SalesTech
Outbound, sequencing & intent
Recommendation-heavy queries with consolidated incumbents. Buyers ask AI for the best SDR, sequencing, or intent tool before they ever open a sales call.

Built for B2B SaaS
AI search visibility for B2B SaaS.
Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude to recommend tools before they ever reach your site. We measure whether your product shows up — or your competitors do.
AI visibility for SaaS — whether AI answer engines recommend, mention, omit, or misrepresent your product when buyers ask for tools to do a job.
Why B2B SaaS specifically
SaaS is the category most exposed to AI search, and the one where the methodology is sharpest. Three things line up: buyers research independently before talking to sales, evaluations are explicitly comparison-driven (“X vs Y”, “best tool for <use case>”), and the evidence engines rely on — review sites, listicles, docs, comparison pages — is public and improvable.
That means the gap between being mentioned and being recommended maps cleanly onto pages and sources you can actually change. For most SaaS companies, the first audit reveals they win branded prompts and lose discovery and head-to-head prompts entirely — a fixable, sequenced problem, not a mystery.
Five SaaS categories where AI search already moves deals.
Each behaves differently in AI answers — different prompts, different sources, different failure modes.
MarTech
Attribution, lifecycle & analytics
Buyers ask AI for “the best stack for <use case>” before any vendor conversation. Comparison and stack-building prompts dominate.
“Best attribution tool for PLG SaaS”
DevTools
Docs, GitHub & listicles
Heavy reliance on documentation, GitHub, and developer listicles. Source readiness directly shapes whether engines cite you — and code-snippet answerability matters.
“Open-source alternative to X”
Cybersecurity
Trust-led procurement
A trust-led category where misrepresentation in an AI answer can stall procurement before it starts. Compliance and certification claims must be accurate and citable.
“SOC 2 ready EDR for startups”
HRTech
Crowded, comparison-driven
Crowded incumbents, comparison-driven evaluations, and high listicle dependence. Buyers shortlist via AI, then validate on review sites.

Who we build for
The founder and the marketing lead.
Two buyers, one shared fear: that the category is consolidating in AI answers and they’re not in the conversation.
Founder / CEO
“Are we even in the consideration set?”
Seed to Series A. Wears the GTM hat. Has heard buyers say “I asked ChatGPT” and wants a clear, evidence-backed read on where the brand stands — without a six-month agency retainer.
Marketing / growth lead
“Where do I spend to move the needle?”
Owns the pipeline number and the content budget. Needs to know which pages, comparison assets, and third-party sources to prioritize — sequenced by impact, ready to hand to the team.
The thesis
AI search consolidates categories around the first vendors it learns to recommend.
AI search consolidates categories around the first vendors it learns to recommend.
For SaaS, that consolidation is happening now — while categories are still forming.

Six questions, answered with evidence — for SaaS.
- 01
When buyers ask AI for tools in your category, does your product appear at all?
- 02
Which competitors are recommended in your place — and which sources earn them the citation?
- 03
What do engines actually say about you — including any stale or inaccurate claims?
- 04
Which third-party sources (G2, Capterra, Reddit, listicles, docs) drive citations in your category?
- 05
Why aren't your own highest-intent pages being cited, and what makes them more answerable?
- 06
What's the prioritized, evidence-backed fix list your team can ship next quarter?
Evidence-first. No AI ranking guarantees.
Every metric carries a numerator and denominator (e.g. 12 / 40 prompts). We measure visibility and improve the public evidence engines can cite. We never promise rankings, inclusion, or unlimited scope. Snapshot starts at $99.
B2B SaaS questions.
-
SaaS buyers research in AI engines before they talk to sales, categories are comparison-driven, and the methodology is sharpest here. The gap between “mentioned” and “recommended” maps cleanly to pages and sources we can act on.
-
SalesTech, MarTech, DevTools, Cybersecurity, and HRTech are where AI search is already decisive, so the method is most proven there. We run audits for adjacent B2B SaaS categories too — we just won't oversell fit where buyer behavior hasn't shifted yet.
-
Often it's the opposite. Early categories consolidate around the first vendors AI learns to recommend. An audit shows whether you're being learned — or being skipped — while the category is still forming.
-
No. We measure visibility, identify gaps, and help you improve the public evidence engines can understand and cite. No ranking or inclusion guarantees — that's the only honest service in this space.
-
SEO fundamentals still matter and we build on them. But AI visibility measures recommendation, omission, and misrepresentation in answers — a different signal than keyword rankings, with a different fix list (comparison pages, third-party sources, answerability).
