Product Hunt AI Visibility Audit
Will AI assistants know your product exists after launch?
You've spent weeks prepping a Product Hunt launch — hunters, assets, a launch-day plan. Most checklists skip one question: once the launch-day traffic fades, will ChatGPT even know your product exists when someone asks for alternatives? Product Hunt pages often show up as sources in AI answers — so listing quality can matter beyond launch-day upvotes — but results vary by category and engine.
Run it before AND after you launch
Audit before launch to get your baseline — usually near zero for a brand-new product, and that's expected. Then re-run the same prompt set a week or two after launch, once your Product Hunt page, any press, and early reviews have had time to get indexed and picked up by these models' web-search plugins. The diff tells you whether the launch actually moved your AI visibility, not just your PH ranking for a day.
What the report highlights for a launch
Beyond the standard mention/recommendation/citation rates, the source-gap section specifically surfaces whether competitors are being cited from Product Hunt, G2, or Reddit threads you haven't shown up in yet — and the action plan will flag a Product Hunt listing rewrite or submission as a concrete, high-priority item when the data supports it.

FAQ
When should I run this — before or after launching?
Both, ideally. Before launch to get your baseline (usually low or zero for a brand-new product), and again a week or two after launch once your Product Hunt page and any press have had time to get indexed.
My product isn't on Product Hunt yet — is this still useful?
Yes. The report will likely show a competitor's Product Hunt listing as one of the top cited sources for your category, which is itself a strong signal that submitting a complete, keyword-rich listing of your own is a high-leverage action.
Does the audit cover more than Product Hunt?
Yes — the free audit checks ChatGPT across ~20-30 buyer-intent prompts, of which Product Hunt-related source gaps are one specific, common finding for early-stage products. A one-time upgrade adds Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok on the same prompt set.
