Controlling AI Search: A Practical GEO Tactic for Indie Developers
tibo_maker · x · 2026-08-07
As AI assistants like ChatGPT rely on search engine results to answer user queries, businesses need to proactively manage their search presence.
The author shares a simple, effective GEO/SEO tactic:
- Search Test: Google "yourcompany reviews." The first-page results are likely what AI models use to evaluate your brand.
- Own the Query: Buy a relevant domain (e.g., yourcompany-reviews.com) and publish authentic customer reviews.
- Content Strategy: Include names, dates, sources, and even constructive criticism to build credibility.
- Indexing: Link to this review page from your main site to guide Google and AI models to a source you control.
The author applied this to their own project, launching a page with 22 verified reviews to test its impact on AI search results.
