Worth your time

There is something real in it. It may still carry a wrong number, and the note says so.

The caption, as Lan 🌊 AI startup friend wrote it on TikTok

It plays from TikTok, not from here. Nothing loads from them until you press the button, so reading this page sends them nothing.

Why it is graded that way

The point is simple: before any SEO, AEO or GEO work, make sure the site is indexed. That is right, and it is the cheapest step people skip. The Bing half is partly true. Bing Webmaster Tools imports a site straight from Search Console, and IndexNow pushes new pages to Bing. ChatGPT leaned on Bing’s index for years, but OpenAI now runs its own crawler too, so Bing is one way in, not the only one.

Checked against the original clip and, where it makes a factual claim, against whatever that claim leans on. If I have this wrong, tell me and I will fix the row and say what changed.
