Tried Claiming Profile via ChatGPT yet?

[Barb Davids]

I heard we can claim it but curious of the benefits. Or what behind the scenes they have access too that ChatGPT thought this was a good idea and are they just using an API like any other tool might?

The benefit is control and a view, not reach. Once claimed, you can fix the hours and details and see how often ChatGPT shows the business and how many clicks follow. OpenAI says claiming doesn't move anyone up in its answers, though. The Hub also won't tell you who ChatGPT recommends for "plumber in [town]" when your name isn't in the question. So I'd write down a handful of those questions, ask each in a new chat before claiming, and repeat them a few weeks later. On the API part, I haven't seen OpenAI say where the listing data comes from.
