# How to get recommended by ChatGPT: free AI visibility checker > Learn how to get recommended by ChatGPT. Run a free check to see which buyer questions name your business, which name a rival and what to fix first. Before you change anything, find out where you stand. Type your business and what you sell, and we ask ChatGPT three questions a buyer would ask, with web search on, so you can see which ones already name you. - Page: [How to get recommended by ChatGPT](https://www.rankli.io/tools/how-to-get-recommended-by-chatgpt) - Free, with no account and no email. ## How the check works You give your business name and what you want to be recommended for, and your website if you want a link to it to count. The check asks ChatGPT 3 questions with web search on, the way a customer's question reaches it: 1. Which is the best payroll software for restaurants, and why? 2. I am shopping around for the best payroll software for restaurants. Which would you recommend? 3. When people want the best payroll software for restaurants, which names do they trust most? (Shown with the page's example values; the check fills in yours.) For each answer it shows whether ChatGPT named your business, who it named instead, and which sites it read. An answer to the same question is shared for 7 days, and the report says when it was given. ## Recommendation questions worth testing first ChatGPT recommends in answer to a question, so being recommended means winning specific questions. These are the shapes buyers use, and each one is worth asking on its own. - What is the best project management tool for a small design studio? - Which dentist near Scottsdale is good with nervous patients? - Can you recommend a roofer in Omaha who handles insurance claims? - What should I look for when choosing a web designer, and who is worth a call? - Which meal kit is best for a family that avoids gluten? - We need a payroll provider for twelve employees. Who do small companies use? - Which HVAC company in Phoenix is known for fair quotes? - Is there a good alternative to Mailchimp for an online bakery? The check asks 3. On Growth, Rankli asks 50 of yours every week on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. ## What moves a recommendation toward you Nobody can buy a place in ChatGPT's answers. What you can change is how clearly the web describes your business, because that is the material it builds a recommendation from. ### Answer the question on your own site Pick one question a buyer asks and write the page that answers it fully: who you serve, what it costs, how it works and how to start. A page that settles the question gives the assistant a source to lean on. ### Be described the same way elsewhere Review sites, directories, local listings and industry roundups all describe you too. When their wording matches your own, the assistant sees one consistent business instead of several loose claims. ### Make your page readable as plain text Prices, services and locations that sit inside images, pop-ups or scripts may never be read. Put them in the page text, and check that your robots file does not turn away the crawlers assistants use. ### Earn mentions from sources buyers trust A trade publication, a customer who wrote a detailed review or a comparison article that includes you counts for more than another line on your homepage. Ask for them in the open, and never invent one. ## What this check can tell you about getting recommended - It asks three questions through ChatGPT's API with web search on. It shows where you stand today, not where you will end up. - Nothing guarantees a recommendation, and anyone who sells one is guessing. The check shows evidence, and the fix is better pages and clearer sources. - Answers shift from day to day. A name that is missing once may appear next week, so judge a trend over several checks and not one run. - It reads the answer for your business name and website. If buyers know you by another name, run it again with that one. ## Questions ### How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT? Publish a clear page for each question a buyer asks, make other sites describe you the same way and keep your key facts in plain text. Rankli checks which questions already name you and drafts the pages for the rest. ### Can I pay ChatGPT to recommend me? No. There is no placement to buy in its answers. Recommendations come from what ChatGPT reads, so the work is in your pages and your reputation. The free trial of Rankli finds the questions you lose and writes pages for them. ### How soon after I publish will ChatGPT recommend me? No one can say for certain. Changes show up once your pages are published, read and echoed by other sources, which can take weeks. Rankli asks your questions again every 7 and 14 days after a page goes live, so you can see it. ### Do reviews help me get recommended? They can. Detailed reviews that say what you do and for whom give the assistant specific words to use. Rankli shows which review and directory sites ChatGPT read when it answered, so you know which ones matter. ### Does the recommendation check cost anything? Yes, and it needs no account or email. For more than three questions, the 7-day free trial of Rankli asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini up to 50 of yours. ## Related checks - [Is my business on ChatGPT?](https://www.rankli.io/tools/is-my-business-on-chatgpt): Find out in a minute whether ChatGPT names your business when a stranger asks for one like yours. - [Why is my business not showing up on ChatGPT?](https://www.rankli.io/tools/why-is-my-business-not-showing-up-on-chatgpt): See the answer ChatGPT gives your customers, who it names in your place and the sites it read to decide. - [ChatGPT visibility checker](https://www.rankli.io/tools/chatgpt-visibility-checker): Does ChatGPT recommend your business?
