OpenAI Business Hub only counts ChatGPT 'mentions' when the website is linked, not brand name alone

SEO expert Lily Ray got early access to OpenAI's ChatGPT Business Hub and flagged a key metric nuance: for online businesses, a "mention" only counts when ChatGPT references the business's website — a brand name alone doesn't count, likely to disambiguate names shared with other entities. Local businesses count a mention whenever ChatGPT shows their location, even without a click.

Her live data: 26 mentions drove 8 website clicks over 28 days — a 30.8% CTR. Linked mentions tend to appear in brand-recommendation contexts, so clicks are more qualified. Per OpenAI's docs, businesses receive no individual prompts or user conversations.
