Summary of "The FASTEST Way to Get Your Site Indexed in Chat GPT Search"
The video provides a tutorial on how to get your website indexed by the new ChatGPT Search, based on official guidance from OpenAI. Key points include:
- OpenAI's Recommendation: Update your website’s
robots.txtfile to allow the OpenAI Search Bot to crawl your site. This is necessary for your site to be indexed in ChatGPT Search. - User Agent Strings: OpenAI provides specific user agent strings for their bots. The primary one for ChatGPT Search is the "oi Search bot," which should be explicitly allowed in the
robots.txtfile. - Privacy Controls: Website owners can disallow other OpenAI bots from using their content for training purposes by blocking them in the
robots.txtfile. - Creating/Editing robots.txt:
- The
robots.txtfile is a simple text file placed at the root of your website directory. - It can be created or edited using any text editor.
- For WordPress users, SEO plugins like Yoast provide an easy interface to edit the
robots.txtfile directly from the backend.

- Create or edit the existing
robots.txtfile. - Add the OpenAI Search Bot user agent string with an “Allow” directive.

- Indexing Delay: OpenAI notes it may take up to 24 hours after updating the
robots.txtfile for their systems to recognize the changes. - Future Changes: The process and documentation may evolve as ChatGPT Search is still very new.
