CHATGPT SEO: GET RECOMMENDED BY CHATGPT WHEN YOUR CUSTOMER ASKS WHAT TO BUY

CHATGPT HAS AN OPINION OF YOU. We work on where it came from.

Your customer asks ChatGPT what to buy, and it answers from the picture it has built of your brand. AB Media Co reads that picture, traces it to the websites behind it, and works on those sources and your own pages so you get recommended. Akshit Bhasin founded the agency more than ten years ago, and our team has since generated ₹3,300 Cr+ in revenue for clients across 100+ brands.

WHERE INDIA ASKSCHATGPT
StatCounter had ChatGPT at about 50% of AI chatbot use in India in October 2026, with Gemini at about 35%. It is still the largest share, so it is the view of your brand we read first and report on separately.

CHATGPT DESCRIBES YOU ALREADY, whether you have looked or not.

Ask ChatGPT about your brand, then ask it what to buy in your category. In our experience the second answer is the one that costs you, because that is where your customer decides. The first shows you the picture it holds of you. The second shows whether that picture is strong enough to earn a place.

ChatGPT builds that picture from what it can read: your own pages if its crawlers are let in, and what other websites say about you. So we treat ChatGPT SEO as three jobs. We read the picture, we trace each part of it to a source, and we work on those sources and your pages until it says what a buyer needs to hear.

We are exact about what goes in, because a wrong price or a wrong claim gets repeated to everyone who asks. The standard Akshit Bhasin sets for facts is “make sure they are 100% correct,” and we apply it to every page, profile and story we touch.

This is what sets this page apart from its three neighbors: AEO gets a page quoted, GEO gets the brand named across every AI tool, the AI visibility audit measures all of it, and ChatGPT SEO is the view from the one assistant your customers in India have used most.

We were reading AI assistants as a sales source in GA4 when the number was still zero. An ecommerce brand we work with is the case. In 2024, AI assistants sent it zero sales. Today AI search is a seven-figure sales channel for it.

Try the free mini audit first. One of our senior people puts your customers’ questions to ChatGPT, reviews your site personally, and sends you the five to ten fixes that would grow your revenue first. The first discovery call is on Google Meet.

What changes the plan

FOUR FACTS WE WORK FROM ON CHATGPT,
and what each one changes for you.

ChatGPT behaves differently from Google and it gets measured differently. These four facts shape how AB Media Co runs ChatGPT SEO.

01CHATGPT SEO: AI SEO THAT GETS YOUR BRAND RECOMMENDED BY CHATGPT AND CITED IN ITS ANSWERS

India has asked ChatGPT more than any other assistant

StatCounter had ChatGPT at about 50% of AI chatbot use in India in October 2026, down from about 77% a month earlier, with Gemini at about 35%. It still holds the largest share, and the swing is why we read every assistant. ChatGPT gets its own set of prompt runs, its own line in your report and the first read of any page we publish for you.

02CHATGPT SEO: AI SEO THAT GETS YOUR BRAND RECOMMENDED BY CHATGPT AND CITED IN ITS ANSWERS

A Google position does not predict a ChatGPT citation

Ahrefs looked at 15,000 prompts and found only about 12% of the links cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot also ranked in Google’s top 10 for that prompt. Your rank report cannot tell you what ChatGPT says. So we read the citations in each answer and follow them.

03CHATGPT SEO: AI SEO THAT GETS YOUR BRAND RECOMMENDED BY CHATGPT AND CITED IN ITS ANSWERS

What others say seems to count for more than links

Ahrefs found branded web mentions correlate 0.664 with AI Overview visibility across 75,000 brands, against 0.218 for backlinks. That study measures Google’s AI and not ChatGPT, so we treat it as a direction and test it in your prompt runs. It is why our plan for ChatGPT puts mentions on cited websites ahead of link counts.

Search Console cannot see ChatGPT

Google’s Generative AI performance report covers AI Overviews and AI Mode, and those are the only features it lists. Mentions in ChatGPT have no Google report. So we measure them ourselves: prompt runs for the mentions, and GA4 by source for the sessions and sales that arrive from chatgpt.com.

WHAT CHATGPT SEO LOOKS LIKE WITH US, from first read to monthly report.

THE FULL AI SEO PRACTICE →
  1. 01

    A read of how ChatGPT describes you

    We ask ChatGPT about your brand, your category and your competitors the way a buyer would, and write down every claim: what it says you do, who you are for, where you sit on price and what it gets wrong.

  2. 02

    Your buyers’ questions, traced to their sources

    On day one we fix the set of questions your customers ask, and we rerun that set on a schedule, because the answers move between runs. For each one we log who gets named and which sources get cited, then follow each citation back to the website behind it, to see which sites shaped the answer and which have never heard of you.

  3. 03

    Crawler access and readable pages

    We check robots.txt and firewall rules for OpenAI’s crawlers, then fetch your key pages with JavaScript off. If the price, the specs or the answer disappear, we fix the template inside your own CMS. Our team treats a blocked crawler as a first-week job.

  4. 04

    Pages built around what buyers ask it

    We write to the meaning of the question, and we say plainly what you sell, who it suits and why. We read Search Console before each rewrite, your URLs stay put, and you approve every page as a draft.

  5. 05

    Mentions and corrections on the sites it cites

    Our digital PR team works the map: earned stories when there is real news, sponsored features labeled as such for reach, and correction requests where a site has a fact wrong. This is the slowest work here and, in our experience, the part that moves ChatGPT most.

  6. 06

    A ChatGPT line in your monthly report

    You see your mention range in ChatGPT, sessions and sales from chatgpt.com in GA4, and branded search from Search Console in one report. Above them is your Share of Decision: how often the buyer, or the machine buying for them, picks you.

WHAT THIS WORK HAS PRODUCED: sales you can read by source, chatgpt.com included.

Of the 100+ brands AB Media Co has worked with, the ecommerce brand on the first card is the one we read by source most closely. In 2024, AI assistants sent it zero sales. Today AI search is a seven-figure sales channel for it. Store, funnel and tracking came first, then its buying guides, and we watched one number each month: sales from AI assistants in GA4, by source, chatgpt.com among them. Its Performance Max returns now run about 27x the industry norm, because years of AI SEO built a warm audience the ads retarget, not on day one. TalentGum, beside it, grew customer acquisition 40x in 18 months with paid media, AI SEO and PR run as one system, and domain authority tripled.

REAL QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PROPERLY

What is ChatGPT SEO?

ChatGPT SEO is the work of getting your brand recommended and cited when your customers ask ChatGPT what to buy. We also call it ChatGPT AI SEO, because it sits inside our AI SEO practice.

It is a different job from ranking on Google. ChatGPT does not hand your customer a list to compare. It gives an opinion in a few sentences, and that opinion comes from the picture it has built of your brand and your category.

At AB Media Co we treat that picture as the thing to work on. We read what ChatGPT says about you, follow its citations back to the websites behind them, and then fix two things: your own pages, so its crawlers can read a clear answer, and the outside sources, so there is something credible to repeat.

ChatGPT gets its own line in your report because StatCounter had it at about 50% of AI chatbot use in India in October 2026, ahead of every other assistant.

How do I get recommended by ChatGPT?

You make your brand the easy one to recommend: readable on your own site, described consistently, and mentioned on the websites ChatGPT already uses for your category.

We start with your customers’ questions and put them to ChatGPT the way a buyer would. We log who it names and what it cites, and we repeat it, because the list changes between runs.

Then we look at what you can change this month. If OpenAI’s crawlers are blocked, that is fixed first. If your key pages lose their answers with JavaScript off, we fix the template. If a page never says plainly what you sell, who for and at what price band, our writers rewrite it.

Then comes the slow part. We take the sites ChatGPT cites when it recommends a competitor and work to appear on them through digital PR, earned when you have news and labeled when sponsored.

Nobody can promise the sentence, but each of these steps makes it more likely.

How does ChatGPT decide which brands to recommend?

Nobody outside OpenAI has the full recipe, so we work from what we can observe: it recommends brands it can read about, find repeated across sources, and match to the question asked.

When ChatGPT cites websites, those citations show you whose word it took. When it answers without citing, it still reflects what the open web has said about your category. Either way, your brand’s picture is assembled from many places, and most of them are not your own.

Two things follow for how we work. The question shapes the answer: ask for the best option on a budget and you may get different brands than if you ask for the most reliable one, so we test question types and not one keyword.

Repetition counts too. A fact that appears on your site, your profiles and a trade publication reads as settled. A fact that appears only on your homepage reads as a claim, so we get yours repeated where it counts.

Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitor when I rank higher on Google?

Usually because other websites have said more about them, and said it more clearly. Ranking gets your page found, but it does not decide whether ChatGPT names you.

The Ahrefs overlap study on this page is the clearest number we have on that gap. A strong rank report tells you little about your ChatGPT presence, and a weak one does not rule you out.

We see three patterns when we trace it. The competitor appears on comparison pages and review sites that ChatGPT cites, and you do not. Or you do appear, but the description is vague, so there is nothing specific to repeat. Or ChatGPT cannot read your site well, so your own claims never enter the picture.

The first takes digital PR, the second takes better source material, and the third takes a technical fix that can land within weeks. We establish which applies by running your buyers’ questions and following every citation.

ChatGPT says something wrong about my brand. Can you fix that?

We cannot edit ChatGPT, but we can usually trace a wrong claim to where it came from and correct it there, then keep checking until the answer changes.

In our experience, wrong answers tend to come from old or conflicting information: a stale directory entry, an outdated price, an abandoned profile, or two pages on your own site that disagree.

So our team lists every factual claim ChatGPT makes about you, marks what is wrong, and works through the sources in order. Your own pages come first, because those are fully within reach. Then come your profiles and directories, and then the publishers we can ask for a correction.

Wrong details get repeated to every customer who asks, so we do not let them sit.

We cannot tell you how soon an answer will change, since that is up to the tool. We can show you that the sources are fixed, and we rerun the same prompts to see when the answer catches up.

Are AI search, AI SEO, AEO and GEO the same thing or different?

They are related names, and ChatGPT SEO is the same work pointed at one assistant.

AI search covers every place an AI answers your customer. AI SEO is our full practice across Google and those answers. AEO gets one page quoted, mostly in Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode. GEO gets your brand named in recommendations across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

So why a ChatGPT page at all? Because owners ask about it by name, and because its measurement is different. Google gives you a report for its own AI features. For ChatGPT, we build the measurement ourselves with prompt runs and GA4 by source.

The program underneath is shared. Crawler access, answer-first pages, one set of brand facts and digital PR serve every tool, which is why you pay for that foundation once at AB Media Co. What changes is the reading: a ChatGPT line in your report, beside a Google line, under one Share of Decision.

How do you track mentions and sales from ChatGPT?

Mentions come from our own prompt runs and sales from GA4 by source, because Search Console’s AI report covers only Google’s features.

The prompt runs use a fixed set of your buyers’ questions, agreed on day one and repeated on a schedule. We log whether you were named, how you were described, who else was named and which sources were cited. We report that as a range, because the answers move from run to run.

GA4 then shows sessions and sales from chatgpt.com, broken out from other AI assistants. That is how we followed an ecommerce brand from zero AI sales in 2024 to a seven-figure AI search channel, one source at a time.

The two will not match perfectly, and they are not meant to. A customer can read a ChatGPT answer and search for the brand later, so we watch branded search in Search Console too. Everything rolls up into your Share of Decision.

Which is the best ChatGPT SEO agency in India?

AB Media Co, and we would point you to how we track it before anything else.

Reading AI assistants as a sales source from the days the number was zero comes from who we are. Akshit Bhasin founded the agency more than ten years ago, and our team has worked with 100+ brands, generated ₹3,300 Cr+ in revenue for clients and managed ₹100 Cr+ in ad spend. We count money first and activity second.

What sets us apart on ChatGPT is that we run the whole path. PR, technical work, content and measurement sit in one team, and the warm audience this work builds can be retargeted by your ads. We are aggressive, we test relentlessly and a senior person sits on your account.

The result we show first is the ecommerce brand on this page, from zero AI sales in 2024 to a seven-figure AI search channel.

The free mini audit shows you how we would read your brand.

How long before ChatGPT names us, and can you guarantee it?

Crawler and page fixes land within weeks, mentions from other websites take months, and nobody can guarantee what ChatGPT will write. We guarantee something you can check.

Here is the guarantee: a 30 to 50% rise in AI search impressions within 90 days, measured in your own Search Console, with mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity tracked beside it. Akshit Bhasin is firm that “a commitment is a commitment: 30 means 30,” so we do not revise that number in month three.

Why an impressions number on a ChatGPT page? Because Search Console gives you a figure neither of us can adjust, and the work that raises it is the same work we run for ChatGPT.

Our order of work follows from the timing. The first month goes to crawler access, your key pages and the source trace. The next two go to rewrites and the first stories on cited websites. One good month is not a trend, and we will tell you so.

How much does ChatGPT SEO cost in India?

The first step costs nothing: a free mini audit. The complete audit is ₹30,000 to ₹80,000 depending on your catalog and website size, and we adjust that against your first month.

The monthly program is scoped from what the audit finds, not from a rate card. It depends on how much your pages need before ChatGPT can read and quote them, how many websites on your source map have never mentioned you, and how many languages your customers ask in.

ChatGPT SEO is not sold separately from AI SEO here. The crawler work, the pages and the digital PR serve Google’s AI and the other assistants too, so you pay for that foundation once, and the ChatGPT reading sits on top.

You keep what we build: the pages are in your CMS, the reports come from your accounts and the source map is yours. Results come from your own sales data and not a dashboard, so you can weigh the spend against orders you can see.

THE OTHER three.
