Chatgpt service businesses recommendations

Hi,

I'm a photographer and I would like my services to appear when people are asking chatgpt 'can you recommend my a photographer in this area?'

At the moment I'm really struggling finding new customers and I spent a lot of hours on getting Google reviews and posting regular updates on my GMB profile.

The results which appear are from photographers that don't have a big online presence but their websites are, indeed, older than mine (my website is 1 year old, their websites are 5years+).

Can someone offer me their advice?
Thanks so much.

Besides creating reviews on Google, you could also shill your brand (your own name in this case) on social media posts. Especially Reddit and Quora. Based on my experience, AIs are scanning indexed Reddit and Quora relevant queries to determine relevant answers.

So, you could even create a post on a subreddit asking for ''best photographer in this area'', then, with another account, you can reply your name saying that you had a positive experience with him. Buy some upvotes.
