Get your business recommended by ChatGPT

🧰 Before you start

• Access to edit your website
• A Google Business Profile (free)
• A few happy customers willing to leave reviews

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

1. ☐
   1. Test where you stand

   Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok the questions your buyers ask, e.g. 'best property investment firm in KL for UK property'. Note who gets mentioned.

2. ☐
   2. Let AI search tools read your site

   Ask your web person to check your robots.txt (a file that tells robots what they may read) doesn't block OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT's search robot) or other AI crawlers.

3. ☐
   3. Write plain answer pages

   Create pages that answer common questions directly: services, prices or price ranges, areas served, how it works.

4. ☐
   4. Claim your Google Business Profile

   Fill in every field, add photos and keep opening hours correct.

5. ☐
   5. Collect genuine reviews

   Ask happy clients to review you on Google and relevant directories.

6. ☐
   6. Get mentioned elsewhere

   Local news, partner sites, case studies and directories all help AI trust you.

7. ☐
   7. Re-test monthly

   Repeat step 1 each month and track if you appear more.
