ChatGPT just replaced Google. Stay cited or get ghosted.

Welcome to the jungle, baby! You're not gonna die, but your dusty SEO strategy might.

Search engines used to be your north star. Now they’re simply the guide, the narrator, the bouncer... and the ad. All the ads. So much ads. You don’t climb the ranks anymore. You either get cited or you get buried. Or you pay. Maybe you climb the mountain and ask the oracle of ChatGPT. And what is that feeling? Ah, your Google bias is fading. I can see it from waaaaaaaay over here...

Buckle up. This is the new era of AI search. Does “who’s on page one” even matter anymore? Or is it “who did the AI think was worth mentioning?” perhaps it how many time you were cited online.

Spoiler: If you’re not in the articles bots are scraping, summarizing, and regurgitating…. you might as well be with Harry Potter undertone cloak of invisibility.

Backlinks? Boring. Slapped on Ads? We skip ‘em. You need features. Real ones. Content that tells a story around your product. The kind that slap your name in bold and give the robots a reason to remember you. Think curated roundups, interviews, pull quotes, hell, even non sensical gossip if it gets you inked and linked.

So yeah, when SetHero dropped their roundup of Richmond’s Best Video Companies, you better believe we kicked the door in and claimed a seat. Not just for the clout (though let’s not lie, it feels good), but because that’s how you stay visible in a world where ChatGPT might be your next homepage / search engine / researcher.

AI doesn’t discover you. It inherits you.

Be the source. Be the story.

Or be forgotten. Lost in time, like teardrops in the rain.
