How to get your brand mentioned, selected, and recommended in ChatGPT

---

The problem

Most companies ask:

• “How do we do SEO for ChatGPT?”

---

Then they:

• Create more content
• Optimize keywords
• Build backlinks

---

But nothing changes

• Still not mentioned
• Competitors still dominate

---

The reason

You are applying SEO strategy to a system that doesn’t use SEO

---

---

The shift you must understand

---

Old model:

SEO → ranking → traffic

---

New model:

Data → AI → selection → answers

---

---

Key insight

You don’t win by ranking
You win by being selected

---
