How Do I Get My Brand Cited in ChatGPT and Other AI Answers?

You get cited in ChatGPT and other AI answers by being on the pages those answers are built from, and saying clearly what you do. Revnu runs this playbook for you: it finds the questions you're missing from, reads the pages the answers cite, then writes posts, fixes pages and gets you listed where the answers look. Each play below has a prompt you can paste into Revnu.

The fastest start is one message:

Show me the buyer questions where AI answers name my competitors and not us, and fix the biggest gap first.

Try this in Revnu

1. See where you stand

Open Visibility > Overview. The headline is your Visibility: the share of AI answers to your tracked questions that mention you. Below it, the Improve Visibility card lists your gaps: questions where you're missing, engines where you're weak and competitors beating you.

Click Investigate in Chat on any gap. Revnu reads the latest answers for that question, picks the one next action most likely to help and tells you what the next measurement should show.

Check Visibility > Competitors too. Where They Beat You lists the questions a competitor wins and you don't. Those are your first targets.

Which three competitors beat us most often in AI answers, and on which questions?

If your list of tracked questions is thin, fix that first. See how to pick the right prompts.

2. Find the pages the answers lean on

Open Visibility > AI Citations. Most-cited Sources and Top Citation Domains show the sites engines cite for your questions. Click a domain to see its exact pages, and use Citation Categories to see whether they're review sites, publications, community threads or something else.

Every cited page that names a competitor and not you is a target. Your play depends on what kind of page it is, and the next plays cover each kind.

For the question "invoicing tool for freelancers", which pages do the answers cite, and which of them name our competitors but not us?

3. Make your own pages easy to cite

Engines cite pages that answer the question directly, with specific facts, in HTML they can read. Revnu helps on both fronts:

• Content. When the answers miss a fact your page doesn't state either, Revnu proposes the exact addition and the page it belongs on.

• Technical. A site audit checks what your server actually sends: real HTML content, robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, canonical tags and structured data.

Audit my site for AI search and tell me the one fix that matters most.

To get fixes made, connect GitHub and Revnu opens pull requests for you to merge, or give your coding agent a token so it can ask Revnu what to change. See Connect GitHub.

4. Publish the posts the answers need

If no page anywhere answers a buyer's question well, write one. Revnu writes and publishes posts in your voice, researched and checked against the facts in your Memory, with an FAQ section on every post. Formats that answer engines cite well:

• Comparisons: "Your product vs a competitor", comparing how each works, written fairly.

• Alternatives: "Alternatives to a competitor" for buyers who are switching.

• Use cases: how your product solves one job for one kind of buyer.

• How-to guides: step-by-step answers to a question your buyers ask.

• Glossaries: plain definitions of the terms in your category.

Write a comparison post on how we compare with our biggest competitor for freelancers who need VAT invoicing.

Open Visibility > Search Expansions to see the searches engines run behind each question. If they keep adding words like "pricing", "for small teams" or "free", ask Revnu to cover those angles in the post.

Posts follow your Blog Posts setting: Revnu publishes on its own or waits for your approval. See control what gets published.

5. Get listed where the answers look

Directories, review sites and "submit your tool" pages show up in AI answers all the time. Revnu submits you to the free ones the answers cite, fills in each form from your Memory and keeps proof of every submission. For profiles that check who you are, such as G2 and Capterra, it sends you the link and the copy to paste.

6. Get onto "best X" lists

"Best X" articles and roundups on other people's sites are among the most cited pages for buying questions. When one names your competitors and not you, Revnu gives you the link, the right contact route and a ready pitch, and you decide whether to send it.

Find the "best X" lists that AI answers cite for our questions and draft a pitch to get us included in each.

7. Show up in the Reddit threads answers cite

Engines cite Reddit threads heavily, especially for honest comparisons. Revnu can show you the threads AI answers cite on your questions where a competitor was named. It drafts Reddit posts for you to share with one tap, and on accounts with Reddit replies switched on, it drafts a helpful reply to each cited thread, which waits for your approval. To switch replies on, email support@revnu.com. See social posts.

Show me the Reddit threads AI answers cite for our questions where a competitor gets recommended.

8. Measure what moved

Every action Revnu proposes says what the next measurement should show. To judge it fairly:

• Keep your tracked questions unchanged and compare the next measurements with the ones before, on the same engines.

• Use Last 30 Days for a steadier number.

• Give it weeks. Engines pick up new pages and listings over time.

To see visits AI engines send you, install the Revnu Tag and ask:

How much traffic did AI engines send us in the last 28 days, by engine and landing page?

AI Visibility: What the Numbers Mean explains every number.

Let Revnu run the whole loop

You don't have to run these plays one by one. Revnu tracks your questions on a schedule, finds the gaps, does the work your approval settings allow and checks whether it moved the numbers. Ask for a weekly summary any time:

Every Monday, tell me what changed in our AI visibility and what you did about it.
