How do I submit my website to ChatGPT?

You cannot submit a website to ChatGPT through a form; you make it findable by letting OpenAI's search crawler read it and by being present on the pages it draws from. The practical steps are to allow the crawler, get indexed in major search indexes, and be listed on the review sites and directories LinkPing tracks (410 as of 2026-10-20).

Updated Markdown version

  1. Allow OpenAI's crawlers. In robots.txt, do not block OAI-SearchBot (used for search results) or ChatGPT-User (used when a user asks ChatGPT to open a page). GPTBot is a separate crawler tied to model training, and you can decide on it independently.
  2. Get indexed in search engines. ChatGPT search draws on web search results, so being crawlable and indexed in Bing and Google matters. Submit your sitemap in Bing Webmaster Tools and use IndexNow for updates.
  3. Make pages readable without JavaScript. Many crawlers do not run scripts, so put your product name, what it does, pricing and FAQs in the HTML.
  4. Be mentioned elsewhere. Listings in directories, review sites and roundups give the model independent pages to cite. See the directories worth your time.
  5. Publish a clear, quotable description. One or two plain sentences that say what the product is and who it is for.

No setting guarantees an appearance in answers. You improve the odds by being easy to read, easy to verify and mentioned by sources the system trusts.

Frequently asked questions

Does ChatGPT crawl my site automatically?

Only if your robots.txt allows its crawlers and your pages are reachable. It does not need a manual submission.

Should I block GPTBot?

GPTBot concerns training data and is separate from search. Blocking it does not remove you from ChatGPT search, which uses OAI-SearchBot.
