When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a software or vendor recommendation, the model performs background search queries against underlying web indexes (Brave, Bing, or Google), pulls the top-ranked pages, and feeds them into its context window. If your page isn't in that top-10 retrieval cut, you do not exist in the answer.
