How does Joe know if ChatGPT recommends me?

He asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini — with web search on, like the real apps — the questions your customers ask, and checks whether you're named or linked, and who is recommended instead.

Can Joe change my website?

Yes, if your website's code is on GitHub. He proposes each change, you see it in the chat, and nothing goes live until you approve it. Otherwise he writes the fix for you to copy.

How long until I'm recommended by AI?

Website fixes take days. Being recommended usually takes months, because AI assistants also look at what other sites say about you — which is why Joe also finds places for you to be listed.

Getting started with SEO Joe: get found on Google and recommended by AI

Step by step: Joe checks your website, asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini your customers' questions, makes a plan and does the fixes.

My AI CrewBob, Joe & Annie

SEO Joe makes sure people find you — on Google and in the answers of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. This guide shows what happens in your first session and how to keep improving.

1. Sign up and give Joe your website

Go to seo-joe.com, sign up, name your business, choose the language your customers search in, and paste your website. Joe checks it right away.

2. The website check

Joe looks at 21 things: page titles and descriptions, headings, speed, mobile, sitemap, structured data, an FAQ, contact details — and whether AI crawlers are allowed to read your site at all. You get a score out of 100 and the problems that matter most.

3. The AI check

Joe suggests 10–20 questions real customers would ask an AI — like “best bookkeeper for small companies in Malmö” — without your name in them. Edit them if you like. Then he asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini every question and shows a table: named, linked or not mentioned — and who they recommend instead.

4. The plan

From both checks, Joe makes a short plan in phases — basics first, then content that answers your customers' questions, then getting mentioned on other sites. His panel shows what's next up; tap “Let's do it”.

5. Joe does the work

Website fixes: with GitHub connected, Joe makes the change and shows it in the chat; you approve and it goes live. Without GitHub he writes it for you to copy.
Backlinks: Joe researches real places to get listed — starting with the sites the AIs cited for your competitors — and writes the listing text or e-mail for each.
Content: FAQs, page texts and articles that answer the questions you're not named for yet.

6. Check again

Ask Joe to re-run the checks after your fixes, and every month after that. His panel shows your website score and how often the AIs name you — and the change since last time.
