Frequently asked questions

Can you pay to be recommended by ChatGPT?

No. AI recommendations are earned through content quality, citation breadth, and brand authority - not paid placements. This makes them more trustworthy to users.

How quickly can AI brand recommendations change?

AI models update regularly. A brand can gain or lose recommendation positions within weeks based on new content, citations, or competitor activity.

Does brand size matter for AI recommendations?

Not directly. AI recommends based on relevance and authority, not company size. Small, focused brands often outperform larger ones in niche queries.
