ChatGPT Is Recommending Your Competitors (Here’s the Fix)

ChatGPT is already recommending businesses to your customers. This week, for the first time, you can claim your profile and fix what it says about you.

Every Friday on Business Growth Talks, I break down the 5 business stories you need to know if you run a business, in plain English, whether you're in London, Leeds or Los Angeles.

This week:
1. You can now claim your business on ChatGPT, and US businesses can launch their own AI sales agent
2. US prices jump again and a Fed rate rise in December now looks almost certain
3. Taylor Wimpey builds fewer homes as mortgage rates bite
4. America's hiring surprise: more than double the jobs expected
5. UK shoppers hold off for Black Friday, and online keeps growing
And finally... in dog news, the Doberman who may have saved a baby's life.

After every story: what it means for your business and what to do about it.
