# How Do I Get My Brand Cited in ChatGPT and Other AI Answers? > A step-by-step AEO and GEO playbook for getting your business named and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Find your gaps, fix your pages, publish the posts answers need, get listed where answers look, show up in cited Reddit threads and measure what moved, with prompts you can copy into Revnu. Canonical: https://revnu.com/docs/get-cited-in-ai-answers Last updated: 2026-10-18 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](/sign-up?prompt=Show%20me%20the%20buyer%20questions%20where%20AI%20answers%20name%20my%20competitors%20and%20not%20us%2C%20and%20fix%20the%20biggest%20gap%20first.) ## 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](/docs/pick-prompts-to-track). ## 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](/docs/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](/docs/github-blog-posts). ## 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](/docs/blog-posts-control). ## 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. > Get us listed on the directories AI answers cite for our buyer questions. See [free directory listings](/docs/directory-listings). ## 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](/docs/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](/docs/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](/docs/ai-visibility) 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. ## Next step [Free directory listings](/docs/directory-listings) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT? Be on the pages ChatGPT reads for your buyers' questions, and make your own pages answer those questions clearly. Revnu finds the questions you're missing from, shows the pages the answers cite, then writes posts, proposes page fixes and gets you listed where the answers look. ### How long does it take to show up in AI answers? Usually weeks. Engines discover new pages and listings over time, and answers vary run to run. Judge progress over several measurements on the same questions. ### Do I need to be on G2 or Capterra? If AI answers cite them for your questions, it helps. **Visibility > AI Citations** shows whether they do. Claiming those profiles is your step, and Revnu sends you the link and the copy to paste. ### Does Revnu write "best tools" listicles? Revnu writes comparisons, alternatives pages, use cases, how-to guides and glossaries, compared fairly from public sources. To get onto other sites' "best X" lists, Revnu gives you the link and a ready pitch. ### Can Revnu post on Reddit for me? Revnu drafts Reddit posts you share with one tap. Replies to Reddit threads are available on request: email support@revnu.com to switch them on, and every reply waits for your approval. ### Will this also help my Google rankings? Yes. The same work, clear answers, specific facts, structured pages and listings on trusted sites, helps both Google search and AI answers. Connect [Search Console](/docs/search-console) to see the Google side. ### Which play should I start with? Start where **Improve Visibility** points. Click **Investigate in Chat** on the top gap and Revnu picks the play most likely to help that question. ### How do I know if it worked? Revnu compares the same question on the same engine before and after each action. Keep your tracked questions unchanged so the comparison is fair.
