How do I get named when buyers ask ChatGPT for a consultant in my niche?
Buyers ask AI tools for specialists. Generalists rarely get named; specialists with visible expertise sometimes do.
- Why don't AI tools mention me?
- What should I publish?
- Is this just SEO?
Be specific about who you help and what you do on your website and LinkedIn. Publish useful expertise under your name: articles, frameworks, talks and interviews. Get mentioned by associations, podcasts and partners. Keep profiles consistent. Google says its AI features need no special optimization beyond good SEO. No one can guarantee AI placement.
