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.
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profile is unclaimed or incomplete, people can still see it — just without a verified badge, and often with missing or outdated details.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.
CitedReady helps local businesses and online retailers use OpenAI's Businesses in ChatGPT tools.
In Business Hub, including description, category, logo, cover photo, website, and delivery and return policies.
Kept fresh with a daily snapshot — not a live, real-time inventory feed.
For eligible US ecommerce and online-service businesses: write the instructions, test real customer questions, fix gaps, and publish only when you're ready.
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.
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.
Get your free ChatGPT auditYou 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 A published profile cannot later be unpublished or hidden, so we get your sign-off before anything is published.
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.
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).
We clean up your store, write better product pages, recover lost carts, and help shoppers find you on Google and in ChatGPT. Done for you, in plain English. You approve anything customer-facing before it goes live.
Broken menus and links, missing images, out-of-stock items still showing, messy collections, and checkout settings.
Clear, honest descriptions, titles, and meta tags written from your product details. You approve them first.
Abandoned-cart, browse, and welcome emails set up in the tool you already use, like Klaviyo or Shopify Email.
A store assistant that answers shipping, sizing, and order questions from your own policies, and hands off to you when it should.
Product feed and structured data cleaned up for Google Shopping, plus help claiming your ChatGPT business profile where you're eligible. No ranking promises.
One-time fix-up for stores with up to 50 products.
One-time fix-up for stores with up to 200 products.
One-time fix-up for stores with up to 500 products. Larger catalog? We'll quote it after the free check.
Monthly fixes and new product pages, cart-recovery and seasonal emails kept current, chatbot answers updated, Google and ChatGPT visibility checked, and a short monthly report.
Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
Case study: a Judaica e-commerce store I run. About $13.7K in sales a month and 42K products. I manage it day to day: product data, SEO, email, and fixing what breaks. The same checklist and tools I use there are what I use on your store.
No password needed: you add us as a Shopify staff or collaborator account and can remove it anytime. No one honest can guarantee more sales or a top Google spot; we fix what's holding the store back and show you exactly what changed. CitedReady is not affiliated with Shopify or OpenAI.

In the form, choose Shopify as your platform and tell us your biggest store headache. You'll get a free, plain-English list of the top fixes.
Tell us your business and website. We check how ChatGPT presents you, capture the gaps, and recommend the right next step. No obligation.
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.
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.
No. Businesses in ChatGPT is OpenAI's product. CitedReady is an independent consultancy. We are not affiliated with, partnered with, or endorsed by OpenAI.
Yes. Businesses in ChatGPT launched in beta on November 10, 2026. Features, eligibility, and availability can change.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Agents cannot complete purchases, bookings, or order lookups. OpenAI is moving purchases to the merchant's own website or app. There are no fees documented on purchases that start in ChatGPT. OpenAI has not published pricing for claiming a profile or building an agent.
OpenAI says review time varies. We will not promise a same-day badge, a placement, or an approval date.
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.
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.
Tell us a few details about your business. CitedReady will ask ChatGPT the kinds of questions a customer would ask, review any public ChatGPT business profile we can find, and email you a short report: the gaps, what we'd fix, and which paid step — if any — actually applies to you. No obligation.
