How to Get ChatGPT to Recommend Your Business (And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever)

From August to December last year, ChatGPT’s weekly active users surged from 200 million to 300 million. That’s a 50% increase in just four months — a seismic shift in how consumers discover businesses.

And here’s what most business owners haven’t realised yet:

When a potential customer searches for “best [your service] near me,”
they’re probably not Googling it anymore…
They’re asking ChatGPT.

Unlike traditional search engines, ChatGPT doesn’t give people 10 options.
It gives one trusted recommendation.

And if your business isn’t the one ChatGPT suggests?
You’ve lost the lead before you even knew they were looking.

So, how do you get ChatGPT to recommend you?

At Disrupta, we’ve spent the last 6 months testing and refining a process that makes businesses more likely to be mentioned and recommended by ChatGPT. We’ve bundled it into an internal SOP that’s now a core part of our SEO strategy.

No fluff. No theory. Just what works.

Want to Rank on Google? Own Your Niche First

Let’s cut the fluff:
Google’s not handing out free traffic just because you blog once a week.

If you want to show up when people search, you’ve got to own your space.
Not with more content.
Not with keywords shoved into every sentence.

But by being the best damn answer to the questions your dream clients are already asking.

That’s it. Be the authority. Own the niche. Win the clicks.

What Google Actually Cares About (It’s Only 2 Things)

  1. Is Your Content Actually Helpful?
    If someone Googles a question, and you give a clear, practical answer — Google gives you love.
  2. Do People Stick Around?
    If they click your link, read your stuff, and go deeper into your site — boom. More trust. More traffic.

Want to Build Authority? Use This Plan:

Step 1 – Know What You Really Sell
You’re not “a lawyer.” You help overseas nurses get into Australia — fast, and with less stress. Niche down.

Step 2 – Pick Your Anchor Topic
This is what you want to be known for. One clear, sharp topic. Stick to it.

Step 3 – Create Core Content
What are the big questions your best clients ask before they buy? Answer those. Make each one count.

Step 4 – Build Around It
Now add the follow-ups. The “but what about…” questions. Link it all together.

Want to Keep It Even Simpler?

You don’t need to blog 5x a week. You just need momentum.
Pick two of these and go all in:

 ✔ Go Wide: Cover related topics
 ✔ Go Deep: Explain each one like a pro
 ✔ Stay Fresh: Keep it updated

Don’t Make These Rookie SEO Mistakes

 ❌ Don’t copy what your competitors are writing
 ❌ Don’t keyword-stuff like it’s 2007
 ❌ Don’t chase traffic — earn trust

Final Word: SEO Isn’t a Trick — It’s a Trust Game

This isn’t about playing Google’s game.
It’s about helping people so well that Google has to notice you.

 ✔ Be useful
 ✔ Be clear
 ✔ Be consistent
 ✔ Stay in your lane

Do that, and Google will send you traffic for years.

Why “Keyword Research” Is Dead (And What To Do Instead)

Still writing content around keywords?

Like “best plumber Sydney” or “cheap business coach”?

Yeah… stop that.

That kind of SEO worked 10 years ago. Now it just makes your website look like it’s trying too hard — and Google sees straight through it.

Today, Google doesn’t want keywords. It wants answers.

It wants clarity. Authority. Actual help.

Let’s show you how to give it what it wants.

 

Why Old SEO Doesn’t Work Anymore

Old-school SEO = Pick a keyword. Jam it into a blog.

Hit “publish” and hope for traffic.

Problem is, that traffic never converts.

Here’s why:

  • The data’s often wrong or outdated
  • You’re guessing what people might search
  • You’re missing what people actually care about
  • Your content ends up weak, scattered, and full of fluff

It’s like trying to win a marathon in flip-flops.

It technically works… but it’s not gonna get you far.

 

What Google Actually Cares About

Google’s job is simple: show the best answer to someone’s question.

Not the most “keywordy.” The most useful.

Here’s what it looks for now:

What Google Looks For
What That Means For You
Clear Topics Google knows what you do and who you help
Real Questions You’re answering what buyers actually ask
Connected Content Your info links together and makes sense
Depth and Trust You cover the topic like an expert would
Helpful Tone It sounds human, not robotic

 

What To Do Instead of Keyword Lists

Here’s how you get better rankings and better leads:

Step 1: Start With What People Actually Care About

Don’t begin with:

“Buy mountain bike online”

Start with the real stuff your buyer wants to know:

  • What frame is best for trails?
  • Hardtail or full suspension?
  • How much should I spend?

Example:

Old: “Best electric bike Australia”

New: “How far can an e-bike go on one charge?”

See the difference? One feels like a trick. The other feels helpful.

Use tools like:

  • Google autocomplete
  • FAQs from customers
  • Questions people ask in sales calls

Real problems = real content ideas.

Step 2: Turn Topics Into Questions

People Google questions. You should answer them.

Try these two simple frameworks:

1. IQQI

– “If you were your ideal client, what questions would you ask?”

2. K2Q

– “Take a keyword and turn it into a question”

Example:

Keyword: “CRM for small business”

Question: “What’s the easiest CRM for a 5-person team?”

Now that’s content someone actually wants to read.

Keep answers short, sharp, and real.

Step 3: Build Trust With Depth

Don’t just write one article.

Build a mini-library that shows you know your stuff.

✔️ Cover all the key subtopics

✔️ Link articles together (Google loves that)

✔️ Write like you talk — keep it natural

✔️ Stick to a clear format so people can skim

✔️ Lead with answers — keep ‘em under 40 words if you can

Example:

Niche: Solar panels

Instead of one article on “solar energy,” build this:

  • “How much power does a 6.6kW solar system produce?”
  • “What’s the best inverter for home use?”
  • “How long do solar batteries last?”
  • “What’s the payback period on solar?”

You become the go-to — not just another search result.

 

The New SEO Plan (For Non-Techy Business Owners)

Step 1: List the key topics in your business

Topic What People Ask
Bookkeeping “What’s the easiest software for tradies?”
Marketing Coach “How do I get more leads without ads?”
IT Support “What’s the cost of managed IT services?”

Step 2: Create content around those questions

Write answers you’d say to a real client. No fluff. No filler.

Step 3: Link it all together like a library

Not just scattered blogs — a system.

So Google sees you as the expert. And so do your buyers.

 

In Summary: What To Do Instead of Keywords

✔️ Stop obsessing over keywords

✔️ Start focusing on what your buyers actually ask

✔️ Build content that helps, not sells

✔️ Go deep enough to be trusted

✔️ Make it easy for Google (and people) to find and follow

Bottom line:

Don’t play the old SEO game.

Own the new one — by being the most helpful voice in your market

SEO in 2025: What Actually Moves the Needle (No Fluff, Just Results)

The SEO game has changed. Again.

In 2025, Google isn’t just rewarding who shows up. It’s rewarding how you show up—and how helpful, relevant, and trustworthy you are.

If you’re still doing SEO the way you did two years ago, you’re leaving traffic, leads, and clients on the table.

 

Here’s a no-fluff breakdown of what’s working right now, and how to turn your site into a lead-generating machine.

 

Build Topical Authority, Not Just Backlinks

Google doesn’t want “generalists.” It wants trusted specialists.

You don’t need 1,000 blog posts—you need the right posts, structured around the way people actually search.

What Works:
  • Topical maps that cover a subject from start to finish.
  • Silo structure: Clean internal links that show your site’s expertise and hierarchy.
  • Content that builds depth, not just breadth.

Move the Needle: Group your content into clusters. One main topic, surrounded by related subtopics. Think definitions, how-tos, comparisons, problems, and solutions.

 

Prioritize Semantic Relevance Over Keyword Stuffing

Keyword density is dead. Semantic depth is in.

Google’s using AI to understand meaning, not just match terms.

What Works:
  • Include related entities and terms that reflect natural human conversation.
  • Optimize for BERT, MUM, and other language models that “read” like people do.
  • Focus on clarity and completeness—not keyword counts.

Move the Needle: Build pages that reflect real-world language. Use terms your audience actually uses. Match their intent, not just their words.

 

Deliver Unique Information That Can’t Be Found Anywhere Else

Regurgitating top-ranking blogs won’t cut it anymore. Google now rewards content that brings something new to the table.

What Works:
  • First-party data: Share your own insights, case studies, or original frameworks.
  • Expert interviews and lived experience.
  • Koray Gübür’s concept of Information Gain—Google gives bonus points for originality.

Move the Needle: Add value others don’t. Include stories, lessons learned, unique visuals, and new ways to think about the problem.

 

Use Internal Linking Strategically

Internal links aren’t just for navigation. They’re for distributing authority and guiding both users and search engines.

What Works:
  • Contextual links inside paragraphs, not just sidebars and footers.
  • Link hubs: Create “central” pages that link to related subtopics.
  • Smart anchor text that reflects the semantic relationship between pages.

Move the Needle: Treat internal linking like a map. Use it to highlight your most important content and create a clear, logical flow.

 

Optimize for Answers, Not Just Keywords

Search is moving toward conversations, questions, and instant answers. If your content doesn’t speak to this shift, it’s being left behind.

What Works:
  • Structured answers with bullet points, headings, and FAQs.
  • Target “People Also Ask” questions and related queries.
  • Use schema markup to enhance your content for featured snippets and voice search.

Move the Needle: Make your page the best answer on the internet for the questions your audience is already asking.

 

Establish Entity-Based Authority

Google is building its own version of LinkedIn. It’s connecting dots between people, companies, topics, and ideas.

If your brand isn’t part of that network, you’re invisible.

What Works:
  • Mention relevant entities in your content.
  • Use structured data to define who you are and what you do.
  • Strengthen your E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust).

Move the Needle: Build your presence. Be referenced, quoted, cited, and connected to other high-trust entities in your space.

 

Align Content with Multi-Layered User Intent

A single search query can come from people at different stages of awareness. If you’re only writing for one, you’re missing everyone else.

What Works:
  • Classify queries by intent: Informational, Navigational, Transactional, Commercial, and Local.
  • Build content that speaks to all stages—from “what is it?” to “which one is best?”
  • Optimize for engagement: scroll depth, dwell time, and click-throughs all send signals to Google.

Move the Needle: Design content that helps readers take the next step—wherever they’re starting from.

 

Meet the Minimums on Speed, UX, and Core Web Vitals

Yes, your site still needs to be fast, mobile-friendly, and secure. But in 2025, that’s just table stakes—not a growth strategy.

 What Works:
  • Fast-loading, clean UI
  • Mobile-first design
  • Secure (HTTPS) and technically sound

Move the Needle: Do the basics well, but put your energy into content quality and semantic strategy.

 

TL;DR – SEO Tactics That Still Matter in 2025

 

SEO Strategy Still Works? Why It Moves the Needle
Topical Authority ✔✔✔ Shows deep, structured knowledge on a subject
Semantic Optimization ✔✔✔ Matches searcher intent, not just keywords
Unique Content (Info Gain) ✔✔✔ Offers original value Google hasn’t seen before
Internal Linking ✔✔ Builds authority and logical site architecture
Entity-Based SEO ✔✔ Connects your brand to the Knowledge Graph
Answer Engine Optimization ✔✔ Wins featured snippets, PAA, and voice search
Core Web Vitals ✔ (baseline) Needed for usability, but not a competitive edge

 

Final Thought: Content That Understands People Wins

In 2025, the SEO winners are clear:

  • They build deep topical authority
  • They optimize for questions, not just terms
  • They focus on clarity, not clutter
  • They think like educators, not just marketers

Stop optimizing for bots.

Start building content ecosystems that make Google and your readers trust you.

That’s how you turn rankings into results.

Why Content Marketing is Still King!

While for most people, content on its own is often not a huge generator of leads, it never ceases to amaze me how much better it makes ALL other forms of our marketing perform.

I’m yet to pair content marketing with any other channel and not have it make a noticeable improvement to the results across the board.

So why does content amplify things so well?

In my experience, there are two main stages that people can find themselves in with their content marketing:

  • Nurturing
  • Lead Generation
  • Whether you are in the Nurturing Stage or the Lead Generation Stage is usually just determined by the Quality and Volume of the content you’re producing.

    🌱 Nurturing Stage

    This is the easiest stage to be in. It involves producing just enough quality content so that when potential prospects check you out on social media, they are left convinced you are worth spending money with.

    📈 Lead Generation Stage

    Lead Generation, on the other hand, requires a certain level of mastery over consistency in posting Quality Content.

    Platforms like YouTube require:

  • The right kind of videos
  • Posted every weekday
  • For at least 6 months or more
  • This consistency helps to tickle the algorithm and drive results.

    💡 My Advice:

  • Don’t be overwhelmed by trying to be Gary V.
  • Start small, stay consistent, and build up as posting regularly becomes manageable.
  • ✨ You’ll thank me later as your other marketing will work better.

    🤷‍♂️ Not sure what platform(s) to post on?

    Simply ask your ideal clients where they consume content!

    ⚙️ Our Strategy at Disrupta
