A Greek business appears in AI search — ChatGPT, Google's AI answers, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok — by being crawlable, structured, quotable, and corroborated. Generative engines cite roughly three to seven sources per answer; the work is earning a place in that short list.
Let the AI crawlers in
Check that your robots.txt does not block GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended. Add an llms.txt file that states plainly what your business is and links your key pages.
Make your identity unambiguous
Structured data (Organization, LocalBusiness, Person for the owner, FAQ, Service) tells an engine what you are, where, and who runs you — as facts, not guesses. A consistent name, address, and phone across your site, your Google profile, and directories reinforces it.
Write content an engine can quote
- Put a short, direct answer immediately under a question heading.
- State facts plainly: prices as ranges, timelines in weeks, areas served by name.
- Neutral tone, no marketing padding — models lift sentences they can repeat without hedging.
- Original data (your pricing, your process, local specifics) gets cited disproportionately.
Get corroborated
Engines trust what several independent sources agree on. Your Google Business Profile, directory listings, review sites, and any press or forum mentions should tell the same story as your website.
Measure it
Once a month, ask each assistant the questions a customer would — "web designer in Corfu", "e-shop cost Greece" — and note whether you are mentioned and what is cited. That is your baseline.
Siren Web Studio builds this groundwork — structured data, llms.txt, quotable page structure — into every site. See how.
