What OpenAI launched on 10 November 2026
Business Hub is a new self-service area in ChatGPT, now in beta. It gives eligible businesses three things they didn’t have before.
Claim and verify
Prove the business is yours and take control of how it is described in ChatGPT, instead of leaving it to whatever the model has picked up.
Keep details correct
Once verified, you can update key information, and eligible retailers can add product feeds with pricing and availability.
See how people find you
View aggregated numbers on mentions, website clicks and the topics where your site is cited. Small numbers are hidden by privacy thresholds.
Business Hub is open to eligible businesses wherever ChatGPT is available. Business Agents, where a company chats with customers inside ChatGPT, are limited to eligible US ecommerce and online service businesses at launch.

What we will not promise
- A guaranteed ranking or a fixed number of recommendations. OpenAI has not said that claiming a profile changes how often a business is recommended.

- Business Agents in the UAE. They are US-only for now. We will tell you as soon as that changes.
What you can count on
- Plain answers on eligibility before you spend anything.
- Your approval on all content before it goes live.
- Honest reporting, including when the numbers are small.

Questions
Is this run by OpenAI?
No. This is an independent service from elv8, an advisory and marketing firm in Abu Dhabi. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI.
Can a UAE business claim a profile?
OpenAI says eligible businesses located where ChatGPT is available can claim through Business Hub, subject to its verification. Our free check tells you where you stand.
Will this make ChatGPT recommend us more?
We can’t promise that, and nobody honestly can yet. What it does give you is control over the information, and first-party numbers on mentions and clicks.
Do you need our passwords?
We aim to work through authorised access rather than shared passwords. The exact options depend on what OpenAI supports for agencies, and we will explain them before you commit.
Does this replace SEO?
No. Your website, Google profile and listings still feed how AI tools describe you. We treat them as one connected job.
