Foursquare says it partners with OpenAI and ChatGPT search. OpenAI hasn't confirmed it on its own pages, so we treat it as Foursquare's claim. ### How long do changes take to show up? Foursquare says updates can take from a few days to several weeks to reach partner apps. ### Can a service-area business be listed? Foursquare asks partners' listings to have a complete street address, so it suits businesses with a public location best. ## Sources 1.
