If your product isn’t on this list
- Check the cited pages. Open each one above and see whether you’re listed, and whether your price and plans are right.
- Publish the comparison yourself. A page on your site for CRM for startups, with a straight answer at the top, gives AI tools something of yours to read.
- Make your site readable. Run the free AEO audit to check that AI crawlers can get in.
- Measure it more than once. One answer is a snapshot. Track this question across engines each week. How to rank in ChatGPT goes through the full process.
