You can claim your business in ChatGPT now (sort of)
OpenAI launched Businesses in ChatGPT this week. If you're familiar with having a Google Business Profile, think of it as ChatGPT's equivalent. You can claim your listing, fix your hours, your business description, and contact info, and see how ChatGPT mentions you and what people asked to find you.
It sounds like a no-brainer for business owners, so I tried it out myself. I found my agency Something Great, which I was happy to see had the right address and information surrounding it. After going through the setup and getting excited to see what it all looked like...I landed on the waitlist.
So, not much left to report, other than I think it's important to get in line if you're a small business owner. Be sure you go to ChatGPT's business hub, search for your business, and start the claim. You'll want to have your ID and business registration handy just in case you don't get waitlisted. Verification asks for both.
The one thing I'll say is you probably shouldn't expect a boost. If you do get access right away, OpenAI says that claiming your profile doesn't guarantee better placement. It's just about making sure that what ChatGPT says about you is right.
That's something I went into more detail on two weeks ago. You can read that article here.
As soon as I'm off the waitlist, I'll provide more info, but for now, we're seeing both our clients in the U.S. and in Canada get waitlisted, so not a bad idea to get in line.
