How do I get my product recommended by LLMs like ChatGPT?

I've seen ChatGPT and other LLMs recommend tools, products, and websites based on user queries.

As a solo maker, I'm curious,


how do these models decide what to recommend?


Is there a way to “rank” on them like we do with Google SEO?


Would love to hear if anyone has insights on:

  • How LLMs learn about new products

  • Whether backlinks, mentions on GitHub, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc. matter

  • Any best practices to be LLM-visible

Have you tried anything that worked?

actually not, the data used for training is old. new software you see is actully things you put in there. Maybe you can use seo for showing results int he search but it will be hard

Many on Reddit and X suggest creating a llm.txt to make it easier for LLM to understand your website. Is that true?


If it is for yourself yes, if it is for others no. ChatGPT uses bing , so make it so you score on bing

  we need to rank on bing. thanks

There are a few startups doing "SEO for LLMs" now that help with this. I don't have any insight as to "how" they're doing it, but they claim they can help.
