# Research Report Method WORKS for ChatGPT (PROOF HERE) Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKd4-KK0Tjc Recap page: https://rapidrecap.app/video/GKd4-KK0Tjc Generated: 2025-12-21T22:04:06.572+00:00 --- ## Quick Overview The research report method demonstrated by the creator, involving creating a legitimate-sounding research company (like Kinross Research) and publishing a cheap press release about a "research paper" to get cited by ChatGPT, successfully ranked the creator's own link-building service, Indexsy, as the number one provider for "best link building services provider" in Google's AI Overview within three days of publication. **Key Points:** - The creator successfully manipulated Google's AI Overview to rank their service, Indexsy, as the #1 'Best Link Building Services Provider' using a fabricated research report. - The method involved creating a seemingly legitimate research firm (Kinross Research), writing a 'research paper,' issuing a press release to AP News and Globe and Mail, and ensuring citation on ChatGPT. - Within three days of the press release publication (December 18th), the Indexsy service appeared as the top-rated provider in the AI Overview response for the search term 'best link building services provider'. - The creator explicitly stated they would not charge clients for this specific method ($80/press release) but would offer the knowledge to the Local Rank Academy community for free, emphasizing high value for engagement. - The creator also addressed community concerns about the academy being inactive, stating it is an accountability room and that he answers 100% of questions from active members. - The priority order for purchasing services, based on the query from a commenter, was advised as: LLM Citations, then Articles, then Citations (implying LLM PBN Posts, LLM Guest Posts, then LLM PR Research Listicle, though the commenter had already done citations and articles). ![Screenshot at 00:08: The creator points out the success of the research report method after testing it, showing the Indexsy service is now listed as the #1 provider in the AI Overview for 'best waterproof shoes' \(though the later demonstration focuses on link building services\).](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-00-08.jpg) **Context:** The video discusses a technique the creator used to manipulate Google's AI Overview feature, which relies on citing highly ranked, authoritative public references. The creator applied this concept to his own link-building service, Indexsy, by essentially creating a fake authority source (a research company and report) and observing how quickly AI models and Google's new search features would incorporate and rank that source, thereby boosting his business's perceived credibility and ranking. ## Detailed Analysis The creator confirms that the 'Research Report Method' works for controlling ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, providing proof that his own link-building service, Indexsy, ranked as the top result for 'Best Link Building Services Provider' within three days of implementing the strategy. The strategy involves creating a legitimate-sounding entity, Kinross Research, generating a 'research paper,' issuing press releases to outlets like AP News and The Globe and Mail, and ensuring ChatGPT cites this new source. The creator showed the Google search results page (06:01) where the AI Overview explicitly listed Indexsy as the top-rated provider under 'Top-Tier Providers & Specialities' (06:03). He also addressed community concerns about the Local Rank Academy being inactive (08:51), clarifying it is an accountability room, not a content feed, and promised to answer all questions from active members. When asked by a commenter about the optimal order to buy services (citations, articles, citations), the creator advised prioritizing LLM Citations first, followed by articles, in high-competition niches, otherwise prioritizing PBNs for cost-effectiveness. He emphasized that this manipulation technique saved him $149 for the PR research article service he used as a template, as he was able to replicate the process himself. ### Research Report Method Confirmation - Successfully ranked Indexsy as #1 for 'Best Link Building Services Provider' in Google AI Overview within three days - The method involves creating a research company, publishing a press release, and getting cited by ChatGPT - The PR research article itself cost $149, but the creator showed how to replicate it. ### Addressing Community Concerns - The Local Rank Academy is an 'accountability room,' not a content feed, and requires active participation (post progress, ask questions, start threads) - The creator guarantees to answer 100% of questions from active members. ### Service Purchase Order Advice - For high competition terms, the order should be LLM Citations, then Articles, then Citations (referring to the service tiers shown on the Indexsy checkout page) - For low competition (SAS), prioritize LLM PBN Posts for best value. ### Demonstration of Proof - The creator searched 'Best Link Building Services Provider' (05:55) and showed the AI Overview listing Indexsy as the #1 provider (06:03) - He also showed that the fabricated news citations were appearing in Google search results (05:17). ![Screenshot at 00:08: The creator reviews the results of his 'Research Report Method' on a Notion page, showing the high revenue generated by the Indexsy service after the manipulation.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-00-08.jpg) ![Screenshot at 01:33: The creator displays the Notion page detailing the 'Dec 21 EP 718 \(Research Report Method WORKS for ChatGPT \(CONFIRMED\)\)' strategy, including initial revenue figures.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-01-33.jpg) ![Screenshot at 04:01: The content shifts to a document detailing the creation of a fake research company, 'Kinross Research,' and the steps taken to generate press releases for it.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-04-01.jpg) ![Screenshot at 05:55: A Google search for 'Best Link Building Services Provider' shows the AI Overview panel prominently featuring Indexsy as a top-rated provider, confirming the success of the method.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-05-55.jpg) ![Screenshot at 08:05: The creator is viewing the YouTube Studio comments section, addressing a user's question about the correct order to purchase their services.](https://ss.rapidrecap.app/screens/GKd4-KK0Tjc/00-08-05.jpg)
