How to Rank in 'Best Tools for X' Prompts

Ask ChatGPT:

“Best tools for writing blog posts fast”
“Best AI tools for solo founders”
“Best software for brand visibility in 2025”

These buying prompts are replacing Google search—and if your brand isn’t in the list, you’re not in the conversation.

So how do you get in?

With structured content + prompt-tested visibility = GEO done right.

Why These Prompts Matter
