How do I rank in ChatGPT?

After indexing, answer the exact questions buyers ask, with the answer at the top of the page, and earn mentions on sources ChatGPT already trusts.

Under the hood, ChatGPT runs a search, retrieves candidates from Bing, reranks them, and writes an answer grounded in what it retrieved, with citations. The exact ranking weights are not published, so be wary of any guide that quotes specific percentages.

This is the on-page half of answer engine optimization. The foundation underneath it is ordinary SEO, since AI answers overwhelmingly cite pages that already rank in normal search.
