Want your business to show up in ChatGPT answers? Or be quoted by Google’s AI Overviews and Perplexity? Here’s the secret: AI tools don’t just pull from websites—they pull from the places people publish content.

And the best part? Many of those places are free.

This article highlights six free platforms where you can post your content so AI finds it, reads it, and shares it—with your name and business attached.

Why Where You Post Matters

Think of AI tools as researchers. They’re constantly scanning the internet, looking for clear, credible answers to include in their responses.

They don’t just read your website—they also pull from:

• Public blogs

• Community forums

• Industry directories

• Educational hubs

If your voice is in those places, AI has more opportunities to quote you.
