What the platform says
- OpenAI says any public website can appear in ChatGPT Search.
- To help content be discovered, surfaced and cited with snippets, publishers should not block OAI-SearchBot.
- Crawler access for search discovery is a separate control from whether a publisher permits model-training crawling.
What this does not establish
- Allowing OAI-SearchBot does not guarantee that a page will be cited for a particular question.
- A special OpenAI-specific schema is not stated as a requirement for ordinary public web discovery.
- Being accessible to search does not mean every page should be written for an AI system instead of for people.
Ozmov practice
We keep public, indexable pages technically accessible to search crawlers, use clear headings and stable URLs, and create content worth citing because it answers real questions with original context.
This page paraphrases the linked primary source and separates that published guidance from Ozmov's practical interpretation. We do not treat undocumented industry claims as platform rules.
