Try promoting your project not with conventional SEO in search engines (GSC), but with the help of AI (chatgpt, perplexity, etc.). However, if you create a blog or articles on your website, they may not rank in AI chats. However, if you post the same content on other high-trust websites, these articles will appear in AI overviews within a week, including Google AI overviews. Along with the answer to the user's question, AI will take a link to your service from the article and offer it to the user. You can get much more traffic through gpt & perplexity than through Google search.

This aligns with what we're seeing too. LLMs often distrust new domains but will happily cite the same content if it appears on a platform they already trust (like Reddit, Medium, or established industry sites).

Another factor we've noticed is structured data (JSON-LD). If your own site has clear Schema markup for the Product/SoftwareApplication, it seems to help LLMs 'understand' the entity better, even if they don't rank the page itself for the query. It's like giving them a cheat sheet.
