@HitLambaAI From our weekly checks: roundups and comparison posts, often published by a vendor in the category. For newsletter platforms, ChatGPT cited a beehiiv post titled "6 Best Newsletter Tools in 2023". Old roundups keep getting repeated.

@t_p_cameron Fair question. No hard numbers of our own yet. The most concrete public one I've seen: Flexprice's founder said 44.3% of their inbound leads came from AI search this year. Asking new signups where they found you is the easiest way to get your own.

When ChatGPT answered "best CRM for startups", some pages it cited were the vendors' own: HubSpot's "CRM for Startups" page and Moon CRM's "Free CRM for Solo Founders and Small Teams".

A page titled for your buyer's exact question can get cited.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

We asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini which CRM a startup should use (checked Oct 20).

All three named HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Close and Folk. ChatGPT also surfaced small ones like Moon CRM and KudosCRM.

One source ChatGPT cited for "best newsletter platforms" this week was a beehiiv blog post titled "6 Best Newsletter Tools in 2023".

Old comparison pages keep getting cited. Keep yours current: this year's prices, today's options, honest picks.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

We asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini which analytics tools indie hackers should use (checked Oct 19).

All three named Plausible, PostHog, Umami and Fathom. ChatGPT also surfaced small tools like SimpleData and 99dev.

@elavenil Good baseline. One caveat: a lot of AI-referred visits land as direct because some app links drop the referrer. Pair it with a check of whether you're named for your top buyer questions. https://t.co/oqaFAuU5Gp does that free.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@ethan_graphite Agree guessing is the weak spot. A free source most founders already have: sales call notes and support tickets. How customers phrase the problem before they buy is close to what they type into ChatGPT.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@cydelmg Interesting early read. Worth checking which pages the ChatGPT visits landed on. That usually tells you which question you're being named for, and that page is the one to keep sharpening.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@hrshlptel Love that. The niche phrasing is doing the work: 'AI tool for jewelry product shots' is narrow enough for a small tool to own. Worth checking the nearby questions too (rings, Etsy listings) to see if you show up there.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@Jacktalksmeta Product-level is right. Small add: put a budget or use case in each shopper question. Those are the ones that surface smaller stores, and the product page needs those facts (price, size, who it's for) as plain text.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@jainsahilX Love the full baseline. One more line worth adding: whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini name Xholic for your main buyer question. Then you can watch it move next to the Google numbers. Free check: https://t.co/oqaFAuU5Gp

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@wespreadjam Solid method. One addition: phrase some questions with a constraint ('under $20', 'for a solo founder'). Smaller brands tend to get named there, and those are usually the easiest answers to win first.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@PascalZeMarshal This is the part founders underestimate. One brand, no comparison. If you're not in that answer, you're not in the decision at all. Worth asking the question your buyers would ask and seeing who gets that one slot.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@TheSpacerr Good signal, and worth asking them what they typed. The exact question tells you which use case ChatGPT ties Koi to, so you can rerun it and see which pages it cites. Free check across all three engines: https://t.co/oqaFAuU5Gp

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@homoudalmonawer @jasonzhou1993 Agree. The answer shifts run to run, but a core set of cited pages keeps coming back. That core set is the outreach list. Anything cited once is noise until it shows up again.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@Poukyou Great breakdown. The comparison pages are the part small tools can copy fastest: honest 'us vs X' pages with plain pricing and who each one is for. Tally was also one of the most-named when we ran form builder questions on Oct 19.

[BotVouch @BotVouch]

@Yasha_br Building one too, so I feel this. Which pages did the engines cite most across those 348 answers? For that question it's mostly roundups, and getting onto the top few of those is probably the fastest route.
