When someone asks ChatGPT 'who is the best [service] in Brisbane', the response draws on a combination of publicly available information, structured data and sponsored content. Local businesses that have invested in their digital footprint and structured their information correctly are more likely to appear in those recommendations.
We pair our ChatGPT Ads service with local AEO optimisation to maximise citation frequency for local queries.
ChatGPT uses Bing's index, its training data and real-time browsing to answer local queries. Businesses with strong local SEO signals, structured data, Google Business Profile completeness and citation consistency are more likely to be mentioned.
Several controllable factors increase the frequency with which ChatGPT mentions your business in local recommendation queries.
ChatGPT Ads can amplify an existing organic local presence. If your business is already mentioned organically, a sponsored placement increases the frequency and prominence of those mentions for the specific queries you target.
Businesses that combine strong local SEO, AEO-structured content and ChatGPT Ads create a compound visibility effect: they appear in Google organic results, Google Maps, AI Overviews and ChatGPT recommendations simultaneously. Each channel reinforces the others.
ChatGPT Ads are sponsored placements inside OpenAI's ChatGPT interface. They appear when a user asks a relevant question, showing your brand as a recommended answer. The format is native and conversational, making it different from traditional search or display ads.
