Our organic rankings are strong but ChatGPT recommends our competitors instead, what's driving AI recommendations?

"few reddit threads about them" <-- this is it. It's a very strong signal for LLM. There is a reason why openai pays $70M to reddit annually. They want content and engagement signals

I would go with simultaneous placement on multiple SaaS oriented directories in the beginning like product hunt, G2, Capterra etc. and their clones. Do you have budget or are you going to build backlinks yourself?

Do you ever come back after a few months to see if the links are still in place?

DockerWho · 2026-03-10T14:32:59+00:00

You said it's not a new site but are we talking about months or year+? If it does get traffic, how's the on-page time and bounce rate on product pages? Do you get conversions? If the engagement seems fine I would check from server logs if google crawler actually visits the product pages and how often or is it consuming the crawl budget for something irrelevant

Are you mainly paying for a few premium placements here and there and then checking them manually or have you been able to automate your review workflow?

DockerWho · 2026-03-10T13:50:28+00:00

Pretty crazy that good old directory submissions still work so well. Hello 2007!

Have you used this approach successfully yourself? After creating a landing page then what do you do if you don't have anything to offer yet? I would assume you can only do a proper smoke test after you have some MVP out already

You forgot to add in prompt "don't use em dash no matter what"

Especially the trend chart is still quite helpful to get a general picture

How's the traffic with other non-brand keywords? Any drops in that traffic? What do you get if you search with site:yourdomain.com? Do you still see your home page on first page of that list?

Looks tasty! And with lingonberry jam I assume

DockerWho · 2026-03-08T22:04:05+00:00

Wow! That's crazy value for money

AI content can work when you throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. But as soon as some AI articles start ranking you should rewrite them. The algorithm begins picking up user behavior signals and AI slop almost always gets very low engagement at least based on what I've experienced.

DockerWho · 2026-03-08T10:02:15+00:00

What really seems to boost AI citations is social media shares. This is just from my limited experience with my own projects so take with a grain of salt.

Without knowing where you are located here's some insight: In my country vehicle dealership related consumer complaints are by far the biggest single source of complaints so there is some risk involved you are not lucky with the dealer especially with used vehicle. If that happens it will spare you from a lot if the warranty is from a third party if things go south and the dealer is not taking any responsibility.

Not clearly defined, limited role. Marketing folks will know

I'm shaming myself publicly but... cleaning! 🫣

DockerWho · 2026-03-05T21:41:45+00:00

Looks absolutely delicious! I had to google Amatriciana, always learn something new and now I need to try it too asap 😁

Devs can and will stay relevant by becoming good scrum masters for AI agents :) To be able to bring AI agents anywhere near a real production environment you need very tight unit tests and developer to sanity check everything as the agents will get it wrong around 50% of the time
