... Every SEO/marketing tool I look at lately has bolted on some version of "AI visibility tracking" How often your brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc. The pitch is basically: rankings are dying, AI mentions

... Apple's own support pages. Apple In-App Purchase: 26%, or 15% if you're in the Small Business Program, the Mini Apps or Video Partner Programs, or on an auto-renewable subscription after the subscriber's first year. Alternative payment processing inside your app: 20%, or 10% for those same groups. Out-of-app offers with an actionable link: a 15% store services commission, or 10% for those groups, on anything bought within 7 days of the tap. Apps ... ... distributed outside the App Store entirely - an alternative

... have been testing how different products show up in AI answers and noticed that getting mentioned doesn't always mean much. A product might be listed alongside several competitors

... tools. For those building SaaS products: are you seeing people discover you through AI yet? Or is Google still doing most of the work? Comment from Serdar D(@serdarships): @niveditha_patluri1   @bencohen  My own pages first, mentions elsewhere last. But before either of those I check whether the page can be fetched at all. I build and sell prebuilt affiliate sites in a single category, watches, so I have a catalog to test that on, and there ... ... routing rule rather than a content problem, and since every site I run comes off one shared build, it closes in one place instead of page by page. I cannot show that a fix like that moves a mention

... progress tracking as bulk PDF uploads. Drag and drop to add content On your main library page, you can drop PDFs, images, text files, Markdown files, or a Markdown zip to create a card or start an import. Unlinked mentions On a card's Connections tab, Recall now suggests other cards that mention

... questions for people who are here more than I am. Do you rely on the notification feed at all, or have you built some habit around it? And is there a setting I've missed that makes mentions more reliable? Genuinely possible the answer is that I've had something switched off this whole time. Comment from Satchmo Saunders(@satchmo_saunders): @alpertayfurr  Agreed on the inbox framing, that's the right shape for it. What I can't work ... ... follow a pattern I can filter for. On this thread I got a notification that you upvoted, but nothing when you commented. The post shows three upvotes and I've had two notifications for them. So it isn't mentions

... keep digging into what actually gets a product mentioned in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers, and the data keeps pointing somewhere that makes me question the whole "GEO/AEO" hype. Ahrefs looked at 75k brands and found branded mentions

... almost 8% higher than last year. But the game has changed. What's Different in 2026 1. Backlinks are a gate, not a dial. A Semrush study of 1,000 domains found that authority score correlated with AI mentions at Pearson 0.65. Raw backlink volume correlated much more weakly. Low-authority domains collect a handful of citations; top-tier domains collect dozens. The relationship is threshold-shaped. 2. The split between SEO and GEO is real. Backlinks influence AI visibility ... ... have improved their rankings. In AI search, nofollow links are often just as important as dofollow links. Image backlinks deserve more attention. Perplexity and ChatGPT Search favor them, and Gemini also shows a noticeable correlation. Listicle placements and brand mentions

... things that worked surprisingly well for my Chrome extension (a LinkedIn activity tracker that alerts you before you hit LinkedIn's limits and trigger account restrictions). 1. I talked about it constantly on Product Hunt before launch. I kept mentioning that I was building it and shared a waitlist to build anticipation. 2. After launch, I reached out to people on LinkedIn via DMs. I asked whether they knew anyone struggling with LinkedIn account restrictions. Many introduced me to people ... ... engineer and not exactly a marketing person , I m still trying to gain confidence in advertising the products I m building. Good advice in your post.. and no: I did t have (yet) that aha! moment you re mentioning

... links matter less, while studies measuring AI Overviews or Perplexity find they still matter. The shift in 2026: Backlinks are a gate, not a dial. A Semrush study of 1,000 domains found that authority score correlated with AI mentions at Pearson 0.65. Raw backlink volume correlated much more weakly. The relationship is threshold-shaped. Low-authority domains collect a handful of citations; top-tier domains collect dozens. Brand mentions

... Google still largely shows traditional results. AI search is mostly eating informational traffic, not purchase-intent traffic. Second, the traffic that AI does send is higher quality. ChatGPT-referred visitors spend an average of 15 minutes on a website versus Google-referred visitors at 8 minutes. Sessions from AI referrals grew 527% year over year in the first five months of 2025. Third, only 16% of brands are systematically tracking their performance in AI search. That means 84% of your ... ... competitors

... short call to action at the end, inviting people to join the waitlist. If a LinkedIn post isn't related to the tool, I'll sometimes leave a funny comment underneath it and add a P.S. mentioning my tool. I want to dedicate at least one LinkedIn post per week specifically to the product I'm building. I'd love to hear what has worked for you. Comment from Pranay(@pranay19): @busmark_w_nika It can help ... ... birthday party in 30 days" or "Here's how I would split a 50,000 celebration budget." The content is useful even if someone never uses Tendr. Then, if the product naturally helps with what you're discussing, mentioning

... search, backlinks influence visibility differently. They act on the retrieval layer the live search index that grounds AI answers rather than the model's frozen training weights . A domain's Authority Score correlated with AI mentions at Pearson 0.65, according to a Semrush study of 1,000 domains tracked across five AI surfaces . Raw backlink volume correlated far more weakly. Two insights from the data: Backlinks are a gate, not a dial. The relationship between authority and AI visibility ... ... threshold-shaped. Low-authority domains collect a handful of AI mentions

... brought us: 600+ new user registrations 4,400+ unique website visits And then the 20 days after the launch brought even more: 1,925 total new registrations 15,800 website visits 70,100 unique visits across own.page pages 5 mentions in large newsletters For some products, maybe these numbers are normal. For me, they felt huge. Because behind every registration, there is a real person, someone who created a page, someone who gave the product a chance, someone who maybe ... ... own.page for the first time because of that launch. And here is something unexpected. Product Hunt didn t just give us one launch day. It gave us momentum. People discovered the product, shared it, mentioned

... made them succeed or fail? For those who've sold into small/mid-sized businesses, what's usually the biggest blocker to adoption price, integration effort, or something else? Is there a feature here that seems like a "nice to have" versus something that would actually change behavior? Would appreciate any perspective, whether from experience building similar things or just as someone who's dealt with this as a customer or business owner. Comment from Alessandro Lusardi(@alelusardi): I am currently building ... ... point it at if you had it Comment from Yogesh Joshi(@yogesh_builds): Currentlt building GeoRankers - an AI search visibility platform for B2B SaaS and enterprise teams. There are already plenty of AI visibility tools focused on monitoring mentions

... scaffolding from scratch. ShipStreak (also mine) - keeps shipping cadence visible when everything else is chaos. Simple accountability, hard to fake. Honorable mention: Priora for blind feature ranking before I write a single line of code. Saved me from more than one overbuilt MVP. Curious how many people have tool I built for myself in their top 5 vs

... setup. No explaining. Just do it once. Voice Mode : Talk to NeuralAgent. It talks back. Start tasks with your voice, get responses spoken aloud. No typing required. Parallel Agents : NeuralAgent now spawns multiple agents working simultaneously. Research 30 competitors at once. An hour of work in minutes. Workflows & @ Mentions

... watching. The world is talking about your brand constantly in threads, group chats, comment sections, forums and most founders are completely in the dark until it's already a problem. So we built Monitr. Real-time brand mentions, sentiment tracking, competitor

... Last week, two search engines took very different positions on Generative Engine Optimization. Google (May 15, 2026): GEO is "still SEO." No chunking. No llms.txt. No paid mentions. No special schema. Bing (Fabrice Canel, April 2025): "Traditional SEO practices become obsolete." Bing added GEO to its official guidelines and built a dashboard inside Webmaster Tools to track Copilot citations. At first glance, they seem to contradict each other. They are not. What Google is saying Google is talking about tactics ... ... signals as classic search. Content quality, relevance, authority, trust. The fundamentals have not changed. The quick fixes do not work. Chunking your content into tiny pieces does not help. Adding a llms.txt file does not guarantee citation. Paying for mentions

... layer. When someone asks "what's the best tool for X?" AI gives an answer. And if your product isn't in that answer, you're invisible. The problem? Most solo founders have no idea where (or if) AI mentions their product. The big players have teams monitoring this. We don't. So I built AIRankCite, a tool that scans Reddit, Hacker News, and niche forums to show you exactly where AI is picking up signals about your product, where ... ... your competitors

... feed? Comment from Chloe Samaha(@chloesamaha): Why does it matter? Why focus on how it was produced instead of the outcome? Do you care if you asked someone what's 24x5 if they did the math in their head vs on a calculator? Comment from Mikita Aliaksandrovich(@mikita_aliaksandrovich): I d say repetition is usually the biggest giveaway. When too many posts sound a little too polished, too structured, and too perfect, people start to notice it, even if they ... ... reads totally different from AI content that just sounds polished. The uniformity problem is that most people are prompting for safe, agreeable output. Comment from Amrani Yasser(@amraniyasser): @saad_el_gueddari  Yeah exactly, it s less about AI vs

... 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. It's third-party mentions (listicles, Reddit threads, niche blogs, comparison pages). Most "AI SEO tools" tell you your score. None of them close the loop. 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

... insight and craft, not hype. Comment from Alix Gallardo(@agnamihira): @emre_yilmaz_easyparser   @busmark_w_nika  you are right. In this era, distribution is the king and it starts with your personal branding. However, as you mentioned, sharing your personal keys, from the account where you built your whole empire, creates real security concerns over time. Comment from Nelli Orlova(@nelly_orlova): the 'can't hand over personal accounts' part is underrated, i've seen 2 web3 founders ... ... doesn t need your face or story stamped on it. Or you re building something you want to sell later, or hand off completely then you need it to exist independently from you. "Giving someone the keys problem you mentioned

... about to buy. So when someone asks an LLM for a tool in your category do you show up? Most founders type their product name into ChatGPT for the first time and feel that quiet panic. Competitors show up. Inferior products show up. They don't. SEO gets you on Google. GEO gets you cited by AI. They're completely different games and most founders don't even know the second one exists yet. Directory presence, brand mentions

... Because the game changed and nobody sent a memo. More and more of your clients customers are skipping Google entirely. They go straight to ChatGPT or Perplexity, ask a question, get an answer, and click the brand that gets mentioned. If your client is not getting mentioned
