What does ChatGPT search before it answers?
One question turns into several hidden web searches. ChatGPT adds words the person never typed. In our Dubai tests the most common were lead, partner, WhatsApp, pricing, official, monthly and 2026. A page that states its prices, terms and year plainly matches more of those searches.
Does Reddit matter for ChatGPT?
In our tests 32% of the pages ChatGPT opened were Reddit threads, and it cited none of them. Reddit shapes the answer without showing as a source. The only safe way in is real answers from the owner's own account. We never use fake accounts or paid posts.
Does llms.txt or schema get you into ChatGPT?
They help ChatGPT read your site, but neither one makes it name you. What moved our results was plain facts on the page, real numbers with dates, a price list as a PDF, and proof ChatGPT can check elsewhere, such as reviews and listings.
