As ChatGPT Search expands, optimizing websites for its indexing is crucial for digital visibility. The system combines Bing's index with OpenAI's technology, using three distinct crawlers: OAI-SearchBot for search, ChatGPT-User for real-time requests, and GPTBot for AI training. Proper robots.txt configuration is essential, allowing OAI-SearchBot while managing other crawlers separately. Content attribution features include source citations and interactive maps. Key factors for visibility include content freshness and technical health, ensuring accessibility across search engines and AI platforms.

Google's John Mueller advises website owners to block Googlebot from indexing AI chatbot-generated content if they don't want it to be seen as part of their site. While not explicitly stating that it's a bad thing, Mueller suggests using methods like a robotted iframe, a robotted JavaScript file/resource, or data-nosnippet to prevent Google from discovering, crawling, and indexing the AI chatbot output. This recommendation is made for cases where the quality of the AI-generated content may not be on par with the rest of the site's content.
