CitedReady

Get your business found inside ChatGPT.

A free audit shows how you appear today. Then we help you claim your ChatGPT business profile, fill in the details customers see, and — if you're eligible — launch a Business Agent. Businesses in ChatGPT is in beta. CitedReady is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI.

ChatGPT is already talking about businesses like yours.

Customers now ask ChatGPT who to buy from, what a store's return policy is, and how two brands compare. OpenAI may already show a listing for your business, whether or not you've claimed it.If that profile is unclaimed or incomplete, people can still see it — just without a verified badge, and often with missing or outdated details. Competitors who have claimed their profile, filled in their information, and connected a product feed are easier to trust and easier to recommend.We don't promise placement, a verified badge by a certain date, or that ChatGPT will recommend you. The first step is simply to see what's showing now.

We get you set up in Business Hub — and keep you current.

CitedReady helps local businesses and online retailers use OpenAI's Businesses in ChatGPT tools:• Claim and complete your profile in Business Hub, including description, category, logo, cover photo, website, and delivery and return policies.• Connect a product feed for retailers, kept fresh with a daily snapshot — not a live, real-time inventory feed.• Build a Business Agent for eligible US ecommerce and online-service businesses: write the instructions, test real customer questions, fix gaps, and publish only when you're ready.• Maintain the profile and feed with updates, retests, and a monthly insights report.You stay the owner. You sign in with your own ChatGPT account, complete identity verification yourself, and add us as your agency. We never claim your business under our account, and we never use or share your login.

Free audit

We ask ChatGPT the kinds of questions a customer would ask, open your business profile, and screenshot what's missing or wrong. You get a short report: the gaps, what we'd fix, and which of the paid steps actually apply to you.

Profile setup — $297–497

You claim the business with your own ChatGPT account. We guide you through verification and the Persona identity check on a call — you complete that check yourself. We then fill every documented profile field: description, category, logo, cover, website, and delivery and return policies. Retailers also get a product feed set up for a daily refresh.OpenAI reviews every change before it goes live, and review time varies. A published profile cannot later be unpublished or hidden, so we get your sign-off before anything is published.

Business Agent build — $1,500–3,000

For eligible US ecommerce and online-service businesses with a website, after OpenAI's category review. We clean up the information the agent will use, write its instructions, test 30–50 real questions, fix what breaks, and publish only when the answers are solid.A Business Agent cannot take orders, complete a purchase or booking, or look up an existing order. It can answer from the information you provide. Verification alone does not guarantee that OpenAI will approve an agent.

Maintenance — $300–500/month

Product, price, and policy updates, regular retests, and a monthly report from Business Hub insights (the past 28 days of mentions, website clicks, and discovery topics).

Three steps. You stay in control.

1. Get the free audit.
Tell us your business and website. We check how ChatGPT presents you, capture the gaps, and recommend the right next step. No obligation.2. You verify, then you add us.
You claim the listing in Business Hub with your own ChatGPT account. You complete the Persona identity check yourself — we never do a client's ID verification for them. Then you add CitedReady as your agency, using our own ChatGPT accounts. Logins are never shared.3. We complete, test, and maintain.
We fill the profile, connect a daily product feed if you sell products, and, if you're eligible, build and test a Business Agent. You approve before we publish. After that, maintenance keeps the details current and sends you a monthly insights report.

FAQ

Is this an official OpenAI program? Are you partners?
No. Businesses in ChatGPT is OpenAI's product. CitedReady is an independent consultancy. We are not affiliated with, partnered with, or endorsed by OpenAI.Is this still in beta?
Yes. Businesses in ChatGPT launched in beta on November 10, 2026. Features, eligibility, and availability can change.Who can use this?
Eligibility depends on location, business type, and OpenAI's verification and integrity checks. Claiming is initially available to eligible businesses with a website. Local stores and restaurants can currently claim only an existing US listing. Eligible online businesses may be able to add a new listing.Who can get a Business Agent?
Business Agents are US-only, for ecommerce and online-service businesses that have a website and meet OpenAI's industry requirements. OpenAI may review or defer a category, and verification alone does not guarantee agent eligibility. OpenAI has not published a public list of eligible or ineligible categories.Do I have to do the identity check myself?
Yes. Persona identity verification is required before you can publish profile edits, connect a product feed, view insights, or create an agent. It may ask for a government-issued ID, business registration, and proof that you're authorized to represent the business. The business owner (or an authorized representative) completes that check in their own ChatGPT account. We guide the call. We do not do it for you, and we do not claim the business under our account.

How do you get access to my Business Hub?
The admin who claimed the business adds us as their agency in Business Hub and grants access to our own ChatGPT accounts. We never ask you to share a password or forward a personal claim invitation.Will my product prices and stock stay live in ChatGPT?
No. A product feed is a snapshot, not a live inventory connection. OpenAI recommends a full refresh at least once a day. Your website still confirms the current offer at purchase. Shopify merchants' eligible products may already appear in ChatGPT through Shopify Catalog.Can a Business Agent take orders or book appointments?
No. Agents cannot complete purchases, bookings, or order lookups. OpenAI is moving purchases to the merchant's own website or app. OpenAI has not published pricing for claiming a profile or building an agent.How long does OpenAI's review take?
OpenAI says review time varies. We will not promise a same-day badge, a placement, or an approval date.Can I take my profile down later?
A published profile cannot be deleted, unpublished, or hidden. Unpublished drafts can still be deleted. That's why we wait for your sign-off before publishing.I'm outside the US, or I'm a local service business. Can you still help?
We can often still help with a claim and profile setup if you're eligible to claim. The Business Agent tier is not available yet for non-US businesses or for local businesses that aren't US ecommerce or online-service businesses.
