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.txt file 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.txt file.
• Privacy Controls: Website owners can disallow other OpenAI bots from using their content for training purposes by blocking them in the robots.txt file.
• Creating/Editing robots.txt:
  • The robots.txt file 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.txt file directly from the backend.
• Step-by-Step Guide Using Yoast SEO Plugin:
  1. Navigate to Yoast > Tools > File Editor in WordPress.
  2. Create or edit the existing robots.txt file.
  3. Add the OpenAI Search Bot user agent string with an “Allow” directive.
  4. Save changes.
• Indexing Delay: OpenAI notes it may take up to 24 hours after updating the robots.txt file for their systems to recognize the changes.
• Future Changes: The process and documentation may evolve as ChatGPT Search is still very new.
• Additional Resources: The speaker references another video explaining how to use ChatGPT Search and OpenAI for research and statistics.
