ChatGPT
ChatGPT is OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence assistant which uses advanced large language models for questions asked in plain language. Ask it about a local business and the answer comes from its training data or from what it finds on the web.
OpenAI's ChatGPT has no business directory, no claim process, and no profile page a business can edit, so there is nothing on ChatGPT to create or update the way you would on a directory. When ChatGPT answers a question about a business, it draws on trained knowledge or, if it searches, on whatever citation data is publicly available at that moment. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem and keeping it correct and matching everywhere it lives.
A few API calls keep the same business record, name, category, address, phone, website, and hours, identical across every citation on your plan, the data ChatGPT might encounter rather than a listing it hosts. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to every directory and map on your plan in one call.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours everywhere at once instead of editing each citation by hand.
- Track publish status and read each live listing URL to confirm the source data is correct.
What Listings API controls for ChatGPT
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources ChatGPT draws local business information from. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

Coverage for ChatGPT is part of the Enterprise plan.
ChatGPT + Listings API
Can I submit my business to ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT does not have a business directory, a claim flow, or a profile page. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. That is the data ChatGPT might read from when it searches, kept accurate and identical everywhere it appears.
How does ChatGPT know anything about a business?
ChatGPT answers from a mix of trained knowledge and, when its search feature is active, whatever it finds on the open web at that moment, including directories, maps, and other citations. It has no stored business profile of its own, so the quality of its answer depends on the data available elsewhere.
Can Listings API make ChatGPT show correct information about my business?
Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. Call updateLocation with the correct name, address, phone, or hours to push that change to every citation on your plan at once, closing the gaps between sources that lead to a wrong or outdated answer.
How do I publish a new business record with Listings API?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That single call submits the business data to key data aggregators and primary directories across every citation on your plan, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. ChatGPT has no listing of its own for that data to appear on.
Do I need an OpenAI account to use Listings API this way?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key and never register an account with OpenAI or sign in through ChatGPT. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with ChatGPT or OpenAI, so nothing about publishing to your citation network touches OpenAI's systems.
Does Listings API cover posts, review replies, or analytics tied to ChatGPT?
No, and no site in this part of the network does. Posts and review replies work only on Google and Facebook through Listings API, and analytics come only from Google, Bing, and Facebook. ChatGPT has no publishing surface for any of it.
Which Listings API plan covers this?
The Enterprise plan. There is no ChatGPT specific tier, because there is no ChatGPT listing to buy. What Enterprise covers is the citation network behind the answer: the directories, maps, and aggregators your locations publish to, kept consistent so the details any assistant encounters are the ones you wrote.
Which countries does ChatGPT support?
ChatGPT accepts listings in 14 countries: Albania, Algeria, Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam.
