Make the page AI reads say plainly what Georgia State University does for founders

Move 1 of 1 for Georgia State University's team. Who: Whoever edits the website. Time: 45 min.

What to do

  1. Open https://eni.gsu.edu/launchgsu. AI cites it more than any other page on your site.
  2. Near the top, say in plain sentences who it is for, what a founder or a company gets from you, and how to reach the right person.
  3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Has entrepreneurship coursework but no confirmed defined startup funding amount.” If that is right, say it yourself. If it is wrong, correct it in one sentence on this page.
  4. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

Why it helps

People's questions bring up Georgia State University, and AI doesn't always recommend it. When they pass it over, they usually give a reason, and it is most often about fit or terms.

A clear page means AI describes you the way you would, and sends people to the right door.

The questions this is for

  • Which Atlanta university programs give student startups funding, and how much?
  • I'm not a student. Can I take entrepreneurship classes or use a university incubator in Atlanta?
  • Which Atlanta universities run hackathons or pitch competitions that are open to the public?
  • I graduated from an Atlanta university five years ago. Can alumni still use its startup programs?

What the engines say now

“I didn't find a current official GSU source promising a defined amount of startup capital to enrolled founders, so I wouldn't count it as funded”

ChatGPT

“Similarly, LaunchGSU requires current Georgia State enrollment for incubator membership.”

ChatGPT

“Emory and Georgia State events found in this search are generally restricted to their own enrolled students”

Perplexity

How you'll know it worked

In December we ask the same questions again. On these questions, watch whether the engines describe Georgia State University the way this page does.
