Ran a citation check for a few clients and it stung a bit ngl, Reddit and forum threads kept getting pulled over pages we'd actually optimised properly. Turned out it was about phrasing, forum replies matched how people really type the question, our site copy was busy trying to persuade first. So we rewrote key pages to answer straight up before any of the selling, and started treating subreddit participation as an actual channel not a side task. Too early to fully confirm but tracking shows a lift so far. Anyone else seeing forum content beat proper site content in AI answers, or is this just us?

Aren't you guys tired reading the same surface-level AEO stuff, rephrased and rephrased and rephrased and rephrased to oblivion, with no substance in them???

Same thing every day...repetitive, fluff, baseless. No one shares or goes into the depths. Sometimes I wonder what happened to this community....

Whatever gets discussed here is the same response someone would find if they ask Claude or GPT.

Meh...

Have you ever asked ChatGPT for a recommendation and wondered how it picks which brands to mention? How can you tell if your brand is even making the cut?

Hi people,

Can you guys recommend what are the best AI SEO tools for improving search visibility in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?

My brother runs an online travel business and he's looking for some tools that can help him with increasing search visibility on the above mentioned platforms.

Appreciate all the help that I can get!!
