The secret to ranking in ChatGPT? One directory website per industry. We tracked 30 industries - here's what we found 👇 #ChatGPT #SEO #BusinessTips #AISearch #Marketing
If you want to get recommended by ChatGPT or Google's AI mode, one of the most important factors is showing up in listicles. These are pages like 10 best blank in your city or 10 best blank in your industry. I wanna talk about the easiest way to get mentioned in the listicles that matter.
Because that's the thing. There are hundreds of listicles that are relevant to your business, but only a small percentage of those are being cited. Most of the time someone asks about your product or service.
So let me break it down. There's really two ways that these listicles come into the world. One is that someone actually writes the listicle and puts it to their blog or maybe AI writes it.
It doesn't matter. However, most listicles are generated algorithmically by a directory website. These are directories like Yelp or clutch or if you're a lawyer, Justia.
We've been tracking what websites ChatGPT and Google's AI sites across 30 different industries. And 90% of the time there's one directory that AI is obsessed with, but it's different for every industry. And what's important to understand is that even though the AI is looking at dozens of listicles from this website, they're all generated from the same algorithm.
So if you know how the algorithm works, you can improve your ranking in all the directories simultaneously. So in about half of these directories, it's just reviews. It's either your total number of reviews or more often how many reviews you received recently.
So we had one client that just had to get 3 extra reviews on clutch and was immediately being recommended by ChatGPT. The other half of directories have some different algorithm, for example, and Justia rankings are mostly determined by how many questions you answered on their website. Justia also, along with other
t algorithm, for example, and Justia rankings are mostly determined by how many questions you answered on their website. Justia also, along with other directories, will let you pay for premium listings, which automatically put you at the top of the rankings. So I recommend using a tool we use Peak Dot AI, determine what that one directory is that ChatGPT loves in your industry and figure out how to start climbing the rankings.
Listicles can matter for ChatGPT or Google AI Mode recommendations, but only a small share of relevant listicles may be cited.
Track which listicles are actually cited for buyer prompts before pursuing broad listicle outreach.
