Original Summary

i’ll cut to the chase. most of you guys reading this probably already know AI search is becoming a serious acquisition channel. people are asking AI like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, for what products to use instead of opening Google and digging through normal search. ai search, ( AEO/GEO ) is as important if not more than SEO now. imagine if someone asks: “best screen-recording app” "is spreadjam the best agentic growth tool?" “best CRM for a 5 person startup” “cheaper alternatives to XYZ” “best tool for [specific problem]” and your competitor keeps getting recommended while you barely show up, that’s free traffic and customers being sent elsewhere. here’s the best way to get your product recommended by AI: > write down 20-30 questions someone would realistically ask AI before buying something in your category. don’t include your own company name. > run every question through ChatGPT with web search on. track whether you get mentioned, who gets recommended instead, and what websites/pages ChatGPT cites. > look for patterns. maybe you show up for broad “best X” questions but disappear on every “X alternatives” or pricing question. maybe a smaller competitor keeps winning one specific use case. > open the citations behind those answers. this is probably the most useful part. see what information the AI is actually relying on: comparison pages, product pages, docs, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, reviews, third-party articles, etc. > now build around the gaps you found. if competitors keep winning comparison searches, make genuinely useful comparison pages. if AI is pulling outdated information about you, find the source and update what you can. if one use case is dominated by somebody else, build the strongest resource around that problem. then rerun the exact same questions later and compare the answers. you’re looking for whether you started showing up in more of the questions you were missing before, and whether the sources ChatGPT uses have changed. plz don’t judge your AEO off one occurence where ChatGPT ranks you first. run the same 20-30 buying questions every time and measure how consistently you show up compared to everyone else.   submitted by   /u/Deenbricks [link]   [comments]
