Was approached by our Growth team _(SEO and GEO (visibility in generative content - ChatGPT, Perplexity etc.))_ who see the value, and already see forum content being surfaced in GEO conversations. They have a wide range of content that they’re focusing on at the moment, and proposed ‘simulating’ topics within our forum, but in a way that externally, there at appears no different to any other conversation. For example, creating 5/6 accounts, and posting questions from these accounts, where we can then reply/encourage the community to reply from the normal ‘regular faces’ within the community. To me, at its core, this is no different to organic conversations and answers - except we are planting these conversations for the purpose of better SEO/GEO. Is this something others are doing? Is there anything I should think about before we go forward with this effort? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/thoughts-around-simulating-topics/377632)._
