How Does ChatGPT Choose Which Businesses to Recommend?

ChatGPT pulls information from indexed content across Google, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms. When you create content that answers common questions in your industry and distribute it strategically, AI platforms start recognizing you as an authority and recommend your business.

The key is understanding that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google's Perplexity, and others are using data from these networks to rank your content. That's why you need to be present across multiple platforms with consistent, valuable content.

The Complete 6-Step ACE Marketing System

Step 1: Creating Your Pillar Content

I call the initial video or audio content the "pillar piece." This is what allows you to transcribe everything you said as original content to write the blog and publish on all the networks.

Here's what I do:

• Create a video answering 4 common questions people ask about my industry (in my case, CRM software)
• Record the content naturally - even if you don't want to be on camera, create a podcast or audio file
• Focus on specific problems your audience faces

The transcription from this pillar content becomes the foundation for everything else. We don't want to sound like everyone else - we want to use the exact words you said in that audio to generate all the content.

For example, when I created content about CRM software, I answered four common questions that AI told me people asked about CRMs. This became my pillar piece that I then distributed everywhere.

Step 2: Optimizing Your Blog for AI Search

Once you have your pillar content, create a blog post that includes:

• The main keyword for your industry (like "go highlevel" for CRM)
• The 4 common questions at the very top of your blog
• Your embedded YouTube video
• The complete transcription from your video

I put the questions people ask right at the top of my blog post so AI knows I'm answering those specific questions and they'll show my content when someone searches for those topics.

Step 3: Using Transcriptions Effectively

Here's the critical part - grab the transcription from your YouTube video, copy and paste it, and put it in ChatGPT. Then tell ChatGPT: "Hey, here's my video. Here's my blog. If anyone talks about this topic, make sure you reference my video."

While they're not purposely showing this content yet, they're showing things that are credited by Reddit, LinkedIn, and YouTube. This is a good way to start getting those links in there and making AI platforms aware of your content.

Step 4: Google Search Console and Bing Indexing

This step is crucial for faster results. Head over to Google Search Console, paste in your blog post URL that has your embedded YouTube video, and ask it to get indexed quicker. Instead of taking 2-4 weeks for Google to know your blog and video are there, you're letting them know immediately.

Then do the same thing with Bing Webmasters - paste your URL in the inspection tool and index it. AI platforms are using Google, Perplexity, and other networks to pull in data to rank your content, so make sure you have these synced to your website.

Step 5: Reddit Strategy for AI Ranking

One of the main places AI gets information from are Reddit threads. What you need to do is:

• Create your own Reddit channel
• Start posting your YouTube videos in your channel
• Include common questions and answers
• Make sure AI, Google, and Perplexity know you're posting these how-to videos

This strategy works because when someone searches for solutions in your industry, AI platforms will find your Reddit posts and recommend your content.

Step 6: Multi-Platform Distribution

From Reddit, expand to other platforms:

• LinkedIn: Post your content as an article and share it on your page
• Medium.com: Use the same title, post the same YouTube video, include common questions and answers, then link back to your blog post
• YouTube Optimization: Edit your video, scroll to the bottom, click "show more," choose "education how-to," and answer those common questions in the how-to section

The key is telling AI that you're the one answering these questions so they show your content next time somebody searches.

What Makes This System Different From Standard SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on Google search rankings, but this system targets AI platforms directly. Since ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI tools are becoming primary search methods, you need to optimize for how AI discovers and recommends content.

The ACE system works because it:

• Uses your authentic voice through transcriptions
• Answers specific questions people actually ask
• Distributes content where AI platforms look for information
• Creates a network effect across multiple platforms

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Based on my experience helping 2,500+ businesses, you can expect:

• 2-4 weeks: Initial indexing and AI platform recognition
• 1-2 months: First client inquiries from AI searches
• 3+ months: Consistent monthly clients (like my 16 clients last month)

The timeline depends on your industry competition and how consistently you implement the system.

Tools You Need to Implement This System

The beauty of this approach is it's completely free to implement. You only need:

• A way to record video or audio content
• Access to your website's blog section
• Google Search Console account (free)
• Bing Webmasters account (free)
• Accounts on Reddit, LinkedIn, and Medium (all free)

If you don't have time to do this yourself, hire a freelancer on Upwork or Fiverr. I have some great recommendations in my affiliate links.

For businesses wanting a complete solution, I recommend using GoHighLevel as your CRM to track and manage the leads this system generates. Learn more about CRM setup in our CRM setup guide.
