Want ChatGPT to recommend your SaaS?
1. Ask AI: "best [your category] tools"
2. Copy competitors it recommends
3. Paste to Ahrefs → Backlinks
4. Filter: "Best links" + Sort by "Page Traffic"
5. Find "Best X" listicles linking to them
Email them, you'll show up in ChatGPT!

@tibo_maker Where's the 73% from? Curious how blog posts were counted vs docs and forums

@tibo_maker Only if the AI can actually read the post. Glenn Gabe retested yesterday and 3 of 5 big assistants still saw just the menu and footer on JavaScript-rendered pages.

@tibo_maker Same. It’s amazing that incumbents have very little advantage here. Feels like a massive land grab.

@tibo_maker the 73% stat makes me curious if it's mostly listicles or any blog post. are you seeing chatgpt pull from your own blog or mostly third party roundups?

@tibo_maker Not sure if "blogging" is the right word to describe mass generated AI sharticles, but yeah it still appears to work...which is honestly surprising. But not so surprising since most people don't really write manually anymore.

@tibo_maker same pattern on my sites: AI sends people to blog and comparison pages, not the homepage. the catch is a lot of it shows up as 'direct' with no referrer, so most people are undercounting it. building something partly to fix exactly this

@tibo_maker Makes sense. AI tools need something to read, and a good blog post is still the easiest thing for them to find.

@tibo_maker Does this work for iOS apps too, or mostly SaaS? Curious if ChatGPT pulls from "best X apps" listicles the same way, or leans on App Store pages

@tibo_maker 73% of what ai looks at being blog posts is wild. chatgpt traffic skyrocketing on your apps tracks with that

@tibo_maker The ChatGPT 18% vs Claude 93% blog-citation split is the line I keep coming back to — same listicle, wildly different AI exposure. For your apps, are the ChatGPT citations mostly from those "Best X" listicles or from your own docs?

@tibo_maker the listicle play is just seo with a new audience. blogs aren't dead, they're now the training data

@tibo_maker Do the ChatGPT visitors convert differently from search visitors? I'd guess someone arriving from an answer already knows what they want, but curious what your numbers say.
