Keep one dated, sourced growth page for 2026, and send its numbers to the rankings AI cites.

Subject: One small update to our site: keep one dated growth page

Hi,

PursueATL is running a public project to improve how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity describe Atlanta. We are taking part, and one small change would help.

The change: Keep one dated, sourced growth page for 2026, and send its numbers to the rankings AI cites.

Suggested heading: Atlanta tech growth, 2026

What to put on it:
- The figures the national rankings ask for: venture dollars, deals, tech jobs, new companies, relocations.
- A source on every figure, and the date.
- A short note on how each is counted.

Where it goes: One page on our own domain, updated monthly, and sent to the rankings AI cites: StartupBlink, Startup Genome, CBRE, Carta.

Why it matters: today, 0 of 40 answers about which US hubs are rising recommend Atlanta. AI recommends from what it reads, and plain text on our own site is what changes that.

Time: Half a day, then monthly. When it is live, send me the link so we can be counted on the tracker: https://pursueatl.com/progress/
