How do I get mentioned in ChatGPT?

Short answer: Earn it. Publish clear, structured answers on your site, reinforce your real-world authority, and use schema + snippet formatting so AI systems can recognize and cite you.

What actually works (action steps):

  • Lead with a 1–2 sentence answer, then follow with lists/tables. This increases your odds of being pulled into featured snippets—sources ChatGPT and other AI engines often rely on.
  • Present Original Facts: As much as possible, share proprietary insights, expert opinions, or any truly novel information to stand out from the crowd.
  • Add schema: use FAQPage, QAPage, and (when relevant) HowTo on answers; add Person/Organization to reinforce the entity behind the content.
  • Use text fragments (#:~:text=) to “point” crawlers/AI to the exact lines that answer the question.
  • Refresh important pages (update facts, examples, stats) and re-submit in Google Search Console so they get re-crawled.
  • Build visible E-E-A-T: author bios, credentials, third-party mentions/backlinks, and active social proof—AI favors recognizable, verifiable experts.
  • Be early (and aim for #1): early/top placements get referenced disproportionately over time (Benford’s Law), which compounds inclusion in AI summaries.
  • Track & tune: monitor AI Overview/share-of-voice tools (e.g., Advanced Web Ranking, Cognizo, Peec.ai) to see which sources your topic is pulling from—then earn those citations.
