To get recommended by ChatGPT, make the details buyers compare clear and current: product fit, availability, total cost and relevant terms. Then inspect how your information is retrieved and what customer activity reaches your site.

Start with the questions your customers ask. A product is easier to evaluate when the page explains why it fits, what the buyer receives and what happens next.

## Publish the facts behind a buying decision

- Describe the product or service and who it fits.
- State price, relevant options and availability from current sources.
- Explain delivery, returns, cancellation or service conditions.
- Use accessible text alongside useful images and comparisons.
- Link to a clear next action and supporting policy pages.

## Check how the information is retrieved

Inspect a representative page as a direct fetch and in a browser. Some clients render pages; others use fetched text or structured integrations. Check whether the important facts are present in the path you are testing.

The [Console preview](/help/console/console-preview) compares responses. A supported Markdown view can make configured business facts concise; an HTML response can also be readable and complete.

## Keep sources and offers consistent

Maintain the visible page, product markup and any feed from the same current business information. A price correction should reach every representation of that offer. Include conditions that affect the customer’s decision.

An authorized negotiated offer can differ from the public offer. Identify its terms and audience clearly, rather than changing commercial facts based only on a claimed user-agent string.

## Support discovery and useful connections

Use stable URLs, descriptive links and current business profiles. A curated llms.txt can orient clients that use it. Supported product feeds and transaction integrations provide additional routes to your catalog.

Platform programs have their own current eligibility and setup. Rebilder’s protocol adapters provide specific configured capabilities; installing an adapter is not the same as joining every shopping program.

## Track requests, answers and customer actions

Reported requests show which pages were fetched. Identifiable AI referrals show visitors who followed a link to your site. Sampled prompts show selected assistant responses. Keep the evidence and scope of each clear.

Use these signals to choose changes: clarify an answer, update a source, repair access or add a useful operation. Review inquiries and orders alongside the changes to understand their business value.

## Choose an improvement partner

An agency or tool can help with source cleanup, content, integrations and ongoing research. Ask for concrete deliverables and evidence. Describe the service it performs and measure observed recommendations as an outcome, rather than assuming a third party controls every assistant answer.

## How do I get recommended by ChatGPT?

Make relevant buying facts clear and current, support the retrieval paths you use and measure observed requests, referrals and answer samples.

## Does Markdown help?

It can provide a compact representation for clients that request it. Check the answer’s completeness in the actual response.

## How do I know ChatGPT visited?

Review reported requests and their classification evidence. A claimed client name alone is not verified identity or proof of a recommendation.

## Can Rebilder connect my catalog?

Rebilder supports configured sources and protocol adapters. Use the documentation for the operations and setup your business needs.

## What should I improve first?

Choose an important customer question and fix the specific missing, stale or inaccessible information that prevents a complete answer.
