How Besmir Bregasi Built ZeroRank in 3 Months and Reached Mid-Six Figures in ARR

In this episode, Jared Bauman talks with Besmir Bregasi, founder of ZeroRank, about what is driving LLM citations in 2026 and why Reddit, X, YouTube, and fresh off-site mentions matter so much. Besmir shares ZeroRank data on user-generated content, local AI visibility, and the on-site factors that still support citation potential.

He also explains how ZeroRank's first version was built in three months, grew past 1,000 customers through AppSumo, and reached mid-six figures in ARR. They also discuss AppSumo economics, recurring revenue, referrals, affiliates, and ZeroRank's next growth phase.
