How to show up when people ask ChatGPT for a local business

People used to ask Google for a local business. Now they ask ChatGPT, and a few other AI assistants, and they trust the answer like it came from a friend. If your business is not in that answer, you are invisible to a fast growing crowd.

Here is the good news. AI search pulls from a lot of the same signals as Google: a complete and accurate business profile, fresh reviews, a site that is fast and easy to read, and listings that all say the same thing. Do those well and you show up in both places.

Start with your Google Business Profile. Fill it out completely, add photos, keep your hours honest, and post once in a while. Then stack reviews, because AI models lean hard on recent, specific reviews.

Then get a smart site that is structured for both people and machines. Clean headings, your services, your area, your hours, and a booking link that is impossible to miss. That is the stuff AI search reads and repeats.
