How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT and AI search?

Largely the same things that get you into the map pack.

How can my company appear in ChatGPT?

AI assistants lean on the same signals search engines do: a complete and consistent Google Business Profile, real reviews, a site that clearly states what you do and where you do it, and mentions of your business on other sites. There is no separate AI submission process to pay for, whatever anyone is selling. The practical advice is to be unambiguous about your service area and services in plain language on your own site, since that is the text these systems read.

How do I get my business into Google AI Overviews?

Google says there is nothing extra to add for AI Overviews: a page has to be indexed and eligible to show in normal results, and the same SEO basics apply. What helps in practice is a page that answers one question directly near the top, in plain sentences, with headings worded the way people ask. That is why each of these answers opens with the short answer first.

Can a local business really get recommended by ChatGPT?

It does work. Ask ChatGPT for lawn care or landscaping in their service area and the Shelby County client in our landscaping case study comes back first, with the screenshots on that page. What got them there was ordinary local SEO done properly, not an AI trick. That is the same groundwork covered in local SEO for Louisville contractors.
