How to submit to AI Search

3
Pay to submit

Gotchas
Nothing on the site links to /submit, and the price is stated only on that page, so you find the door and the $299 toll at the same moment.
Only the first ~100 characters of the 2,000-character description appear in search results, so everything past the opening sentence is read only by someone already on your page.
Paying gets the listing up, but the "promote your listing to the top of search results" the form mentions is a second charge quoted after you have already paid the first.
