Your customers are asking ChatGPT who to hire. Is it saying your name?

You've probably asked ChatGPT to recommend something yourself. Your customers do it too, and it answers with three or four businesses. If you're not one of them, you never find out that customer existed.

Customers have started asking AI who to hire.

You've probably done it yourself. In a single year, it went from rare to normal.

US consumers who used an AI tool to find a local business
20256%
202645%

ChatGPT alone was used by 31% to get a business recommendation. Among 30 to 44 year-olds, 64% have asked AI for one.

It's early, and that's the opportunity. The businesses that adapt now are the ones AI learns to name first.

Ask ChatGPT what your customers ask.

Never used it? ChatGPT is a free AI assistant: you type a question in plain English and it answers. A lot of your customers now use it to decide who to call. You don't need an account.

Your customers type: "Best [what you do] in [your city]"

Were you on the list?

If you weren't, that's normal at the moment, and it can be fixed. Good reviews and a nice website don't get you on that list by themselves. The AI has to be able to work out what you do, where, and why people like you, from sources it actually reads.

Most of your competitors haven't looked at this yet.

What's a missed customer worth?

How Swingo found out ChatGPT was sending them customers.

Swingo runs tours and private transfers in Lisbon and Porto. Like most businesses, they assumed their customers came from Google, TripAdvisor and word of mouth.

Then they added one question to their booking form: "How did you hear about us?" Within weeks, ChatGPT showed up as the biggest website source of their booking requests, ahead of Google. None of those requests came from ads: they came from ChatGPT's ordinary answers.

What made the difference was a handful of unglamorous things: the same details everywhere they were listed, pages that answered real questions, reviews with specifics, and being on the right lists. The playbook turns those into a 7-day method any owner can follow.

Your first step: ask your customers the same question.

Add "How did you hear about us?" to your contact or booking form, with "ChatGPT / AI assistant" as one of the options. It takes five minutes and costs nothing. In a few weeks you'll know how many customers AI is already sending you, or how many it isn't.

Day 7 of the playbook shows you how to set it up and track it.

One job a day, for a week.

Each day ends with a short checklist, so you always know when you're done. Six fill-in templates do the heavy lifting: Audit Sheet, Citation Checklist, About Page, Answer Pages, Review Scripts and Outreach Tracker.

  • The listing most businesses never claim, and why ChatGPT may read it before your Google profile
  • A small file on your website that can quietly block AI, checked in 30 seconds
  • Why forty reviews that say "great service!" don't help much, and what to ask instead

Questions.

I've never used ChatGPT myself. Is this for me?

Yes. Day 1 walks you through it step by step, and you only need it to check what it says about your business. The work itself is updating your listings, your website text and asking customers for reviews, which you already know how to do.

I'm not technical. Can I do this?

Yes. If you can edit your Google Business Profile, you can do this. The couple of technical bits have a copy-paste version, plus a message you can forward to whoever looks after your website.

I don't have much time.

Each day is about an hour and ends with a short checklist, so you know when you're done. Most of it is filling in templates. You can also spread it over two weeks.

I already do SEO. Do I need this?

SEO helps, but AI assistants work differently from a results page. They pick a few businesses and say why. This guide is about making that easy for them: consistent listings, clear answers on your site, reviews with detail, and the outside sites they read.

How long until I see results?

Some changes, like your listings and About page, can show up in weeks. Others take a few months. You get a score on Day 1, so you can check honestly whether it's moving.

What if the AI tools change?

They change all the time, which is why the guide doesn't rely on tricks. It's about getting accurate information about your business into the places these tools read, and that stays useful.

Does this work outside the US?

Yes. I'm based in Portugal, and it works anywhere people use ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity, in any language.

Is this affiliated with OpenAI or Google?

No. It's an independent guide. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI and Gemini is a trademark of Google.

How do I get it?

You can download it as soon as you've paid, and you'll get an email with the link too. It's a normal PDF, so you can read it on a computer or tablet, or print it out.

Want to be on the list?

Start with Day 1. It takes about an hour.
