ChatGPT doesn't know your business exists. Here's how it finds you anyway.
AI models learn up to a certain date, and then they stop. Your services, your prices, the new service you added this year? Not in there. So when someone here in Columbus asks AI who to call, it runs a search, the same way you and I would.
That's why SEO isn't dead. It's how AI finds you now. 3 things matter most:
1. Your website basics: title tags, headings, descriptions
2. A Google Business Profile with every one of your services listed
3. Other places talking about you: reviews, directories, a write-up in the local paper
