Hey all,

What tools are you using for competitor research across conferences (event marketing), paid, influencers, AI SEO, social and content?

Many brands measure AI search visibility by running a predefined list of prompts and counting how frequently they appear in the answers.

For example, a SaaS company might track prompts such as "best CRM software," "top CRM platforms," and "CRM tools for sales teams."

From what I am seeing across communities, here is what the tool stack looks like right now.

The Core Stack

Email & Capture: Mailchimp for launch updates and email sequences . Carrd for quick, clean launch-specific landing pages . Pre-launch tools like LaunchBuddy and Prefundia to build a waitlist and gather early feedback before you even hit the Product Hunt button .

Social & Scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite to keep a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, and Threads without it taking over your entire day . Canva for generating graphics that do not look like you threw them together in five minutes .

quick one for anyone doing SEO or growth for clients.

i mean the grind of getting placed in listicles, roundups and comparison pages. finding the pages, digging up who maintains each one, personalized pitches, follow ups, tracking who answered and who actually placed you.

asking because clients started raising the "why doesnt ChatGPT mention us" question, and the answer mostly runs through exactly these pages. AI answers cite listicles and roundups far more than homepages.

so whats your stack? one tool that covers the whole flow, a mix of prospecting and email tools, or a spreadsheet you keep alive by hand? curious what holds up at real volume, hundreds of targets, not ten.

I ve been testing a lot of AI writing tools lately and keep seeing the same pattern.They generate clean text, but the content rarely ranks or gets any real traffic. It feels like most of them stop at the writing step and ignore everything else that actually moves the needle (research, structure, publishing, indexing, consistency).Curious what others have experienced.Have you managed to get consistent organic traffic from AI-generated content?
What has worked or not worked for you?

Everyone is hyping up GEO as the new SEO. Honestly? They re just merging.
But hype aside, if you aren't tracking how ChatGPT or Perplexity cite your product, you're flying blind.
What tools are you actually using to monitor your brand's AI visibility right now?

I've worked with dozens of early-stage teams and saw the same pattern:

they want organic traffic

they publish a few blog posts
