About · algoholic.net

A lab for the algorithms that decide what gets cited.

algoholic.net is an independent lab building instruments for practitioners who work with AI search, GEO, and LLM citation patterns — not for spectators.

What this is

algoholic.net is a working lab — not a blog, not a portfolio. Every page here either runs a model, publishes a prompt, or shares the data behind one.

The tools are built from real practitioner work. When we solve a problem in the field and the solution is generalizable, we extract it, clean it, and ship it here. Free where possible, retainer-only where the data requires it.

We've been researching search algorithms since long before answers came from AI. That shift didn't change the question — it just made the answer harder to see without instruments.

Open by default

The instruments here come out of real practitioner work. When a method proves itself and generalizes, we extract it, harden it, and publish it — free where the data allows, retainer-only where it doesn't.

We publish the research behind the tools, not just the tools: the data, the methodology, the edge cases. If a finding changes how we build, it gets written up.

GEO and AI search are young fields, shaped in the open by a generous community of practitioners. We build on that work and try to give back in kind — no gates we don't need, no signup walls where a tool can simply run.

Timeline
Roots
Years of search-algorithm research. SEO experiments, ranking studies, audits, and keyword research — practitioner work, long before answers came from AI.
Shift
From links to answers. As results gave way to AI-generated responses, the work shifted to how those answers choose what they cite.
Build
algoholic.net. Extracting the instruments from client work into the open — free where the data allows, retainer-only where it doesn't.
Now
Now. GEO Trace, a Prompt Library growing daily, and more instruments in development.
