Hey, Tom here š
Last week was a strange week.
A lot happened that marketers should know about. Here are the 5 biggest ā
#1
ChatGPT stopped citing Reddit š
Reddit used to be in 3.8% of everything ChatGPT cited.
Last week it dropped to⦠0.5% šŖ¦
An 86% collapse in one week.
What happened: ChatGPT changed how it searches. It now looks at official websites first. So when someone asks āhow much does Notion costā ā it quotes Notionās pricing page instead of a Reddit thread about Notion.
ā Your own website just became the #1 thing that gets quoted.
So make sure you have these 3 pages:
š° A pricing page with real numbers. ChatGPT canāt quote āContact usā.
š„ A ā[you] vs [competitor]ā page. Buyers ask AI to compare constantly. It quotes whoever wrote one :)
š An FAQ that answers each question in the first sentence. Use your customersā words.
Reddit is still cited when a real employee, with a real name, answers questions in big threads. That gets into AI chatbots now. Anonymous/fake accounts donāt.

You can now choose what your LinkedIn postās URL says š
LinkedIn builds every postās URL from your first line of text. If your hook is āso I was thinking this morningā and thatās your postās address forever.
Thereās a way to override it and set the URL yourself.
Most LinkedIn users have no idea it exists.
Why change the URL at all? š¤Ø
LinkedIn ranks well in Google, AI answers read Google, and the URL is one of the things machines look at when deciding what a page is about. Small signal, but you control it now.
Itās free to change and takes 3 seconds per post. Hereās exactly how ā
