Look at that guys. Best SEO content generator. And there we are. Harbor. This has taken me about a month. And I'm going to show you in this video exactly how I did it. Okay, guys. So, I'm going to break down exactly how I did this in today's video. So, this is harbor seo.ai. This is a tool that I've been working on for a while now. This is my tool. I created it. And basically, it's an AI SEO content generator, which by the way, you can get founder pricing. I've unlocked founder pricing again. So, if you are interested in SEO, AEO, GEO, all of that stuff, go and check out harbor seo.ai.
There's a link in the description and in the pin comment. I've reopened up the founder pricing so you get more articles, unlimited websites, unlimited research runs, and you get six times article rollover. And this is for life. So, go and lock that in right now, guys. the writer. Recently, we massively improved it by introducing Sonnet 4.6. It's now much much better at writing and it includes FAQs at the bottom and also other things to help you rank in LLMs. Okay, guys. So, let's start to talk about how this was actually achieved. Now, I've been trying to do this for a very, very long time now.
to rank in LLMs. One of the first things I'd recommend you do is you make a load of videos like this one here. Now, this video did very, very badly on my channel, but the point of this video wasn't to actually do well on the YouTube channel. It was to help me rank in LLMs. So, the name is this free AI SEO content generator is absolutely insane. That name was specifically designed to help get picked up by Chad GPT and other LLMs. That was the whole point of this video, right? This video was not to do well on the channel.
I knew that it would do badly. I'm pretty sure I released on Christmas Day, so I or something like that. So, I knew that it would do really really badly, right? And then inside the video, all I do is I talk about how good Harbor SEO is. Again, not trying to rank on the channel. I knew this wouldn't rank well on the channel whatsoever. But you can see if you type free AI SEO content generator on Google, you can see that the video actually comes up. The video ranks for a lot of other stuff as well.
And what happens is LLMs do a search for free AI SEO content generator and they find this video, right? So if I do a live test here with Claude, so I'll just say find me uh the best. Let's say the best. Then we'll say online and then it should do a web search here. So yeah, web search. Best free AI SEO content generated tools. This might not pick up the YouTube video. I'm not sure how Claude works with YouTube. I'm pretty sure it will pick it up, but let's just see. So chat GBT SEO writing easel, which has just come out of nowhere for some reason.
I don't know how these guys are doing whatever they're doing. Yeah. So look, they're just writing load. Okay, so this gives me even more ideas to rank uh in LLM. So Har hasn't come up here. Um let's just try Chat GBT. Yeah, but these guys here, easel.ai, are suddenly just out of nowhere ranking everywhere. So I'm probably going to look a little bit deeper into their uh strategy and see if I can come up with something. Okay, so this isn't exactly coming up with what I wanted, but you can see here that this was picked up like this video.
This free AI content generator is absolutely insane. So, it does pick it up. It's just it didn't pick it up as a potential subject in this case. But with AI, if you do the same search 10 times, it comes up with different results anyway. So, that is also something to take note of. Okay. So, in practice, what does this actually look like? If I go to content, I go to shorts right here. What I recommend you do as of today is you make a you make a new channel about your business on YouTube and you start submitting YouTube shorts, YouTube videos for things like this for any keyword that you are trying to rank for.
Right? The reason I recommend you do shorts is because they're very very easy to make. Like you can make them in 10 seconds or you know a minute to 2 minutes whereas actual videos take a little bit longer. But you can also make long form videos if you want. But both rank on Google. And then what you should do is you should take those videos and you should put them everywhere and anywhere, right? So let's say you make a short, right? A YouTube short. You can then put that on Tik Tok, put that on LinkedIn, put that on Instagram as a story, put that on Facebook, put that here, put that there.
And then this is called distribution. What you're doing is you're increasing I haven't spelled that right. Distri I don't know how to spell distribution. I've lost. Honestly, LLMs are making me stupid. That's not how you spell distribution. I I need to start reading again. Jesus Christ. Distribution. Oh my god. Okay, I really need to start reading again. I used to be able to spell everything. Jesus Christ, I feel like such an idiot sometimes. Okay, so this is called distribution. And what we're doing is we are increasing our chances of being cited, right? Then what you should do is you should take those same concepts and make a like horizontal video.
So not vertical. Do the same thing, right? Post them on LinkedIn, post it on X, post it on Instagram, post it there, post it on Tik Tok that now has long form videos, right? This is all one keyword. Let's just say AI SEO content generator, right? And then you make blogs from the same thing. Then you do a press release to your website with the same thing. All of this increases your chance of being cited. The important thing is to be cited. The more places you are, the more chance you have of being cited by an LLM, which is why we write articles with Harbor as well in a very specific way with very specific keywords because it increases your chances of being cited by an LLM, which might not get you a click necessarily, but just to be cited by the LLM is a very strong signal to buyers that you are trustworthy.
Okay, let's say you've done all of this. What do you then do? So, if I go on my Reddit account and I just go on my profile. This is just a an alt account that I don't really care about, but you can see here I've been running Noxy, which um I'm not currently doing Noxy. Oh, apparently is still running. I thought I turned it off, but you can see what Noxy was doing was it was just commenting about two men, right? Just as as a test. But I did the same thing with Harbor as well, right?
So if I just search Harour SEO Reddit and then look what are the best AI tools for writing better SEO content and then I commented I would suggest Harbor SEO as one of the best AI SEO content generators/writers on the market. What happens then is this website comes up or this page comes up. So, uh, best AI writing tool, right? This one here. What is actually the best AI writing tools right now, local and online? The best AI writing tool, in my opinion, is Harbor SEO comment. There we go. Bang. There's another one. So, you just keep doing this over and over and over.
You go in here, for example, you leave a comment here. You go here on Substack, if you can leave a comment. I don't know how Substack works. You go on Cura, you do the same thing. You leave a comment. You just keep pushing these things out. You keep getting in more and more places. The more websites where you're mentioned, the more chance you have of getting cited, right? It's like the old days of SEO. Literally, just spam everything. Um, not too much though. Don't go don't go too over the top. I would say like one to two comments on Reddit every day, for example.
Two to three to four Cura answers a day. So, some good websites are uh Reddit, Cura, Medium, LinkedIn. Oops. Um, these are all really, really good for like posting your own content to your own website obviously. Uh, you need a lot of blogs here. Um, you know, just start pushing out content everywhere and then eventually you will start to see that you start to get cited by LLMs. But the cool thing is if you do all of this as well, your search console will also start to go up just naturally because of getting back links, getting mentions, brand mentions, EAT and all that good stuff.
So it's double-sided. You're doing SEO and AEO at the same time, guys. This is how you get cited in LLM. You just need to get yourselves on the web as much as possible. A lot of this is manual work as well. And if you do need help writing blogs, etc., go and check out Harbor, which will give you that little bit of extra help getting you ranked in LLMs. I'll leave the video there, guys. Thank you so much for watching. If you are watching all the ends of the video, you're absolutely legend. Happy Easter, and I'll see you all very, very soon with some more content.
Peace out.
