SEO work of about 20 hours a week handed to one AI agent that gets you named in AI answers

self-reported

Work that took about 20 hours a week (his estimate) is now done by one AI agent, and nobody on his team does SEO, AEO or GEO. In August, 3 AIs named his business first in 4 of 11 answers. In October, Google's AI answer named it 2nd for its main search. Each check costs about a cent.

Ly Viet Vu, who has had 4 exits including an agency sold to WPP, built one AI agent with one job: get his business named first when customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google where to buy. Every Monday it asks those AIs the questions customers ask, notes which websites the answers trust, writes the listings and pitches for those sites, keeps his pages in the shape AI likes to quote, briefs a person when a job needs a human, and reports with one chart and one decision.

Try it now

  1. Write down 3 to 10 questions your customers ask before they buy, in their words.
  2. Every Monday, ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google those questions and note who gets named and which sites are cited.
  3. Make the cited sites your hit list: get listed, pitched or reviewed on each one.
  4. Fix your own pages: the answer first, your name and city in the first line, a number only you have, and a date.
  5. Keep one chart of how often you're named, and make one decision a week from it.
Copy-paste prompt
Here are the questions my customers ask before buying: [list]. Ask each one of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google in [city/market]. For each answer, record: who was named first, whether my business [name] was named, and every website cited. Then give me a hit list of the cited sites, sorted by how often they appear, with how to get listed on each.

Make it run every week

A play works once. Turn it into a routine in three small steps:

  1. Run it once and check the result yourself.
  2. Give your AI a schedule. Tell it when to run this play (every week, or every month) and to message you with what it found before you act.
  3. Keep a log. One line per run: what was checked, anything flagged, what you did.

What to watch out for

Self-reported, and the 20 hours a week is his own estimate. AI answers change often, so track the same questions over time instead of trusting one check. Write every listing yourself or check it before it goes up. Build it with Page: pages written the way AI likes to quote, with your answer first.

    Use Claude shot guides to record 30 to 40 videos in half a day

    self-reported

    30 to 40 videos for ads, Instagram Reels and YouTube recorded in half a day, with every setup mapped in advance and results tracked by leads, booked calls and sales.

    Mubbu co-founds an agency that runs personal brands for 60+ founders. Recording days used to need a lot of thinking on the spot. Now every script is done before recording day and each video gets a shot format. Claude has a full map of their office, so each shot guide says exactly where the camera, laptop, lights, mic and person go. The content lead and creative director batch similar setups, he walks in and follows the guide, and finished clips go straight to editing. They track which videos drive leads, booked calls and sales, and rerecord the winners.

    Have a Grok Bot build a custom demo overnight before your sales call

    self-reported

    A free consult booked at 10pm for noon the next day. He told his Grok Bot "let it rip" and went to bed. By 7am it had built a demo using the prospect’s own videos, and he closed a $2,000 deal on the call. Compute was about $28, covered by plans he already pays for.

    Mitchell Moses runs Operator Zero, which sets up AI systems for businesses. A prospect who edits his own short videos booked a free AI assessment and wrote on the form that his cuts left dead space. Mitchell’s main Grok Bot passed the job to a planner bot, which split it into tasks for coding agents on his existing plans. They pulled the prospect’s own shorts and re-cut them with his style. A separate reviewer agent on a different model checked the work and sent a failed test back for fixes. On the call he showed the before and after, and the prospect said it was urgent. In another case, a demo built in about 3 hours after a meeting with a government contractor got him a walkthrough with the client’s boss.

    Replace your agency’s CRM subscription with one you build on Claude

    self-reported

    His own AI-native CRM costs about €100 a month to run, mainly Claude API calls. Dropping the old CRM saves at least €17,000 a year.

    Tino Ferreira runs Rect Solutions, a recruitment agency, and HiCalibre. He sent notice to his company CRM that they won’t renew, after building his own CRM with only the features his team actually uses. He says it runs on about €100 a month, mostly Claude API calls, and saves €17k a year at minimum.
