Phantomstory charted July 21 (253 votes) selling a two-click third-party blog explicitly to win AEO, answer engine optimization, rather than search rankings, following OpenSEO's July 19 #1 finish (767 votes) as an open-source Ahrefs alternative (Product Hunt). Two launches in three days reframing the category away from SERP position. The marketing buyer already moved: the target is being cited by an assistant, not ranked by a crawler.
