How do you get ChatGPT to recommend your SaaS? (We built a tool to figure this out)

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

As search behavior is shifting, we noticed a frustrating problem: while analyzing competitors, we saw they were being mentioned way more in AI answers (like ChatGPT and Perplexity). We kept wondering what exactly determines whether a brand is mentioned inside an AI-generated answer.

Traditional SEO tools couldn't tell us how to get listed as an alternative to big competitors like Shopify or BigCommerce in AI-generated recommendations.

So, we built Genezio.

It’s an AI Visibility and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform that actually shows you how AI engines perceive your brand. We designed it to help founders and marketers answer the tough questions:

• Track Citations: You can see exactly which domains get cited when AI answers recommend tools in your category, so you can prioritize where you should get listed.

• Optimize Your Site: We help you figure out how to optimize your homepage and product pages so AI systems actually understand what you do.

• Deep Analysis: The tool specifically uses persona-based and multi-turn conversation analysis to see how follow-up questions change the AI's recommendations.

• Dominate "Top Lists": It helps ensure your company is mentioned when ChatGPT generates lists like ‘top CRM platforms for small businesses’.

We're just launching and would absolutely love your feedback.

Have you started tracking your product's visibility in LLMs yet? If you drop your SaaS link/category below, I’d be happy to run a quick query in Genezio and tell you what ChatGPT currently thinks about your brand!

Cheers
