quick one for anyone doing SEO or growth for clients.

i mean the grind of getting placed in listicles, roundups and comparison pages. finding the pages, digging up who maintains each one, personalized pitches, follow ups, tracking who answered and who actually placed you.

asking because clients started raising the "why doesnt ChatGPT mention us" question, and the answer mostly runs through exactly these pages. AI answers cite listicles and roundups far more than homepages.

so whats your stack? one tool that covers the whole flow, a mix of prospecting and email tools, or a spreadsheet you keep alive by hand? curious what holds up at real volume, hundreds of targets, not ten.

Honest question for this forum.

I save AI tool threads constantly. New model drops, someone's slick Cursor workflow, "10 tools that'll change everything." I open maybe one in twenty. And I still feel behind every single week.

Lately I think the problem isn't information, there's an ocean of it. The problem is that almost all of it tells you about AI instead of showing you. A thread describes a workflow. A launch video is scripted so everything works on the first try. None of it shows the real thing: the prompt someone throws away, the tool they reach for and why, the moment it breaks and how they dig out.

And that's the part that actually teaches you. Nobody got good at cooking from recipes or at chess from the rulebook. You get good watching people better than you do the real work.
