Google Now Omits Self‑promoted Brands From Listicle Citations

Mine Real Questions From Comments, Not Keyword Clichés
Ur competitors are Googling the same keywords as you. That's why those posts all look identical. I mine: • Reddit threads with 200+ comments • YouTube video comments • Client's customer support emails These reveal questions GKP can't. Write what people actually ask.
