Jason Patel shared thisTomorrow, I'll tell you more about the citations that "ranking" on ChatGPT. Join me for my masterclass from 12-1 ET. Registration link in comments. If you’re a founder, marketer, or exec completely overwhelmed with GEO / AEO / AI SEO / whatever acronym you want to call it, this masterclass is for you. ⚡ What’s new in this masterclass? I’m crawling 50,000+ queries across B2B, e-commerce, and local businesses to uncover exactly what content is getting surfaced by ChatGPT. Then, I’ll: - Break down the citations that are winning. - Show you why it’s working. - Teach you how to build citations that help you win customers and visibility. ⚡ Why listen to me? I’m not another “SEO expert” popping up overnight. I risked my life savings to build my first company (acquired in 2023), where nearly 50% of our pipeline came through SEO. I’ve built a winning company with skin in the game. Now, I’m taking everything I know, plus fresh AI-search data, to show you how to win in this new era. 📊 Expect live data, real examples, and hard-earned lessons. ⏰ One hour. Fast-paced. Actionable.

Jason Patel shared thisI wear my wedding ring on a chain around my neck, like Frodo carried the One Ring, because I am a dork obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. My wife was shopping for a new LOTR ring for me when she saw this (and purchased). Well done Manly Bands. Going the extra mile on something as obscure as an FAQ section. Showing love to our pets + Showing love to our men and women in uniform 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Incredible brand marketing and a wonderful way to differentiate in a very competitive market. Most of all, it’s a high-leverage, efficient way to show love to your target market. Men love America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅and their furry critter family members. I am not associated with Manly Brands in any way. I am, however, associated with every fellow loser who is obsessed with The Lord of the Rings.

Jason Patel shared thisWow, we had a great turnout at my "GEO Masterclass: AI Search Made Stupid Simple" yesterday. Some key lessons and takeaways from live company breakdowns: - No SEO is not dying. It's transforming from Charmander into Charizard. People who tell you SEO is dying are playing the LinkedIn algorithm to get attention from you. It's rage baiting. Don't fall for it. A majority of good SEO practices work for GEO. I think GEO is going to 5-10x the size of the SEO market. - Round-ups and comparison articles do extremely well for citations. - Your company's home page should spell out what you do. Make it obvious. - Real-estate agents have a LOT to gain from Local GEO. Platforms like Zillow and Redfin reign supreme. But the key is that the #1 non-platform players in local markets are entirely beatable. For every ~300 queries run in a small geographic area (like a county), the "best-ranking" local, non-platform players have ~10 citations total. - Comprehensive articles that cut out the fluff and get straight to the point "rank" well for B2B companies with complex solutions. Stay tuned for the next masterclass in 2 weeks! --- Use Open Forge AI to get stupid-simple, instantly actionable AI search insights to outrank your competition and get in front of more customers.

Jason Patel shared thisYou are probably a damaged person if you start a business. You're probably completely insane if you start multiple businesses. Yet, here's a picture of multi-time founders from the PEF Community openly discussing our scars. Some great takeaways, summarized by Amir Kavousian 1. Success doesn’t look the same for everyone. We celebrate 9-figure headlines, but many of the happiest founders I know had “quiet” wins or are running profitable, durable businesses you’ll never see on TechCrunch or WSJ. 2. The recipe is boring and brutal: pick a real market, give it 100%, don’t quit. “996” isn’t the point (though it can help), but resilience and conviction are. 3. Most successful founders are serial. Company building is a lifestyle, not a one-time lottery ticket. 4. Distribution beats product purity. First-timers obsess features; second-timers obsess GTM, pricing, and repeatable motion. 5. Boring problems pay. Especially in security/compliance. Unsexy + Mission-Critical = Budget. 6. Trust is a feature. Reliability and security from day one open Fortune 100 doors (and keep them open). 7. Community is the ultimate unfair advantage. Founder peers shorten the feedback loop and the recovery time after setbacks. -- Avishai Sam Bitton Duncan McCall Guy Dvir John Daniels Ron Jacobson Sajag Agarwal Thanks for organizing, Simon Chan. If you're a founder who has financially exited a company you built, I strongly recommend the PEF Community. We have chapters all over the world.

Jason Patel liked thisBringing the team together in-person makes ALL the difference at a remote first company! It supercharges our culture and strengthens bonds that make it easier to collaborate virtually. We had a great offsite last week in Mexico City balancing strategic planning, brainstorming sessions and fun activities creating excitement and momentum heading into a busy holiday season.Jason Patel liked this✨ Last week, we hosted two #ShipposEverywhere offsites—one in Los Angeles and one in Mexico City—bringing together over 120 Shippos. Let’s start with Mexico City 🇲🇽 At Shippo, offsites aren’t just about seeing each other in person; they’re a business accelerator. We use the time to create the space to challenge assumptions, sharpen strategies, and leave with clarity. For our GTM teams, that meant rolling up our sleeves on operational excellence and supporting our partner growth. And of course, we made space for cultural connection too, from cooking classes to an unforgettable night at Lucha Libre 🤼♂️✨ When our people grow closer and sharper together, our business grows faster. That’s the real reason behind #ShipposEverywhere. Stay tuned for our LA highlights next! #LifeAtShippo #ShipposEverywhere #TeamShippo #Collaboration #Innovation #RemoteWork

Jason Patel liked thisJason Patel liked thisClients don’t need to be designers. They need to know how to give useful feedback. I teach this on day one. Because most projects don’t fail from bad design, they fail from unclear feedback loops. “Make it pop.” “I hate blue.” “Can we try something different?” These aren’t insights. They’re reactions. Here’s what I ask instead: Not → “Do you like it?” But → “Does this solve the problem?” Now we’re talking about the right things. Because now we’re evaluating against outcomes, not preferences. Here’s the framework I use with clients: ✔️ Start with the outcome. What should this page achieve in one sentence? ✔️ Name the audience. Who’s using it? What do they need to do next? ✔️ Call out the problem, not just your preference. Focus on what's unclear, missing, or confusing for users. ✔️ Bring evidence when you have it. User behavior beats opinion: heatmaps, user feedback, conversion data. ✔️ Write acceptance criteria before review. What must be true to ship? ✔️ Then decide. Suggest one change or a few clear options. Pick one and move forward. Unstructured feedback: “This feels off.” Constructive feedback: “This doesn’t communicate urgency to first-time users.” This clarity speeds up projects, aligns teams, and improves outcomes. #ProductDesign #UXDesign #DesignLeadership #ClientManagement #DesignProcess

Jason Patel liked thisJason Patel liked thisMeet Harvard scholar and living proof that your beginning doesn't determine your destination, Aurora Sky Castner. Aurora's story started in the most unlikely place: Galveston County Jail, where she was born during her mother's incarceration. Her single father picked her up as a newborn, and together they began a journey that would ultimately lead to the halls of Harvard University. At age 8, Aurora was matched with mentor Mona Hamby through a school mentorship program. That single piece of paper describing a little girl whose hero was Rosa Parks and who loved to read changed everything. Hamby helped Aurora get her first pair of glasses, took her for her first haircut, and eventually brought her to tour Harvard's campus. What makes Aurora remarkable isn't just overcoming adversity. She set her sights on Harvard in elementary school and never wavered. She graduated third in her class at Conroe High School with a perfect GPA, actively participated in health and science programs, and wrote a Harvard application essay that began with four powerful words: "I was born in prison." Aurora was accepted to Harvard, where she's now studying with plans to pursue law. She embodies the truth that circumstances shape us, but they don't have to confine us. Here's to Aurora for showing us that dreams paired with determination can overcome any obstacle, and to Mona Hamby for reminding us that every child deserves a champion, and that one caring adult can change a life forever. Note: This is the 33rd post of a weekly series I simply call 'people I admire.' I focus on creative, soulful leaders and humans who lift others up and make a real impact. Let me know in the comments who YOU admire. Let's shine some gratitude and focus on the ones who move us forward.

If you'll be in town, I invite you to join our opening rooftop event on Monday, the 6th, at 7:30 p.m. in Gran Via. We'll have Sangria (likely), and great stablecoin conversations (definitely!). https://luma.com/qeqojgmu If you'll be in town, DM me, I'd love to link up. Range #stablecoins
