Can we get ChatGPT to recommend us?

We publish what we learn. The site has 99 pages in its sitemap, among them 18 guides, 10 industry pages, 23 city studies built from stored AI answers, and 6 country pages.

We built a free tool, the AI crawler checker, which reads a site's robots.txt and says which AI crawlers it lets in. Our own robots.txt names the main AI crawlers and lets them read every public page, and our llms.txt describes what we do in plain text.

Directory listings are in progress. We will name each one here once it is live, and not before.

We will rerun the same questions on the same four assistants about once a month and add each result to the log above, whatever it shows. Between runs we keep doing what we tell our customers to do: get listed where the assistants look, and publish pages that answer the questions buyers ask.

Claude and Gemini answer mostly from what they learned in training, so they may take months to notice us even if the work is right. ChatGPT and Perplexity search the web as they answer, so if anything moves early, we expect it there.

It is the method we use for every business, described on How we test. We ask each assistant the same questions, save every answer, and count the answers that name us. We also count every other tool named, because knowing who wins the answer is half of the fix.
