Promoting my service in chatgpt search and perplexity?

[Yez16]

Hello everyone. I have a question about promotion in AI chatbots. I read a couple of articles and watched a video on this topic, one question remains. Since the main ranking factor (external ranking factor) is the lists in which your service is included, you need to increase their number. Maybe someone tested this, do such articles work from one source. Let's say I have a lot of accounts in Medium and Dev.to, and I will start making articles on them, where I will put my service in first place, for the necessary queries. This will not work in Google, if many pages refer to one URL from one domain, but does this work in AI chatbots?

Technically it can work, but you need to consider where exactly the data for training large models comes from (some other models are trained from existing models, like DeepSeek). Some services may not allow AI training based on data from a website, so publishing to them won't do you any good. The only thing is that it would take a lot of posts and time for the AI to start giving your product as an answer. But it's a really interesting approach. Let me know if you can get results

What are you talking about, I can’t understand, where did I talk about ads?

If your talking about the search feature, it seems to just use google. Googling the same query gives the same sources (minus sponsored results) that are seen in OpenAI's search sources tab. I see alot of reddit threads in there. Maybe try using various "search" prompts in ChatGPT related to your service and see if it brings up any reddit threads. Then bot a few comments on those threads to the top of the comments to have them appear in its context.

As for training, I doubt your articles will make it through whatever post processing OpenAI does. Shitty articles is exactly what they dont want to train on. Good chance they deduplicate text too, so each segment referencing your product would have to be diverse. Not viable imo over traditional SEO.

Not exactly an ad, but being mentioned when someone asks for a relevant service in a specific niche.

You haven't searched enough in chatgpt search and perplexity. The results there are completely different from Google and Bing. I studied the essay topic, they have been using it for a long time, there can be up to 300-400 articles on the same topic, like a top essay writing service, for one service. And there is very serious competition in Google, while in chatgpt and perplexity (in this topic, the emphasis is on perplexity, since there is clearly less content filtered there) there is a different search result and companies. You can read the relevant articles, this is now called GEO, not SEO. In a nutshell, the main factor of external ranking is ratings and articles with tops. Yes, and if you have some kind of SaaS product for promotion, look at how many backlinks there are from articles with tops. Even before all the AI chatbots, links from similar articles were placed on services. I looked at competitors' backlinks a couple of years ago, and 50-60% of articles are top articles (and now they use top articles even more). This is why some services can rank in Google and ChatGPT Search equally. Study very competitive niches and look at the link mass, and compare Google and AI chatbots, their results.

It sounds like you're really diving into the nitty-gritty of promoting your service in the AI space. From what I've seen, AI chatbots might be a bit different from traditional search engines. Since they often pull from a variety of sources, having multiple articles on platforms like Medium or Dev.to could potentially help boost visibility if you're strategic about it. Just make sure the content is high-quality and relevant, and it might just help you get noticed! Have you tried any specific strategies yet? Would love to hear how it goes!

I've been making similar content on Medium and Dev.to for a couple of weeks. There are no results yet, but my site is pretty weak in terms of external links. But I look more at Perplexity, its bot goes everywhere and indexes everything it sees. And you can send it a link from the Internet and it will tell you on the fly what the text is about. I think it's much harder to promote something in Chatgpt Search.

It can definitely be tough to see results, especially when external links are low. Perplexity sounds interesting—having a bot that indexes everything must give it a unique edge. I get what you mean about promoting in ChatGPT Search; it feels like you have to navigate a bit more to get visibility. Keep at it, though! Sometimes it just takes a bit of time for everything to click into place.

Mainly because Chatgpt uses strong sources only. which means common websites

It is not clear at all what he chooses as a strong source? Perhaps he also counts links. I just don't really understand how you can understand that a source is reliable without links? In fact, all articles with the best tools are the same links. It's just not a hyperlink, but a mention.
