SEO for AI Tools That Want to Rank in Google and Be Cited by ChatGPT
You’re not just competing with other startups. You’re competing with ChatGPT’s own answers, Perplexity summaries, Gemini citations, and Product Hunt launches that go viral for a week… and vanish.
At Derivate X, we help AI tools get discovered across every major search surface: Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and even Reddit.
Whether you’re a generative video platform, a code assistant, or an AI-powered CRM, we help you win the visibility game across both traditional and AI search.
AI SEO ≠ Traditional SaaS SEO
Here’s what most AI startups get wrong:
- They publish “10 Best AI Tools” lists thinking it’ll work BUT LLMs ignore them.
- They obsess over Product Hunt but ignore Google and Reddit.
- They optimize for keywords but forget AI models don’t rank, they cite.
- They build great features, then rely on hope for distribution.
We fix that by creating LLM-optimized, SEO-fueled, context-rich content that gets you surfaced in:
✅ Google
✅ ChatGPT
✅ Gemini
✅ Perplexity
✅ Claude
✅ FutureTools
✅ Reddit threads
✅ YouTube explainers
✅ Prompt libraries
✅ Comparison posts
Our SEO Services for AI Tools Includ
SEO for FutureTools, Directories & Aggregators
You want to rank on FutureTools. Then you want to outrank FutureTools.
We help you do both by targeting long-tails, prompt surfaces, and curated roundups LLMs feed on.
Programmatic SEO That Feeds AI and Humans
From prompt libraries and “use cases by role” pages to feature breakdowns and template archives, we scale your content smartly so you never look thin, irrelevant, or spammy.
LLM SEO: Get Cited Inside ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity
We structure and optimize your brand’s presence so you’re cited when someone asks:
- “best ai tools for script writing”
- “alternatives to Jasper or Copy.ai”
- “which platform generates AI videos like Veo?”
- “top AI productivity tools for founders”
You don’t need backlinks to rank here. You need context. We engineer it.
Comparison, Alternative, and Workflow-Focused Content That Actually Converts
People don’t search for “AI” anymore. They search for:
- “best AI tool for Notion summaries”
- “Otter.ai vs. Airgram”
- “how to automate LinkedIn carousels with AI”
- “Claude 3 prompt library for storytelling”
We build content that answers real questions before ChatGPT does.
YouTube + Embedded Video SEO for AI Demos
You already have videos.
We optimize your YouTube presence, embed structure, and transcriptions to drive:
- Site traffic
