Building RankAsAnswer in public — starting today. Most sites rank #1 on Google but are invisible when ChatGPT answers the same query. That gap is what I'm fixing. 0 users. 0 MRR. Just the idea + code. #BuildInPublic #GEO #AISEO

Your traditional rank tracker is lying to you. Stop guessing why ChatGPT and Perplexity are ignoring your site. Here is what a real Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) audit looks like inside RankAsAnswer. 4 AI models. Real RAG metrics. 1-click fixes. 👇 #BuildInPublic #GEO #AISEO #indiehackers

@pcshipp Same here for rankasanswer.com — ending the free tier soon.

Finally, I’m stopping free access - $2 revenue - $0 MRR - 802 new users Paid users >> Free users

@MS_BASE44 @Base44 Love this auto-scan + llms.txt fix — exactly what invisible apps need. Spent years watching good traffic go nowhere. Once it flows, we use RankAsAnswer.com to turn it into real leads. Great move.

Just shipped: SEO & GEO for your @Base44 apps. You can now run a full scan, get a scored breakdown, and fix everything with AI. No SEO background needed. Two things get scored separately: - SEO: how Google finds you - meta tags, crawlability, structured data, content quality - GEO: how AI tools find you - ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. Different logic than Google. What ranks on one doesn't automatically work on the other. There are millions of builders on Base44. Most of them ship something real and then it just sits there. Someone searches for exactly the tool they built - on Google or inside ChatGPT - and gets nothing. That's what this solves. One thing worth knowing specifically: we now generate llms.txt automatically. It's a file that tells AI search engines what your app does and how to reference it. If a user asks ChatGPT for "best app to manage X" and you built it, you now have a shot at showing up. It scans your app and shows you exactly what's missing: a meta description on your pricing page, structured data that Google expects, an image for when someone shares the link. You click Fix with AI, it writes them for you. Live for all builders now. Under the new Growth section.

@HsanC_ Done this exact play with SEO tools. Pulled G2 complaints on Ahrefs/Semrush pricing and built lighter alternatives.

You don't know what SaaS to build? 1. Pick a well-known product 2. Go to their G2 profile 3. Read all the reviews (1000+) 4. Take notes what people complain about 5. Build the product 🧑‍💻 6. Reach out to those people (you solved their problem!) then scale to $10k MRR 💰

@boringlocalseo Been running local SEO for 8+ years—AI is already eating our "who to call" traffic hard. best move right now: ship those pricing + comparison pages fast, then track what actually gets cited. RankAsAnswer.com helps with the tracking part once you have the content.

here are 7 things i'm willing to bet money are true about local search by the end of 2027: 1. google's market share of local "who should i call" queries drops below 55%. currently about 78%. chatgpt, perplexity, gemini, and meta ai will eat the difference. claude will be a distant 5th but growing fast. 2. homeadvisor / angi / thumbtack / taskrabbit collectively shrink by 60%+ in revenue. the lead-reselling model doesn't survive the ai shift because the ai sends better-qualified leads direct to the business. (we're already seeing this in the Q4 2025 earnings reports.) 3. google business profile becomes a formality. businesses will still maintain it for navigation/hours/phone number, but gbp posts, photos, and q&a become irrelevant for ai citations. the ai models don't use gbp data for recommendations — they use web content. 4. every serious local business will have 3 pieces of content minimum: a pricing transparency page, a comparison/listicle covering top competitors, and a "when to hire a professional vs diy" guide. these three pieces alone account for 80%+ of ai citations currently. 5. reddit becomes the most valuable local marketing surface. not because of paid reddit ads (those are still bad) — because perplexity and chatgpt use reddit threads as primary sources for local recommendations. local businesses that have a genuine presence in their city's subreddit will dominate. 6. voice queries to home devices (alexa, google home, apple intelligence) start routing through ai models instead of google search. this is already partially happening. by 2027 it's the default. "alexa, who's the best plumber nearby" will be answered by an ai model, not google. 7. a new category of tool emerges: "ai citation intelligence." currently there are maybe 3 serious companies in this space (we're one of them). by 2027 there will be 40+, and every local business with >$500k revenue will use one. this is going to be a $1B+ category by 2028. what this means for you if you own a local business: the 18-month window to get ahead is now. by 2028, everyone will be doing this and the competitive edge evaporates. the businesses that move in 2026 will have an unshakeable moat. the fix is simple. the execution is not complicated. the only question is whether you actually do it. Comment "LOCALRANK" if you want my LLM citation framework and I'll DM it to you (Must be following)

@askOkara awesome, btw which recording you using? and posting is autonomously or manually handled?

this is the easiest way to get your first 100 users: > go to okara.ai > drop your product url > it monitors reddit 24/7, finds relevant threads, and drafts authentic replies for you to post

this OpenClaw bot finds restaurants with ugly menus, rebuilds them as live web menus, and mails the owner a postcard...on autopilot. here's how agencies can land recurring contracts with this system: - scrapes every restaurant in a city in real time - filters by review count + rating + last menu update + photo quality - pulls the real menu items from the official site, PDF, or Google reviews - samples the brand palette from the restaurant's own visual identity - renders a 9:16 brand-matched menu, hosted live at a QR-accessible URL - writes a personalized postcard referencing a real reviewer and a real dish - mails it to the registered office addressed to the owner by first name every step from discovery to brand-matching to outreach is automated. reply "MENU" + RT and i'll send you a free guide so you can build this too

@JespernissenSEO Solid advice. Did this for months on a couple sites—FB groups and X gave the quickest brand signals in GSC, then longtails followed. Once traffic hits, turning it into real leads is the real game. and yes for GEO citationation, rankasanswer.com worked well.

How to do parasite SEO without a budget Create profiles on major social media for your brand. This is a must. Post on these daily: - Youtube preferrably videos, but also standard posts with links to your videos - Facebook. Create a Facebook group with your company name, they rank better than pages - LinkedIn posts, not articles - X posts. Upgrade to Premium for articles if you have the budget, articles rank better - Instagram - Threads - Pinterest - Tiktok - Reddit create your own subreddit to post to Keep on posting multiple times pr day to all of the above. You dont need to make multiple videos, but at least post text/image posts.. Its a lot or work, but it will pay off.. When doing this consistently this will happen: You will start to see various posts pop up on page one for your brand. Then longtail keywords will start to appear on page one. Besides this, create AI pages on Perplexity, Qwen and similar for your brand. Once the above social media posts start to index and rank, consider purchasing press releases, and point to your website, and the social media posts, that are allready ranking.. Do the above for two weeks, and I guarantee you will see increasing organic traffic in Google search console, and leads starting to come in... #parasiteseo #jespernissenseo

@starter_story Solid routine but the real grind is getting consistent traffic that actually converts. Spent years in SEO trenches tweaking for pennies before it clicked. Once you have eyes, optimizing answers is the unlock.

Day in the life of a solopreneur who makes $77k per month:

@bloggersarvesh Done this with Claude for a few local clients—saves hours on competitor audits but still need real human tweaks on the final on-page stuff to actually rank. The traffic is useless without turning it into leads.

🚨 INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT. Spend 1.5 Hours with THIS. A Claude + SEO FULL COURSE that teaches you how to dominate Google rankings like a $10k/month SEO Agency. The people who watch this tonight will wake up tomorrow with a new skillset altogether. Watch it. Read the 20 prompt article. Bookmark both now.

As a founder who's lived through the SEO grind, that asymmetry is real—$48/mo for real traffic beats guessing with paid ads any day. The next edge is making sure those clicks (and AI answers) actually point to you. Built something that tracks exactly where ChatGPT/Perplexity cite your site: rankasanswer.com Worth layering on top.

I’ve tried every SEO tool you can imagine! Then I built getviralseo .com to grow VML! Here are the results: 228 clicks per day. The asymmetry is insane: You pay $48/month and get 6,840 clicks. That traffic is worth approximately $25,000.

@NousResearch @macbethAI This is huge! Hermes + TouchDesigner = steep learning curve demolished. Loving the agent-driven creative coding wave. Great timing for the hackathon @NousResearch — time to build!

The most powerful real-time visual tool in creative coding also has the steepest learning curve Now your Hermes agent can just run TouchDesigner for you. Video credit: made by @macbethAI, a talented AI artist and avid Hermes user, with the TouchDesigner skill

@jakezward Been building in this space as a founder and yeah, every 'SEO killer' just creates a new layer. traditional rankings still drive most traffic, but now we're also tracking what actually gets cited in ChatGPT/Perplexity answers. The winners adapt to both.

SEO has been dying since 1997. - Google Ads - Social media - TikTok search - Voice assistants - Featured snippets - Zero-click searches - Every Google update - AI Overviews in Google - GEO/AEO as the new SEO - ChatGPT replacing Google And now... AI agents? Here’s the reality:

@neilpatel People now ask full questions because AI Overviews feel like chatting. The tricky part is even when you answer perfectly, you still need to check if AI tools actually cite you.

There's been a 163% increase in the number of people typing questions into Google. With AI Overviews, Google is seeing more and more people ask questions just like ChatGPT. If you aren't optimizing for question-based queries, you are missing out on brand awareness.

@jakezward Been building in this space for a while now. GEO isn't just merging with SEO — it's exposing the gap where Google #1 doesn't mean AI answers cite you at all.

So is GEO just part of SEO now?

Is SEO dead and being replaced by GEO? Well, let's look at the data. We took websites that spend money on both SEO and GEO. We then compared traffic, conversion rates, and LTV for each channel. Here are the results.

@neilpatel Spot on Neil. We've seen the exact same pattern on our own sites — tiny AI traffic but way higher conversion and LTV than Google. Been obsessed with this so I built a tool - RankAsAnswer.co to track when ChatGPT/Perplexity actually cite your site.

@jakezward Seen brand mentions kill traffic for sites we ran in the last few years. Real expertise still beats AI slop.That's why we're building RankAsAnswer.com — to check if ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google actually cite your site.

2026 SEO predictions: (Took me until February to compile this) 1. Publishers lose 30-40% of their traffic. AI Overviews now appear in 44% of queries and are eating up informational clicks. 2. "Position 1" becomes meaningless. Share of SERP is the new metric. You need to appear in AI Overviews, PAA, videos, AND organic results to win. 3. Schema becomes non-negotiable. LLMs optimise for token efficiency. They want to understand your content in the fewest tokens possible. Schema tells them exactly what they need to know. 4. Brand mentions in AI answers replace clicks as the primary KPI. Your content gets consumed in AI summaries, not on your site. If your brand isn't mentioned, you don't exist. 5. Many SEO agencies won't survive 2026. AI automation replaces services, traffic declines kill their results, lack of conversion focus is highlighted, and they can't pivot fast enough. 6. Human expertise crushes 100% AI slop. Nearly half of the web will be AI-generated. Small bloggers with real experience will outrank Forbes and HubSpot because they actually lived it. 7. Keyword tracking tools become less popular. Zero-click searches dominate. Traditional rank tracking becomes almost useless in isolation. 8. Attribution becomes your biggest nightmare. The user journey fragments across LLMs, Google, and other platforms. You need to prove SEO's value through contribution analysis, not last-click attribution. 9. Proprietary data becomes your moat. Own original research, customer insights, and first-party data that AI can't regurgitate. 10. Feeds and structured data become your brand protection. Control what you send to Google and OpenAI directly. It's your biggest defence against AI hallucinations and misrepresentation. 11. Topic clusters completely replace keyword lists. LLMs use vector embeddings, not keyword matching. Create topic hubs where your pages link together. 12. SEO fundamentals still win. Indexation, internal linking, crawl optimizing... remain critical. AI doesn't change the foundation, it adds layers on top (traditional SEO on hard-mode). 13. Content refresh beats new content. Everyone publishes the same AI summaries. Update your best content with fresh insights and real expertise. 14. ROI replaces vanity metrics. Traffic for traffic's sake dies. Companies ask more questions like, "does this convert or just inflate numbers?" 15. SEO doesn't die, it evolves. Call it GEO, AEO, whatever. The fundamentals remain. Fix user problems, earn trust, get visibility, and convert traffic. 16. The fastest wealth creation in SEO comes from spotting what others underestimate. Most people think traditional SEO is dead. They're wrong. That's your edge. 2026 should be wild for search. What did I miss?
