Each move targets a specific citation gap or perception fix surfaced above. Each is shippable in 2–6 weeks. We do this work in our optimization engagement, but every move below is something a competent in-house team can execute. 01 ### Win the ChatGPT-cited review sites high impact Why: ChatGPT's CRM citations cluster around 6 review sites (G2, TrustRadius, Software Advice, Capterra, GetApp, ProductHunt). Forge appears on 4 of 6. Missing: G2 'Mid-Market' grid and TrustRadius Top Rated badges. Move: Run a 60-day push to collect 40+ G2 reviews from the Mid-Market segment, focused on "easier than Salesforce" theme that already appears in current quotes. 02 ### Publish a benchmark page: Forge vs Pipedrive high impact Why: ChatGPT cites this comparison verbatim already. The current Forge site has no comparison page. Pipedrive owns the SERP for this query. Move: Ship /vs/pipedrive with a fair, data-backed comparison table. Add structured data (FAQ schema) for the top 8 questions LLMs ask in this comparison. 03 ### Fix the "steep at scale" objection medium impact Why: Perplexity's pricing summary names this objection. Currently no public Forge content addresses scale economics — only the per-seat sticker price is visible. Move: Add a /pricing/at-scale section showing TCO at 50, 100, 250 seats with annual discount math, custom-tier eligibility, and a comparison vs the cited competitors. 04 ### Plug the integration gap citation medium impact Why: Claude correctly cites Slack, Gmail, Linear integrations — but misses Notion, Asana, ClickUp which Forge also supports. LLMs cite what's prominent on /integrations. Move: Restructure /integrations into a tiered list with the 6 highest-search-volume integrations at top. Add an integration-specific landing page for each (current site has just a logo grid). 05 ### Seed the "reporting feels limited" perception fix medium impact Why: Google AI Overview's quote is mostly positive but plants this concern. The current product has shipped 3 reporting features in the last 6 months that aren't covered anywhere LLMs crawl. Move: Publish a reporting changelog page, get a written review from one of the cited tech publications (e.g., Tom's Guide for SMB CRMs), and surface customer reporting use-cases on the homepage. ## This was a fictional brand.
