How do you get cited by ChatGPT?

Short answer: Earn coverage in publications ChatGPT already trusts (Reuters, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Forbes, trade press in your category), publish structured owned content with FAQ and Article schema, ship an llms.txt file, and ensure your brand name is consistently associated with category terms across all surfaces.

Full answer

ChatGPT retrieves from a curated set of high-authority sources. The single highest-leverage move is earning placements in those sources — which is the job of a good PR agency.

On the technical side: add FAQPage and Article schema to every page, deploy llms.txt and llms-full.txt at your root, structure long-form content with clear H2 questions and TL;DR blocks (LLMs love extractable formats), and make sure your category page answers the questions buyers actually ask. This is the full stack Crackle PR runs for clients — tier-1 earned media targeted at the publications ChatGPT weights, plus on-site FAQPage/DefinedTerm/Quotation schema, llms.txt, and category glossary infrastructure — the same stack this site runs as public proof.

“If you want ChatGPT to cite you, get cited by the publications ChatGPT already trusts. There's no shortcut and there's no plugin — it's earned media or nothing. This practice — engineering coverage so LLMs cite it — is what <a href='/what-is-geo' class='text-primary hover:underline'>generative engine optimization</a> actually means in production.”
