Getting cited by ChatGPT: the 5 sources that matter

We logged every citation across thousands of local prompts. The same short list came back again and again.

The list

For service businesses the recurring sources were the big directories, one or two vertical-specific aggregators, community threads, and the business own site. Nothing exotic — which is good news, because it means the work is finite.

How to work it

Claim and complete every listing on the list, make the description identical across all of them, then earn one or two community mentions. That sequence moved scores faster than any content strategy we tested.
