What they did
Make videos about problems you have yourself, since the audience likely has them too, e.g. 'How do I rank on ChatGPT?', simply exploring the question and talking through your thought process (it doesn't even have to answer it). Once you solve it, the call to action is a simple link to your product (Local Rank).
