Learn what OpenAI means in modern search and SEO.
The AI research company behind GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the DALL-E image generation models that have defined the modern generative AI era.
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company founded in 2015, known for creating the GPT series of large language models, the ChatGPT conversational interface, DALL-E image generation, and Sora video generation. GPT-4 and its successors are among the most capable and widely deployed AI models in the world, powering tools used by hundreds of millions of users daily.
OpenAI's Role in AI Search
ChatGPT's built-in web search (powered by Bing) allows users to query the web and receive AI-synthesised responses with source citations. OpenAI's SearchGPT and subsequent search-integrated features represent a direct challenge to Google's search dominance. Brands appearing in ChatGPT's cited sources gain visibility with a rapidly growing audience of AI-native searchers who may never visit a traditional SERP.
Optimising for ChatGPT Citation
ChatGPT's web search pulls from Bing's index. Sites that rank well in Bing organic search and have strong structured data are more likely to be cited in ChatGPT responses. Microsoft's Bing Webmaster Tools, Bing-specific sitemaps, and ensuring Bingbot can crawl and index content are practical steps for improving visibility in OpenAI's search-integrated features.
