I asked ChatGPT to recommend a service in my city, and it confidently recommended a business that closed two years ago, is this sort of thing common?

I run a small consulting firm, and was curious about how ChatGPT decides what businesses to recommend locally, so I tested it extensively, and my results were wild. It recommended a competitor that I know closed down a few years ago, it recommended another one that has a ton of negative reviews on trustpilot. Meanwhile my firm (which has been operating for eight years with strong reviews might I add) didn't come up once. What determines whether you show up or not on chat? I want to know to help get my firm showing up. submitted by /u/Longjumping_Youth454 [link] [comments]
