How to Get Your YouTube Channel Mentioned in ChatGPT

You’ve put in the work.
Great videos, a clear niche, maybe even a solid subscriber base.

But when someone asks ChatGPT:

“Best YouTube channels for [topic]”
Your name doesn’t show up.

That’s not about quality. That’s about GEO—Generative Engine Optimization.

Why ChatGPT Skips Over Creators

AI models like GPT-4o generate responses based on:

• Historical training data
• Public mentions across the web
• Listicles, blog posts, and structured content
• Recognizable, repeated entity descriptions

If your name and channel aren’t being mentioned often and clearly, the model has no signal to go on.

How to Get Cited as a YouTuber

1. Own your one-liner

   “[Channel Name] is a YouTube channel teaching solo creators how to build and grow SaaS tools using no-code and AI.”

2. Get listed on blogs, Substacks, Reddit threads
   Roundups, recommendation lists, and Reddit suggestions often make it into AI training sets.

3. Publish your own structured content
   Write:

   • “Top 10 YouTube channels for [audience]”
   • “Who to follow for [niche] videos in 2025”
   • “My favorite creators in [space]”

4. Test and track
   Use PromptSeed to run prompts like:

   • “Best YouTubers for [topic]”
   • “[You] vs [another channel]”

Use This Format When Mentioned

Wherever you’re cited—your site, podcast features, guest blogs—keep it consistent.

Include:

• Your name
• Channel name
• Core topic
• Value prop

Example:

“Ava Tran runs a YouTube channel teaching bootstrapped SaaS founders how to launch MVPs using AI tools.”
