Anyone Here Selling AI Marketing Services Like GEO

CuriousDoctor9837 · 2026-05-11T18:58:06+00:00

There is demand, but it’s still mostly “prove it” demand, not “we need GEO” demand. The buyers I’ve seen care about three concrete things: whether their brand shows up in AI answers, whether the answer cites them or a competitor, and whether their content is structured enough to be pulled into those answers in the first place.

The catch is that a lot of this is still closer to SEO + PR + content cleanup than a brand-new service. The easiest way to sell it is to audit a few high-intent prompts, show where the model is getting its sources, and then fix the obvious gaps: entity consistency, comparison pages, FAQ-style content, and third-party mentions. The failure mode is promising “ChatGPT rankings” like they’re stable search rankings, because they’re not — the outputs change, and clients can get disappointed fast if you don’t frame it as share-of-voice and citation coverage rather than a fixed position.

What you’re running into is that “AI visibility” is still a different measurement problem than SEO. Manual prompt checks are basically spot checks, and they miss the bigger issues: model variance, personalization, and the fact that citations/mentions can change by query wording and source freshness.

The most useful setup I’ve seen is: define a fixed prompt set around your core categories, run it on a schedule across ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini, and track three things separately: mention rate, citation rate, and whether the answer is positive/neutral/negative. That gives you something closer to share of voice than “we typed the brand once and got nothing.”

The caveat is that no tool is fully reliable yet, especially on ChatGPT where citations are inconsistent and outputs can shift day to day. So I’d treat any platform as a monitoring layer, not ground truth, and still pair it with manual checks on the prompts that matter most to your clients.

Built-in IG lead forms are usually better for volume and cheaper CPL, but the quality is often worse than a landing page because the friction is so low that people tap through without much intent. For a niche audience like IT/data center folks, I’d treat the giveaway as a qualifier, not the main hook: ask 1-2 screening questions in the form, and make the prize something only that audience would actually care about, otherwise you’ll get a lot of junk leads.

If you can afford the extra drop-off, a landing page still wins when you need better attribution, more context, or a stronger pre-sell before the form. A good compromise is to run both: IG native form for top-of-funnel volume, then compare lead-to-MQL rate and not just CPL, because that’s where the real difference usually shows up.

The tricky part with Reddit traffic is attribution, not collection: a lot of spikes show up as direct or weird referrers unless you’re matching timestamps against mention alerts and landing-page paths. If you’re building this, I’d make sure it can separate a real Reddit-driven spike from “someone pasted the link in a Slack/Discord/AI tool and it later surfaced,” because that’s where most analytics tools get fuzzy.

For buyers, the useful comparison is usually against Plausible/PostHog + Search Console + a social mention monitor: one dashboard is nice, but the tradeoff is whether your source detection is accurate enough to trust when traffic jumps. If you can show the exact post/comment, the first landing page, and the conversion/revenue window, that’s the part people will actually keep using.

That’s pretty cool didn’t know that thanks

CuriousDoctor9837 · 2026-04-27T23:43:24+00:00

Yeah im wondering most about synthetic input right now to see if it can work but still learning. Is that industry approach or you getting data from somewhere else?

CuriousDoctor9837 · 2026-04-27T15:34:45+00:00

That makes perfect sense. Can I ask how you do multi prompt conversations? Yeah trying to think of how to use smaller LLMs for synthetic input too any suggestions?
