ChatGPT SEO is the work of getting your brand named and cited in ChatGPT answers and ChatGPT search: opening your site to OpenAI’s search crawler, earning mentions in the sources it draws on and tracking the prompts that matter to revenue. ## We’ve Helped Dozens Of Great Brands Grow Their Digital Presence Via Search Marketing ## If ChatGPT doesn’t name you, it names someone else. ChatGPT does not return ten blue links. It draws on a set of sources and writes one answer, naming a few brands and citing a few pages. Ranking on page one of Google helps, but it does not guarantee a mention, and the sources ChatGPT trusts are often not your own site. We find out which prompts your buyers use, which sources ChatGPT cites for them and why your brand is or is not included. Then we fix what stops it reading your site, make your content easier to quote and build the third-party mentions that put your name in the answer. Why Choose Us ## Senior Specialists. Real Prompts. Revenue In The Report. ## Built Around Search. Measured on Revenue ### The Prompts That Matter Before The Tactics We start with the questions your buyers actually ask ChatGPT when they compare suppliers, not a generic list of prompts. That shows where your brand is named, where competitors are named instead and which sources ChatGPT cites. You get a baseline, priorities ranked by commercial value and a measure to hold us to. - Your brand named in the prompts buyers use - OpenAI’s search crawler able to read your site - Content structured so ChatGPT can quote it - Mentions in the sources ChatGPT already cites - One consistent description of your brand online - AI share of voice reported against competitors #### Crawler Access And Technical Checks OpenAI runs separate crawlers for separate jobs. OAI-SearchBot decides whether your pages can appear in ChatGPT search answers, while GPTBot is used for model training, and each is controlled independently in robots.txt. We check both, along with CDN and firewall rules and JavaScript rendering, so a blocked crawler or an empty HTML page is not quietly costing you citations. #### Prompt Tracking And Cited Sources We build a set of prompts that reflect how your buyers research and compare, then track them over time: whether your brand is named, how it is described, which pages ChatGPT cites and which competitors appear. That shows where your brand needs to be present, and which of those placements are realistic to win. #### Content Built To Be Quoted ChatGPT lifts clear, self-contained statements. We restructure key pages so each section answers one question directly, with the specifics buyers ask about: who it is for, what it includes, how it compares and the evidence behind it. Structured data that matches the visible page and clean internal linking support the same goal. #### Entity Consistency And Digital PR ChatGPT forms a view of your brand from what is written about it across the web. We align how your business is described on your site, profiles, directories and partner pages, then use Digital PR to earn coverage in the publications your buyers trust, so your brand is mentioned alongside the products and topics you want to be known for. ### ChatGPT Visibility Tied To Pipeline Featured Work ## AI Search Work That Got Brands Cited ## What ChatGPT SEO Delivers For The Business ### On The Shortlist Earlier Buyers who ask ChatGPT for options see your brand named before they visit a comparison site or a search results page. ### Accurate Brand Descriptions ChatGPT describes what you do, who you serve and how you compare correctly, rather than repeating outdated claims from old pages. ### Better Qualified Visits Visitors who arrive from a ChatGPT citation have already read a recommendation, so they reach your site further into their decision. ### Lower Cost Of Acquisition A mention in an AI answer is a recommendation you did not pay a click for, which takes pressure off paid media budgets. ### Share Of Voice Against Competitors See how often your brand is named compared with your main competitors across the prompts that matter, tracked month by month. ### One Programme, Not Two The technical, content and Digital PR work that earns ChatGPT citations also supports your Google rankings, so budget is not spent twice. The aim is simple: when a buyer asks ChatGPT who to shortlist, your brand is in the answer, described accurately, with a link back to your site. **4.9** from 130 reviews ## Don’t just take our word for it > “Marketing Signals is our kind of agency: they do what they say they are going to do.

ChatGPT SEO is the work of getting a brand named, described accurately and cited as a source in ChatGPT answers, including ChatGPT search. It is also called ChatGPT optimisation or LLM SEO. It covers making sure OpenAI’s search crawler can read your site, structuring content so it can be quoted, keeping your brand information consistent across the web and earning mentions in the third-party sources ChatGPT relies on. ### Which OpenAI crawler do we need to allow? For ChatGPT search, the important one is OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers, although they can still appear as navigational links. GPTBot is a separate crawler used for training OpenAI’s models, and the two are controlled independently in robots.txt, so you can block training and still allow search. Our free GEO & AI Visibility Checker for Chrome shows which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows. ### Does ranking well on Google help in ChatGPT? Often, but not reliably. When ChatGPT searches the web, pages that are easy to find and answer the question clearly are more likely to be cited. But ChatGPT also weighs what other sources say about you, and it names brands in answers without always linking to them. A brand can rank on page one and still be missing from the answer, which is why we track ChatGPT separately from rankings. ### How do you track visibility in ChatGPT? We build a set of prompts based on how your buyers research and compare, run them on a regular schedule and record whether your brand is named, how it is described, which sources are cited and which competitors appear. Answers vary between runs, so we look at trends across many prompts rather than single responses, and we report AI referral traffic where your analytics can attribute it. ### Can you guarantee our brand will appear in ChatGPT? No, and no agency honestly can. OpenAI does not publish how ChatGPT chooses which brands to name, and answers change as models and sources update. What we can do is remove the technical barriers, make your content easy to quote and build the third-party mentions ChatGPT draws on, then measure how often and how accurately your brand appears as that work lands. ## The Answers to Your Questions Visibility Playbooks ## Related Playbooks Structure your content so search engines, AI assistants and featured snippets can lift a direct answer and credit your brand.
