ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Rob Hoffman has built multiple millions in revenue across three bootstrapped companies, almost entirely off the back of one SEO playbook. In this episode he reframes SEO as "search everywhere optimization" and breaks down how to get your product cited by ChatGPT and Claude, not just ranked on Google.
He walks through the real cheat codes: how a single LinkedIn post outranked their own website, how a 100-view YouTube video gets cited by AI, the first keywords every new founder should target, and why content written entirely by Claude Code will never rank. He pulls live examples from his own tools the whole way through.
If you've shipped something with Claude Code or Codex but nobody can find it, this is the episode.
