When a customer asks ChatGPT who to hire, it can now show your business profile. Since November 10, 2026, businesses can claim that profile in OpenAI's Business Hub, correct it and see how often ChatGPT mentions them. We set up the claim, walk you through verification, make your website match the profile, and report ChatGPT mentions, clicks and leads every month. It's part of our AI search work, and the profile stays in your name.

What's included
What does ChatGPT business profile management include?
Six pieces of work. The first two get your profile claimed and accurate. The rest decide what ChatGPT says about you and show whether it brings in work.
Claim and verification
We find your listing, pick the verification method you can pass today, and add the DNS record if we use your domain. OpenAI’s ID check has to be done by the owner or an authorized representative of your business, so that one step is yours.
Profile details
Description, category, website, logo, cover photo, and delivery and return policies for online sellers. OpenAI reviews each edit before it goes live, and we track every one.
Website facts ChatGPT reads
A page for each service, the places you serve listed by name, current hours and contact details, and an about page. Your profile and your site end up saying the same thing.
Product feed and Business Agent
For eligible US online stores and online services: your Shopify store or product feed connected, and agent instructions written to match your site and stay inside OpenAI’s agent rules.
Tracking and monthly report
ChatGPT visits, calls and form fills from your analytics, next to the mentions, clicks and discovery topics in Business Hub Insights.
Pages for what people ask
When Insights shows a topic where you get cited but your site says little, we write the page. Topics you want and never appear in go on the list too.
Who can claim now
Can your business claim a ChatGPT profile yet?
Business Hub opened as a beta, and what you can do depends on how customers buy from you. This is what launch-day walkthroughs and our own claims showed, and your account may offer more. Products and agents unlock after the ID check and are rolling out gradually.

Businesses that visit customers
Contractors, home services, mobile businesses. We claimed existing gutter, excavating and tree service listings on launch day, and Business Hub offered to create new ones.
OpenAI says 1.2 billion people use ChatGPT each week, and when a business shows up in an answer, people can click through to its profile. Until Business Hub, ChatGPT described you from whatever it found online, and you had no official way to correct it or count how often it brought you up.
A claimed profile gives you both. It won't move you up on its own. OpenAI's product page says claiming does not guarantee higher placement or sales. Getting recommended still comes from your website, what other sites say about you, and letting OpenAI's search crawler read your pages. That's the rest of our AI search work.
What we won't do
Promise a placement in ChatGPT answers
Claim a business you haven’t authorized us to represent
Write agent answers your website doesn’t back up
Add reviews, ratings or credentials you don’t have
OpenAI reviews profiles and Business Agents and can pause or remove them. Its agent rules ban invented prices, reviews and guarantees.
Pricing
How much does ChatGPT business profile setup cost?
The profile is part of our AI search engagement, because what ChatGPT says about you depends on your website as much as the profile. Two published rates, no minimum contract. If you only want the profile claimed and set up, we scope that on the call.

What does ChatGPT business profile management include?
We set up your claim in OpenAI’s Business Hub, walk you through verification, and fill in the profile: description, category, website, logo and cover photo. We make your website’s services, service areas, hours and about page match it, track ChatGPT visits and leads in your analytics, read Business Hub Insights every month and write pages for the topics customers ask about.
How much does ChatGPT business profile setup cost?
ChatGPT profile work is part of our AI search engagement: $2,500/mo during the launch months, then from $1,000/mo (about $1,500/mo in competitive industries), with no minimum contract. OpenAI hasn’t published a fee for claiming a business. If you only want the profile claimed and set up, we scope that on a call.
Can you claim my business in ChatGPT without me?
Almost. We can do the search, the verification method and the profile, and Business Hub lets you give an agency access with its own ChatGPT account. OpenAI’s identity check through Persona has to be done by the owner or an authorized representative with a government ID and the business registration details, so plan on doing that step yourself.
Will a claimed profile get my business recommended more in ChatGPT?
OpenAI says claiming does not guarantee higher placement or sales, and we won’t promise it either. Claiming makes your details accurate and gives you data. Recommendations depend on your website, what other sites say about you, and whether OpenAI’s search crawler can read your pages, which is the rest of our AI search work.
My business visits customers. Can I get a ChatGPT profile yet?
Yes, from a US account. If ChatGPT already has a listing for you, it can be claimed. We claimed existing listings for gutter, excavating and tree service businesses on launch day, verified by DNS and approved the same day. If yours doesn’t show up, Business Hub offers to create it, verified by an email or text code.
Who owns the ChatGPT business profile?
You do. The claim sits on your ChatGPT account as the owner, and we work as a teammate you can remove at any time. The same goes for your website, analytics and Search Console.
Who does the work
Who sets up your ChatGPT profile?
Our team does the work from our office in Roseville, with founder Mark Shvaya overseeing the strategy. Business Hub is new, so the proof below is the website and SEO work behind it: real Google Search Console clicks for sites we built. Sacramento Gutter Guard went from 60 to 776 clicks over the same 12 weeks a year apart.
