How to get Claude to recommend your app

That's our own agency, so take it with the salt it deserves. It's also the cleanest proof we have that this works on Claude, because we did it on ourselves before we sold it to anyone.

Here's what we learned about getting an app recommended by Claude specifically.

How Claude decides what to name

Claude answers from two places. What it learned in training, and, when web search is on, the pages it pulls live for that question and cites in the answer.

Training data moves slowly. Live search moves every week. So the work splits in two. Be on the pages that get crawled and quoted for a long time (Reddit, best-of lists, review sites, press), and have pages on your own site that answer the question so plainly that Claude can quote them.

Claude also tends to hedge. It likes to say why it recommends something and who it's for. If nothing on the web says who your app is for in one plain sentence, Claude has nothing to quote.

1. Write the sentence you want Claude to say

Before any pages or posts, write the one sentence you'd want in the answer. Ours is "Agniverse Media is UGC management for consumer apps, run by the people who built and sold one." Name, category, who it's for, why trust it.

Then put that sentence, nearly word for word, on your homepage, your about page and every profile you control. Engines repeat what they see repeated.

2. Ask Claude your users' real questions

Use full questions, the way people type them. "What's the best app to plan a trip with friends on a budget?" Ask each one with web search on and off. Write down which apps get named and which pages get cited.

The cited pages are your target list.

3. Get onto the pages Claude cites

AI answers are built from other people's pages. If your app isn't on them, it isn't in the answer.

For an AI dating app we work with, that meant Reddit. Its name is one letter off the word "dating", so engines kept folding it into the generic word. 901 links from reddit.com in under 30 days later, AI engines describe the actual product.

4. Build pages that answer one question each

Comparison pages, "best X for Y" pages and plain FAQ pages get quoted because they match how people ask. Put the answer in the first lines, with real numbers in plain text, not inside an image.

5. Re-ask every two weeks

Models update and new pages get indexed. We re-run the same question set every two weeks and track who got named, who got cited and what moved.

Start this week

1. Write your one sentence: name, category, who it's for, why trust it.
2. Put it on your homepage, your about page, your App Store description and your LinkedIn and X bios.
3. Ask Claude your 15 questions with web search on and off, and record both sets of answers.
4. Re-run them in two weeks and see what changed.
