How to get your products recommended in ChatGPT
A practical checklist for fashion and beauty brands who want ChatGPT and other AI assistants to recommend their products by name.
TL;DR: To get recommended in ChatGPT, your products need to be (1) crawlable, (2) richly described with the attributes shoppers ask about, and (3) structured so a model can match them to a specific person and occasion. Here is the checklist.
Why ChatGPT recommends some brands and not others
When a shopper asks an assistant “what’s a good linen blazer for a warm-toned woman with a pear shape?”, the model looks for products it can confidently match to those constraints. If your product data only says “Linen Blazer, $189”, there is nothing to match. If it says “relaxed linen blazer, warm ivory, structured shoulder, balances a pear silhouette,” you become recommendable.
The checklist
1. Make your catalog accessible
- Ensure product and content pages are crawlable (no blanket
noindex, render content server-side). - Keep a clean sitemap and fast pages.
2. Describe products the way shoppers ask
Cover the attributes that show up in real prompts:
- Occasion: wedding guest, office, vacation
- Body type & fit: petite, tall, pear, structured vs. relaxed
- Color season: warm/cool, soft/bright
- Fabric & care: linen, silk, machine-washable
3. Add structured data
Use clean Product schema and consistent attributes so engines can parse, compare, and cite your items.
4. Answer the question, not just the keyword
Publish content that directly answers buying questions, and keep answers concise and extractable. Answer engines lift clear, self-contained statements.
5. Measure your AI visibility
Track how often you appear in AI answers for your category, and where competitors beat you.
