ChatGPT now lets businesses claim their own profile and even run a dedicated agent that answers customer questions using only the info they provide. It is the Google My Business play, except the entire interaction stays inside the chat and the engagement numbers are finally visible.
Replying to @OpenAI
Use Business Hub to shape what customers see about your business in ChatGPT. Once verified, you can create a Business Agent, update your business details, and add product feeds with current pricing and availability. You can also see aggregated insights on mentions, website clicks, and common topics in conversations where your business is cited. We don’t share people’s conversations or Business Agent chats with businesses. Eligible businesses located wherever ChatGPT is available can get started by claiming their business in Business Hub. openai.com/business/business…

stale product feeds become a real problem with the agent answering only from what you provide

Yeah. The agent only works with what you give it. If the feed goes stale it just keeps quoting old prices and availability. Someone makes real money helping them stay updated.

So the storefront just moved inside a chat window. Wonder who polices the answers when they're wrong.

Businesses control what the agent knows, so wrong answers are on them to fix.

This is a huge shift from traditional business listings. The real opportunity is making sure businesses are not just discoverable by AI, but actually recommended by it. Are businesses ready to optimize for conversations, not just search rankings?

Most aren't ready yet. They still think in old search terms. The ones who keep their details current will get recommended in chats.
