Tactics you can copy

  1. 01List the product in SaaS directories and launch sites to trade directory traffic for early exposure
  2. 02Package 'being cited by AI search and LLMs' as the pitch, riding the GEO concept for positioning
Moving it to an AI business

AI tool builders can copy the positioning move: tie your product's value to a new channel like 'getting your customers cited by AI search' rather than generic SEO. Be aware exposure results are hard to quantify, so nail pricing and renewal design up front.
