@StevBuilds Yes, with limited marketing budget + creators asking for high fees, I decided to start building my own distribution system.

@Simao237 You initially built it to solve a own problem?

Be honest: Would you pay for your own product?

Your competitor is not beating you on product. They are beating you because AI Engins learned their name first. That is a distribution problem. And it is fixable.

Reddit is 1st then X, LinkedIn mostly for B2B entreprise / Agencies Why Reddit 1st : people there expressing their frustration about your competitors, u simply engage by providing value first and highlighting what should be done instead then slightly suggest your product as an option with other products that provide better value.

What's your choice on distribution? @x vs @reddit vs @linkedin

@agazdecki Here is the hack guys, let the AI engins handle the distribution through recommendations, and u won’t be dealing with cold outreach and months of follow ups. 🫰

Founders when they see a competitor with a shitty product but great distribution raise $10M:

@anupamrjp AI Recommends You

Your SaaS in 3 words. No more. No less. Let's go Go 👇..

@acadictive Tbh, by eating my own dog food actually, I have been struggling with distribution then I decided to build a distribution app and be my first user, been using it everyday since.

Let’s learn from each other: What are your best suggestions for marketing/distribution with a limited budget?

@acadictive Reddit is a gold mine

@mscode07 Building AIRankCite.com It tells you if AI engines like ChatGPT are recommending your product right now, shows you which Reddit and HN threads they pull from, then gives you a done-for-you plan to get your first AI citation. Zero to visible. No guessing.”

I'll be your first customer 🫡 Drop what your SaaS does below If it solves a real problem for me, I'm signing up

@bas_fijneman Thanks @bas_fijneman ! Would you be open to trying it out and sharing honest feedback? Would mean a lot at this stage

@Simao237 Sick bro!

Hey you🫵🏼 If you're building anything with AI, let's connect👋🏼

5 signs AI engines do not know your product exists: 1. You ask Claude about your niche and your product name never comes up. 2. Your competitors get recommended in threads you have never posted in. 3. Your only Reddit mention is your own launch post from 6 months ago. 4. Perplexity cites your competitor’s blog when answering questions you wrote content for. 5. You have great SEO on Google but zero presence in AI search results. If 3 or more of these hit, you have a GEO problem. The fix starts with knowing which communities AI is actually reading. That is what AIRankCite maps for you.

Scanning solo founder products to see if AI engines like ChatGPT are recommending them. Spoiler: most are invisible. Building AIRankCite.com to fix that. It tells you if AI recommends your product, shows you which Reddit and HN threads it pulls from, then gives you a done-for-you plan to get your first AI citation. Drop your product URL below and I will run a free scan on it.

What are you working on this week?

@StevBuilds @X Thanks @StevBuilds ! Still early, building in public on X and using AIRankCite on our own product as the first use case. Meta move: using a GEO tool to get the GEO tool discovered. Would love your honest feedback when you check it out.

@Simao237 @X What a powerful product! Will have a look. How is distribution going for you?

Hey all! @X I'm looking to #connect with people interested in: - SaaS - Marketing - Content Production - App development - vibe coders Let's grow together 🤝

@FlippedRay This

Just signed my first agency client They literally discovered me through ChatGPT.

@MicroLaunchHQ Feature founders who launch on your directory in a weekly X post with a short breakdown of what they built. Builders get visibility. You get content. Everyone wins. AIRankCite just launched and we are ready to go first :)

Builders, how can we help you this weekend? Please be crazy.

Exactly. The ecom pattern is even more pronounced because buyers ask very specific questions ("best X for Y under $’Z") and the AI models pull answers from threads where real users shared experiences. The shift from "rank your product page" to "be present in the conversations AI pulls from" is happening across every vertical. Ecom brands that figure this out early have a massive advantage. Are you seeing specific subreddits or forums that ecom AI citations pull from most? Curious if it's concentrated in a few communities or spread out.

@Simao237 this exact pattern shows up for ecom. products that get cited tend to have problem-first buyer-language threads (reddit, niche forums) the model can pull from. brand-led product copy alone doesn't move the needle anymore.

I analyzed how 10 SaaS products got recommended by ChatGPT. Here’s the pattern: 1. Every single product had at least 3 Reddit threads where real users discussed it, not the founders, actual users. 2. The threads weren’t reviews. They were troubleshooting conversations, comparisons, and ‘is this worth it’ questions. 3. Products with zero Reddit presence got zero AI recommendations. Every time. 4. The sweet spot: threads in subreddits with 50k-500k members where the product came up naturally in a problem-solving context. 5. You don’t need 100 mentions. You need 3-5 high-quality ones in the right communities. 6. This is the entire thesis behind AIRankCite, find those communities before your competitor does. Save this. The GEO game is winnable for solo founders. It just requires knowing where to play.

Hey @JonBuildsHQ I am Building AIRankCite.com It tells you if AI engines like ChatGPT are recommending your product right now, shows you which Reddit and HN threads they pull from, then gives you a done-for-you plan to get your first AI citation. Zero to visible. No guessing.
