BREAKING: Today, we witnessed the future of marketing.
Introducing Citation Outreach
A profitable company can add +$3M/month just by getting recommended by ChatGPT. 12 months ago nobody believed this was possible.
Here's what changed:
People don't Google anymore. They ask ChatGPT.
"What's the best tool for [Category]?"
"Which [Category] tool/service should I use?"
ChatGPT gives them 3 or 4 names. Those brands get the customer. Everyone else doesn't exist.
So how does ChatGPT pick those names?
It reads what other websites say. Listicles, comparisons, reviews, how-to guides. The brands that keep getting mentioned there are the ones it recommends.
Citation Outreach gets your brand mentioned on those exact websites.
We find them, reach out to the people who run them, and get your brand offsite mentions. Fully done for you.
You just watch your brand start showing up in the answers.
This is absolutely insane.
A brand followed the advice in this post and generated more than $25,000 in revenue from ChatGPT driven traffic
How to get ChatGPT to recommend your brand, step by step (the citation outreach process)👇
The process is called Citation Outreach
It is getting your brand mentioned on the websites ChatGPT already reads and trusts, so when people ask it "what's the best X," it says your name
Step 1: Write down what your customers ask
-> List 10-20 questions people would ask AI before buying, like "what's the best app for X?"
Step 2: Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI those questions
-> Each answer shows the links it used. Save every link
Step 3: Repeat for a few weeks
-> You'll see the same 10-20 articles keep showing up. These are the articles AI trusts in your niche
Step 4: Pick the ones that mention competitors but not you
-> That's your target list. Don't worry if the site is small. If AI keeps quoting it, it matters
Step 5: Start with the "Top 10" lists
-> Articles like "10 best tools for X" are the easiest to get added to, and AI quotes them a lot
Step 6: Find the writer
-> Check the author bio, the site's contact page, or find them on LinkedIn or X
Step 7: Send a short, personal message
-> Mention their article by name, say what you liked and explain why your product fits in it
Step 8: Give them a reason to say yes
-> Small bloggers will often add you for free access to your product. Bigger sites usually charge $200 to $2,000+
Step 9: Check if AI starts naming you
-> Once the mention is live, ask ChatGPT the same questions again. You'll also rank higher on Google because you got a real link
Step 10: Keep the list fresh
-> The articles AI reads keep changing, so go back to Step 2 every week and add new ones

BREAKING: Today, we closed the chapter on traditional marketing.
I just witnessed a citation on the right site erase a $17M competitor in 158 seconds.
This is beyond insane.
one of the biggest shifts in marketing is happening right now:
a startup can compete with companies 100x its size in AI search
most businesses still haven't realized what this means
Wild that a one man agency can outperform 8 and 9 figure companies on AI search right now
Digital real estate free for the taking

Introducing Citation Outreach
A profitable company can add +$3M/month by ranking in ChatGPT and Claude. 12 months ago nobody believed AI search could drive this much revenue.
This is absolutely insane.
How it works:
1. We find the pages AI models cite for your buying questions
2. We reach out to the people who own them
3. We negotiate and close offsite mentions for your brand
The mention gets you named and ranked in AI answers.

I look at AI citations all day. These are the 5 AI SEO myths I see the most:
1/ "Good backlinks = good AI visibility"
Nope.
Citations double as backlinks. Backlinks don't double as citations.
2/ "Just go hard on Reddit"
Moderation is brutal now.
I wouldn't build an AI visibility strategy on Reddit at scale.
3/ "I'll just pay for it like ads"
You can't. (Yet.)
You show up by being on the pages AI already cites.
4/ "High DR links will fix it"
AI doesn't care about DR. It doesn't even know what DR is.
What works:
→ find the questions your buyers ask AI
→ pull the sources AI cites in those answers
→ get links on exactly those pages
5/ "GEO and AEO are a whole new thing"
It's all SEO.
What changed is where you put your effort.
Bonus: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini all cite different sources.
If you're not tracking per model and per prompt, you're guessing... ciao
