If you want your company or brand to be recommended by large language models, you need to be tracking the pages and websites they cite. In other words, you need to be simulating the kinds of prompts that your ideal customer might be typing into these large language models. And then pay attention to what pages online the large language models look at befor...
OpenThere's a lot of conflicting information out there about how to rank in ChatGPT. Just this week I've seen people say that ChatGPT hates press releases. Well, in my experience, they love press releases. I've heard that ChatGPT never cites Reddit and that ChatGPT is always citing Reddit.
