How to improve Hubspot's score

Each engine rewards different signals. Engine-by-engine playbook below — the same one we run with paid pilots.

ChatGPT (currently 52%)

Memory-led. Slow to update but durable once you're in. Buy your way in via authority sites, not on-page.

  1. Earn 25+ verified G2 reviews this quarter — biggest single ChatGPT lever.
  2. Land 2 mentions in a top-50 Substack newsletter in your category.
  3. Do 3 podcast appearances on shows with searchable transcripts.
  4. Make sure Hubspot's Wikipedia entry is current and well-cited (or create one).
  5. Post one HN-quality launch (Show HN, milestone, post-mortem) per quarter.

Claude (currently 50%)

Narrative-aware. Fastest engine to reward thoughtful brand positioning. Highest-leverage if you're under 50%.

  1. Publish 2 long-form (2,500+ word) category-defining posts. Claude over-cites depth.
  2. Write a public technical or strategic manifesto — Claude rewards stance.
  3. Make sure your About page clearly states who, why, and the bet.
  4. Get founder LinkedIn active (2x/week, technical commentary).
  5. Avoid superlatives in copy — Claude penalizes 'best-in-class'; rewards specifics.

Perplexity (currently 31%)

Retrieval-led, recency-biased. Score moves within 2–3 weeks — fastest feedback loop.

  1. Publish or refresh dated comparison pages (Hubspot vs top 3 competitors).
  2. Get listed on every aggregator in your category (G2, Capterra, ProductHunt).
  3. Make sure your sitemap and lastmod dates are honest and recent.
  4. Add author bylines and dates to all content. Perplexity weighs them.
  5. Get cited by one Substack/Medium post per month — even small ones move the needle.

Google AI Overviews (currently 36%)

Conservative. Leans on Gartner, G2 Top-N, Forrester. Slowest to move — treat as 6–12 month compounding asset.

  1. Get into G2's Top-10 in your category (single biggest AIO lever).
  2. Implement Schema.org SoftwareApplication + Organization + Offer with explicit price.
  3. Earn featured-snippet rank for 3–5 buyer-intent queries (still feeds AIO).
  4. Pitch trade publications (TechCrunch, The Information, Stratechery).
  5. Get into a Gartner or Forrester report. Even 'Mentioned in' tier moves AIO.
