💡 Generative AI SEO: The New Frontier of Being Found

Forget just ranking on Google…

In 2025, if you're not showing up inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Reddit threads, you're invisible to the next-gen searchers. (EEK. Even I need to do my homework!)

Welcome to Generative SEO where people don’t type into Google, they talk to AI to find answers, solutions, and brands like yours. (Even I go to chatgpt... )

🧠 So what is Generative AI SEO?

It’s how your business shows up (or doesn’t) in AI-generated answers, summaries, Reddit threads, and smart search tools like Perplexity.

Think:

“What’s a good AI-powered marketing agency for solopreneurs?”

“Who’s doing ethical AI fashion?”

“What companies help women use AI creatively?”

"Give me names of leading AI video artists and creators?"

"Tell me a leading cybersecurity and governance advisor"

If you’re not showing up when ChatGPT or Claude gets asked that… it’s time to change that.

👀 Try it at home: Ask ChatGPT about your brand!

Go into ChatGPT or Perplexity and type:

“What is [Your brand name]?”

“Who is [your name]?”

“What is [brand name] known for?”

💥 You’ll instantly see how you’re represented (or not) in the new SEO landscape.

🔧 How to Get Found in Generative AI:

Get featured on sites that GenAI indexes heavily. Think Reddit, Substack, Medium, Product Hunt, YouTube transcripts, podcast show notes, and trusted blogs.
Use your name and brand name consistently across all platforms. Don’t hide behind cute handles, use real names & clear titles.
Submit your sitemap to Perplexity & Claude.(Yes — just like Google, they crawl verified content.)
Use tools like www.generativeengineoptimized.com and check what AI says about your brand & track updates.
SEO your ChatGPT content. If you’re generating blog posts, social posts, or FAQs in ChatGPT, optimize it like you would for Google. Keywords, headers, links, and clean metadata matter.
Participate in communities like Reddit + LinkedIn Threads with good upvotes and context get indexed directly into AI training datasets and responses.

🎯 Tip:

Be human + consistent. GenAI doesn’t just read one page, it compiles from multiple mentions, links, and metadata to form a “brand story.” The more aligned your content is across platforms, the better you rank in answers.
