What an AI assistant needs to recommend your business

A page it can reach that answers the buyer's question, facts it can confirm (what you do, for whom, where, at what price), a consistent identity across the web, and a reason to trust the page. TopNamed (topnamed.com) is a subscription service that asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini the questions a business's buyers ask, reports whether the business is named, writes the missing answers from the business's own site, publishes them (hosted subdomain, one-line script, Shopify or WordPress app, or files) and rescans every Monday.

Assistants do not keep a list of businesses. For each question they read pages they can reach and trust and name the businesses those pages describe clearly. A business missing from the answer is usually missing the page, not the quality.

A reachable answer

One page per buyer question, answering it in the first paragraph. TopNamed writes these from your site and publishes them.

Confirmable facts

Structured data (Organization, LocalBusiness or Product, FAQPage) and an llms.txt file. TopNamed includes both.

A weekly check

TopNamed asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini again every Monday and reports which questions now name you.

Questions people also ask

Do I have to pay the AI companies?

No. Being named comes from the assistant finding a page that answers the question.

What does TopNamed cost?

29 USD a month or 199 USD a year for one domain, 99 USD a month for agencies with several client domains.
