Companies are hiring like crazy for Generative AI talent. In this 🧵 I’ll dive into:

- Companies leading the hiring surge (+1 that stands out)
- Technologies/cloud services most mentioned in these jobs
- How much $$$ companies are paying for GenAI talent
- Common use cases

@atishayhyperke Would recommend using @bloomberry for finding competitors that use a specific b2b tech/vendor. For example, it can tell u which companies recently registered a throwaway domain (ie https://t.co/8ou3va6QC2, one of urs) for cold emailing: https://t.co/QzT14I6eKT

@rustybrick For those who actually want to see the 1000+ companies that have so far claimed their ChatGPT Business Profile, I started tracking a list of these companies in real-time: https://t.co/WfBbW1PUEc

useful if you’re saying selling AI SEO services 😉

@Kevin_Indig For those who actually want to see the 1000+ companies that have so far claimed their ChatGPT Business Profile, I started tracking a list of these companies in real-time: https://t.co/WfBbW1QstK

useful if you’re saying selling AI SEO services or a tool 😉

@VengeonsP Not even sure what the secret sauce is here? 99% of ranking comes down to site and domain authority. If you dont have that, optimizing pages is marginal benefit

[Weng @AznWeng]

@TheChowdhary You should incorporate tech stack data from @bloomberry (includes backend not just frontend)

[Weng @AznWeng]

Cloudflare is quietly having a monster year. The # of new sites sitting behind $NET in Q3: +66% YoY.

AI agents flooding the web + exponential increase in security holes (see today's PHP exploit) is pushing everyone behind Cloudflare’s web firewall

[Weng @AznWeng]

@bradsmith I dont even look at mine anymore. Dont think i could handle it 🤣

[Weng @AznWeng]

@NickAbraham12 Would recommend @bloomberry over Builtwith as it tracks a lot more backend tools! Heck, for the cold email space it even tracks companies that registered a throwaway domain (ie https://t.co/M8lKQmyFbf, one of Cleverly’s) for cold emailing: https://t.co/QzT14I6eKT

[Weng @AznWeng]

@modestproposal1 Right, i didnt see Reddit complaining about Google when they clearly benefited from a ranking boost.

[Weng @AznWeng]

@fivosaresti Would add tech stack signals to #3. For example if ure an outbound agency, u probably would wanna know if a company started using Apollo: https://t.co/VDSvtOy7Yz

[Weng @AznWeng]

@jun_song I dont get it. You are basing this from a lone Redditor? I would be very very surprised in Google got rid of it. Would love to be wrong. It would be the loudest celebration among all smb owners, marketers everywhere

[Weng @AznWeng]

@siyul “The Reddit experience captures the human experience in a way that no other platform can replicate"

its not AI search that can solve this, he’s right. But what about AI chatbots?

[Weng @AznWeng]

@CyrusShepard I mean, just get rid of AI Answers and we would all be happy. That simple!

[Weng @AznWeng]

@draperdon69 A lot of queries I see for keywords have Reddit either #1-3 in the results in Google. Even for threads where the content is almost useless, but they rank simply bc its Reddit. Maybe Reddit was overearning that traffic

[Weng @AznWeng]

@MitchellKeller_ Would recommend https://t.co/7glf5U6ves to find companies using ur competitor btw. Ie. If you’re selling an outbound tool (or even an agency) u should contact companies using https://t.co/mfaRlKvs5M: https://t.co/VDSvtOy7Yz

[Weng @AznWeng]

@illyquid Chatbots like Chatgpt/claude do not use Google Search, but if you write custom agents, you can certainly tell it to use Google Search. For me personally, google queries have 10x this year, all bc of agents I wrote

[Weng @AznWeng]

@Stonks_or_swim @saso_capital Yeah for me personally, i have done 10x more search queries on Google this year. The problem; almost all of them are driven by agents I wrote. They dont click ads!

[Weng @AznWeng]

@coldemailchris Would recommend checking out Bloomberry for building lists of companies that use a b2b tech :) unlike builtwith, it has more coverage of backend tools.

Example: it can track which companies, registered a throwaway domain (ie https://t.co/pCZj1ppQHY): https://t.co/QzT14I6eKT

[Weng @AznWeng]

@CharlieZvible Does query growth include queries coming from AI agents/crawlers too (ie triggered by a prompt in Claude)? If so, query growth might be artificially inflated…
