I asked a recent lead how they found me. You will never guess where...
(And this was a first for me!)
They asked ChatGPT for the 'best freelance brand designers'.

Unflockin' believable! (And of course, #AI is never wrong 😅)
Right beside Chris Do, David Airey, Debbie Millman and more.

Is this an untapped resource?
I went straight to the source and asked:
"How was this list compiled? How to rank as #1 on ChatGPT?"
Ranking Considerations for ChatGPT
The list was compiled based on several factors, including:
1. Recognition and Influence: Designers who are well-known in the industry, have received awards, or have authored influential books and articles.
2. Client Portfolio: The prestige and diversity of clients they have worked with, including high-profile brands and organizations.
3. Notable Work: Specific projects or logos that have achieved widespread recognition and acclaim, demonstrating their skill and creativity.
4. Industry Contributions: Contributions to the design community through teaching, speaking, writing, or other forms of thought leadership.
5. Consistency and Longevity: A track record of producing high-quality work over an extended period.

I asked how to rank as #1 for this phrase and here's what it said:
