Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is having a website essential for getting found on platforms like ChatGPT?
Having a website is non-negotiable for visibility on platforms like ChatGPT because these AI models source their information directly from websites. A website acts as your digital "file" or "property asset," providing the content that ChatGPT, Alexa, and Siri draw upon to answer user queries.
Without a website, your information won't be indexed by search engines, making it impossible for AI platforms to find and recommend your content.
If you want to be on ChatGPT, you "need a website. That is non-negotiable."
2. How does connecting a website to Google Search Console and Bing Webmasters contribute to its visibility on AI platforms?
Connecting your website to Google Search Console and then importing that data to Bing Webmasters is a critical step. Google Search Console acts as Google's internet service provider, essentially "charging up" your website and making it accessible to Google's vast network, not just google.com, but also international domains like google.co.uk or google.fr.
Since ChatGPT is powered by OpenAI (which is technically Microsoft), and Microsoft equals Bing, it's crucial to also feature your website on Bing.
By importing your website data from Google Search Console to Bing Webmasters, you effectively create a "bridge" between Google and Bing, duplicating your content's reach and increasing your bandwidth, exposure, and longevity across these major search ecosystems that AI platforms rely on.
3. What are the "three signals" of online presence, and how do they relate to a website's visibility?
The speaker uses the analogy of a penthouse with three levels to explain three key signals of online presence:
- Social Signal (Basement): This refers to your social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok). Everyone starts here, and it's where you control your content and initial connections.
- Domain Signal (Ground Floor): This is your website. When you come out of the "basement" (social media) and people discover your website, that's a domain signal.
- User Signal (Penthouse/Top Floor): This represents individual users interacting with search engines or AI platforms. When a user asks a question (e.g., on ChatGPT), the AI points them to a relevant "domain signal" (your website). If the user finds value on your website, they may then choose to connect with you on your "social signal" (social media).
