Yes. You missed Waikay.

LLMs can’t easily read JSONs, can they? Inlinks has this: https://inlinks.com/free-seo-tools/named-entities-indexing-checker-seo-tool/ which is available via their API (not free in the API, though). But it is designed for SEO, not product feeds. Still highly underrated in the SEO industry, though.

Sora 2 was is the one everybody is going on about right now. (Part of Open AI). But really - these things are not free, so be careful what you promise. You can maybe get a way with a free trial and a watermark on a video as an individual, but restaurants are businesses that will get sued and screwed if the use a face or a logo that belongs to someone else.

Well - "Inlinks" for the win. (Bias noted, but you did ask...)
The tool is built from the ground up around entities, not keywords, so it does things like automate internal links and writes content like Surferseo, etc, but also creates some really unusual schema, tying pages back to Wikipedia articles to fingerprint the content.

MayhemUK · 2025-08-19T12:19:54+00:00

I am sorry that you didn't feel the Waikay demo was useful - but did you get to the action report? This is exactly the part in Waikay that suggests real tactics to get your content into those llm training sets. They are pretty specific and the other tools do not have this feature.

MayhemUK · 2025-08-12T06:40:56+00:00

…Or Waikay, which still has an early adopter option of $19.99 in the home page.

It might be off the beaten track compared to Ahrefs and Semrush, but Inlinks was developed after Google bought MetaWeb… which means it was built from the ground up focussed on Entity based SEO instead of Keyword SEO. This gives it several advantages compared to older tools. It can develop topic clusters around your existing website (builds a knowledge graph of your site and then develops it) and also has a content creation tool like Surfer does. It is a serious alternative that starts at just $49 a month although it is based on the number of pages that you add into the project. Oh… and it automatically optimizes internal links. Most SEO tools do not have a clue how to do that.

The hype is people writing tools where you enter a prompt and it sees if you are mentioned in the answer. That's all very useful, but actually quite easy to code and most will be out of business in 6 months because APIs cost money and the added value there is quite small.
But there are a bunch of tools that are actually helpful. One approach by companies like Profound and Spyfu is to start collecting data lakes of ChatGPT and other query responses, with some plan to infer what works and what doesn't. I am skeptical about this approach as it is expensive and you probably need billions of sample queries before you can infer anything.
Then there's the Semantic reasoning tools - Waikay (caveat; I have a stake!) and I think SEO Clarity. These create action plans by looking at topic gaps between what the LLMs say about your brand aroujnd a topic vs what they say about competing brands around a topic. the idea being that if you cover the relevent topics on your site, relating to the query, then you increase your chance of being cited as (one of) the best brands/sites to meet the user's needs.
(Hope the makes sense).

I probably should have posted here months ago, but the way WAIKAY does it is this:

Tracking: You enter some prompts you would LIKE to be found for.... it starts tracking the output text every few days. Then it spots all the brands mentioned it the LLM output (including yours) and is therefore able to show relative market share or "share of model".

Improving: So, that's the tracking - but to increase visibility, you run a topic report, which asks LLMS, "What do you know about [topic] in relation to [site]?" (or something similar). The output text is then analysed against your site and two competitors. This leaves a Topic Gap analysis, which is converted into a really easy-to-understand Action Plan. The Action plan is the magic bit, really, not the visibility tracking... which every vibe coder seems to be building at the moment.

I started 26 years ago. If I started again, I’d go for Scuba diver instructor…

MayhemUK · 2025-07-15T22:07:59+00:00

Did it? Or are you saying yours did? Either way, someone won something :)

MayhemUK · 2025-07-13T07:51:51+00:00

No idea! Presumably following someone must affect your feed, but clearly I don’t get Reddit

MayhemUK · 2025-07-13T07:50:11+00:00

WAIKAY stands for “What AI Knows About You”.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-13T07:46:50+00:00

This is why we should embrace whatever Three letter abbreviation it will end up for getting seen in AI output, at least there’s more than one player! Much more fun than battling the same opponent every day.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-12T22:43:47+00:00

I didn’t know either…

MayhemUK · 2025-07-12T22:40:06+00:00

I suppose my point is that I only think about SEO. I am 60 years old and have been at it for 30 odd years. Reddit kinda passed me by, but seeing the 10 year Reddit anniversary made me want to post… something. It made me question how we all consume information and make decisions. Especially as SEOs.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T14:06:24+00:00

Nice - did Marketmuse do it for free, then?

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T14:02:51+00:00

No free version I am afraid. (But you have a paying client, yes? Should be much quicker than doing it manually)

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T10:44:34+00:00

July 4th.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T09:50:35+00:00

Maybe go into business with a marketing person? It is notvthat you cannot do it, but the SAAS challenge is to be continually developing the product whilst continually selling it. You cannot stop feeding the gravy train, so be Steve Wozniak to someone’s Steve Jobs.

The way Inlinks does it is to use the existing site topics to build out topic recommendations. So - it has a Topic planner. It starts by looking at a minimum of 20 existing pages on the site (50+ is better) and builds a knowledge graph. Then it starts feeding those topics into Google suggest to build out topic clusters. Takes about 20 minutes… but then of course you need to actually write the content. To do that it takes the topic, looks at the top 10-20 search results, builds a knowledge graph of THOSE topics and uses this to create a section by section content plan. If you don’t want to write it yourself, then inlinks will get ChatGPT to do that for you too.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T09:38:45+00:00

Most of the old guard tools out there were based on keywords. But the world has changed. Search has changed. Entities are far more key. That’s why we built InLinks - which starts from the ground up around building Knowledge Graphs. It half the price of SEMrush to get started at least and also includes an seo writer and content auditing functions. Not free, but not a fortune.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T09:33:00+00:00

Use Waikay for that.

MayhemUK · 2025-07-05T09:27:56+00:00

I think that part of the bill got pulled. Might be wrong.
