How Do I Rank on ChatGPT?The Interactive
6.5-Step Playbook

You are my AI search expert. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS, e.g. plumbing company] in [CITY, STATE].

Here is the page I want AI to cite:
[PASTE THE FULL TEXT OF THE PAGE]

The question my customer types is: "[THE QUESTION, e.g. how much does it cost to replace a water heater in Jacksonville]"

Rewrite the first 50 words of this page so the very first sentence answers that exact question.

Rules:
- Sentence one is the answer. No warm up. No "welcome to our site".
- Put a real number in it. A price, a time, a year count. Use only numbers I gave you. Do not make one up.
- Then write a 2 sentence Quick Answer block that goes right under my headline. It has to make sense on its own with nothing around it.
- 5th grade reading level. Short sentences. Second person.

Give me the new first 50 words, the Quick Answer block, and one line telling me what you changed and why.

You are my local listings auditor. Here is my business written the way I want it everywhere:

Name: [EXACT BUSINESS NAME AS IT SHOULD APPEAR]
Address: [STREET, CITY, STATE, ZIP]
Phone: [PHONE NUMBER]
Website: [WEBSITE URL]

Here is how it reads on my listings right now. Paste each one word for word:
Google Business Profile: [PASTE]
Yelp: [PASTE]
Facebook: [PASTE]
Better Business Bureau: [PASTE]
Anywhere else I am listed: [PASTE]

Do this:
1. Pick one master version of my name, address, and phone. Write it out once. That is the only version I will ever use again.
2. Give me a table. One row per listing. What it says now, what it should say, and MATCH or FIX.
3. Give me the exact text to paste into every listing marked FIX.
4. Name 15 more places a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [CITY, STATE] should be listed. Put the ones I am most likely missing at the top.

Plain words. Short sentences. Do not add facts I did not give you.

You are my outreach writer. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [CITY, STATE].

About me:
Years in business: [NUMBER]
Google reviews: [NUMBER] at [STAR RATING] stars
What makes me worth listing: [YOUR REAL PROOF, e.g. same day service, licensed and insured, we call back within an hour]

AI engines lean on "Best [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [CITY]" style articles when they answer questions. I want to be in those articles.

Do this:
1. Name 15 kinds of sites that publish those lists for my city. Local news sites, city blogs, trade groups, the chamber, review sites, industry directories. For each one, tell me how they usually decide who goes on the list.
2. Rank all 15. Easiest for me to land goes at the top.
3. Write one outreach email I can send. Under 150 words. Say who I am, why I belong on the list, and hand them my proof. No begging. No hype.
4. Write 3 subject lines for that email.

Use only the facts I gave you. Do not invent an award, a number, or a customer story.

You are my structured data developer. Write the JSON-LD schema for my website.

Business name: [EXACT BUSINESS NAME]
Trade: [e.g. Plumber, Roofer, Dentist, Auto Repair]
Address: [STREET, CITY, STATE, ZIP]
Phone: [PHONE NUMBER]
Website: [WEBSITE URL]
Hours: [YOUR HOURS]
Areas I serve: [CITIES AND ZIP CODES]
Services: [YOUR 3 TO 5 SERVICES]
Reviews: [NUMBER] reviews at [STAR RATING] stars on [WHERE]
Price range: [$ TO $$$$]

Give me three blocks, ready to paste:
1. LocalBusiness schema. Use the most exact schema type for my trade, not the generic one.
2. FAQPage schema with the 6 questions my customers really ask, written the way they type them. Each answer is 2 to 4 sentences.
3. Review or AggregateRating schema built only from the review numbers above.

Rules:
- Use only the facts I gave you. Invent nothing.
- Every FAQ answer has to be true on its own with no other context around it.
- Tell me exactly where in my HTML each block goes.
- Then give me the link to Google's Rich Results Test and tell me what a passing result looks like.

You are my content writer. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [CITY, STATE].

My customer is [DESCRIBE ONE REAL PERSON WHO CALLS YOU, e.g. a homeowner whose AC quit in July].

AI engines lift list style pages more than any other format. I want to publish those.

Do this:
1. Give me 10 list post titles my customer would type into Google or ask an AI. Each one is a number plus a real problem. Shape it like "7 Signs Your [THING] Is About To Fail".
2. Pick the strongest title and write the whole post.

Rules for the post:
- Open with a 2 sentence answer to the question in the title. That block has to stand on its own.
- Then the numbered list. Each item gets a bold one line point, then 2 to 3 short sentences.
- One idea per sentence. 5th grade reading level. Second person. Use contractions.
- Do not invent a statistic, a study, or a customer story. If you need a number I did not give you, leave a [BRACKET] and I will fill it.
- End with 5 questions my customer asks and a short answer for each.

You are my content editor. Here is a page on my site that has not been touched in a long time:

[PASTE THE FULL PAGE TEXT]

It was last updated [MONTH AND YEAR]. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] in [CITY, STATE].

Refresh it so it reads like I wrote it this month.

Do this:
1. List every line that is out of date, wrong now, or just sounds old. Say why for each one.
2. Rewrite those lines.
3. Add one new section about something my customer cares about now that is not on the page yet.
4. Tighten the opening so the first sentence answers the page's question straight out.
5. Write me an "Updated [MONTH YEAR]" line and tell me where to put it.
6. Give me the full rewritten page at the end.

Rules:
- Do not invent a statistic, a study, or a customer result. Leave a [BRACKET] if you need one from me.
- Keep my prices, my hours, and my phone number exactly as they are.
- 5th grade reading level. Short sentences. Second person.
