ChatGPT: Fix Incorrect Pricing and Features in AI Responses

ChatGPT Context
Optimize your website to be discovered, cited, and recommended by ChatGPT when users ask for solutions in your category.
Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt: sites that block it are not shown in ChatGPT search answers (GPTBot only governs training)
Use clear, structured content with explicit definitions of what you do
Create comprehensive FAQ pages that answer common questions in your niche
Why This Problem Matters

OAI-SearchBot
Search / answers
Controls inclusion in ChatGPT search answers; sites that block it are not shown there.
GPTBot
Model training
Collects data for model training; blocking it does not remove you from ChatGPT search.
ChatGPT-User
User-requested fetch
Fetches a page when a user asks ChatGPT to; robots.txt rules may not apply.

User-agent: OAI-SearchBot
Allow: /Source: developers.openai.com
