SaaS product AEO
Get recommended in “best tool for X” AI queries.
Buyers ask AI for “the best project management tool for remote teams” or “the top CRM for small businesses” before they ever visit your website. If your product isn’t built for those comparison queries, you’re not even in the consideration set. I spent years writing for B2B SaaS and CPaaS, and I know how to get software products cited and recommended.
II. Strategize
Own the recommendation list
Test the queries that matter across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, map who gets cited and why, then prioritize the gaps.
III. Build
Structure machines can parse
Software schema, pricing AI can read, crawler access for AI bots, and a monitoring workflow that tracks citations over time.
