... idea came up about improving our presence on Reddit (for LLM search visibility and similar reasons). One of the suggestions was to look for high-karma accounts and possibly buy them to appear more credible when posting and mentioning the product within the posts/comments. It s a tactic, sure, but to me it already feels like it crosses an ethical line. I sometimes worry they can seriously damage a company s reputation.

... nobody was talking about: LLMs don't "rank" pages. They stitch together snippets from sources that often aren't even on page 1 of Google. The #1 lever for AI visibility isn't your website.

So we built Wellows to do the three things that actually move the needle: see what AI says about ... ... content it's pulling from, and get you mentioned

... keyword density" mattered. I spent hours making sure our target keyword appeared exactly 3-4 times per 500 words. I used tools that highlighted which words were "under-optimized." I even re-wrote paragraphs to squeeze in one more mention. Turns out that hasn't been a real ranking factor for over a decade. Google's RankBrain (2015) and BERT (2019) made keyword density obsolete. These models understand context, synonyms, and user intent. They don't need ... ... stopped tracking keyword density.

It goes in the quarterly deck. But mention
