How it works
From first message to verified profile. You confirm ownership. We do the rest.
Free eligibility check
Send us your business name and website. We test whether OpenAI lets your type of business claim a profile today.
We do thisWe prepare your profile
Description, category, logo, cover photo, policies and, for stores, the product feed. Written and formatted to OpenAI's requirements.
We do thisYou confirm ownership
A code to your business phone or email, or one record on your domain. Then a short photo ID check that OpenAI asks every owner to pass.
You, a few minutesSee it, then pay
OpenAI reviews the claim. When your profile shows as verified and you have opened it yourself, we send one $299 invoice.
Then you pay
Step 1. Free eligibility check
Business Hub is in beta, and OpenAI opens it to different kinds of business in stages. We look up your business, test the claim flow for your category and location, and tell you plainly whether it can be claimed now. If it cannot, we put you on our list and contact you when it opens. You pay nothing either way.
Step 2. We prepare your profile
You send your logo, a cover photo if you have one, and the basics about your business. We write the description, choose the category, and draft the delivery and return policies Business Hub asks for. For online stores we build the product feed in the format OpenAI accepts, or connect your Shopify catalog. You approve every word before it is submitted.
Step 3. You confirm ownership
OpenAI needs proof that the claim comes from the real owner. Depending on your business it offers a code by text or automated call to your listed phone number, a code to your business email, a TXT record on your website's domain, or a Shopify connection. We tell you which one applies and stay on the phone if you like.
OpenAI then asks the owner or an authorized representative to pass a photo ID check. You do this yourself, directly with OpenAI. We never see or handle your ID.
Your account, your claim. The profile is created in your own ChatGPT account, which can be a free one. You invite us as a collaborator and can remove us at any time.
Step 4. See it, then pay
OpenAI reviews the application, which takes a few days. When the status turns to verified, we send you a link. Open Business Hub, look at your profile, and only then do we send the $299 invoice.
