Get Your SaaS Product Recommended by AI
B2B buyers now ask ChatGPT for software recommendations before booking demos. Akravo gets your SaaS product cited across every major AI platform, from zero to recommended in 90 days.
Why SaaS Companies Lose Deals to AI Invisibility
The B2B buying journey has changed. Before a prospect visits your website, attends a webinar, or watches a demo, they open ChatGPT and type: "What's the best [category] software for [use case]?" If your product isn't cited, you never enter the consideration set. The deal is over before it starts.
AI is the new research layer
Buyers use ChatGPT and Perplexity to shortlist vendors before ever running a Google search. If you rank #1 on Google but have zero AI citations, you miss the consideration stage entirely.
First-mover advantage compounds
AI models form strong category associations early. SaaS companies that establish entity authority now will be recommended for years. Those who wait will fight for scraps against entrenched citation leaders.
Invisible = non-existent
In traditional SEO, ranking position 5 still means you get some clicks. In AI search, the model either recommends you or it doesn't. There is no second page. Citation or invisibility. That's the binary.
What AI Visibility Means for B2B SaaS Pipeline
AI-cited SaaS products capture more inbound pipeline, close faster, and hold stronger positioning. Buyers who find your product through AI arrive pre-convinced. They've already been told you're a top recommendation.
Akravo's SaaS AI Visibility Framework
Our five-step system is built for B2B SaaS, accounting for product complexity, buyer persona differences, and the comparison-heavy research patterns of software evaluation.
SaaS Prompt Research
We map 200+ queries that your buyers actually ask AI assistants, from high-level category queries ('best CRM for remote teams') to deep use-case questions ('how do I automate employee onboarding'). This prompt universe becomes your visibility roadmap.
Entity Authority Building
AI models cite based on entity recognition. We establish your product as a known, trusted entity in AI knowledge graphs through structured data, third-party coverage from authoritative sources, and consistent entity signals across the web.
Comparison Coverage
Buyers ask 'X vs Y' constantly. We build your position in competitor comparison queries so that when buyers ask ChatGPT how you compare to the market leader, your strengths are accurately represented and you're recommended for the right use cases.
Use-Case Content Architecture
We create content mapped to specific jobs-to-be-done that your ICP brings to AI. Each piece is structured for AI extraction: factual, well-sourced, and formatted the way language models prefer to cite.
Citation Monitoring & Share of Model
Every week, we run your tracked prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews to measure your share of model. You receive a weekly dashboard showing citation count, platform breakdown, and competitive positioning.
HR SaaS Startup: 0 to 38 AI Citations in 90 Days
A Series A HR tech startup had solid organic SEO but zero AI presence. HR buyers asked ChatGPT for employee engagement software and consistently got competitor names. We ran our full SaaS AI visibility framework over 90 days.
Which AI Platforms Matter for SaaS Buyers
B2B buyers don't use just one AI assistant. Your citation presence needs to span all four major platforms, each with its own sourcing behaviour and buyer audience.
ChatGPT
The most widely used AI assistant among business buyers. When buyers shortlist SaaS vendors, they start here. A ChatGPT citation is the most valuable placement.
Perplexity
Preferred by technical buyers: CTOs, engineers, product managers. Perplexity cites sources explicitly, which makes it a trusted evaluation tool for software due diligence.
Google AI Overviews
When you appear in AI Overviews for branded and category searches, you reach buyers at the moment of intent. It also reinforces authority with buyers who've heard of you through other channels.
Gemini
Enterprise buyers deeply embedded in the Google ecosystem use Gemini for productivity and research. Important for SaaS targeting finance, HR, and operations teams.
What We Deliver
Every SaaS engagement includes a defined scope. No vague retainers, no mystery deliverables. Just the tangible work that drives AI citations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get my SaaS product cited by ChatGPT?+
Most clients start seeing initial AI citations within 30–45 days. By 90 days, we typically deliver 30–50 citations across the major AI platforms. The timeline depends on your existing domain authority and the competitive density of your software category.
Which AI platforms do you optimise for?+
We focus on the four platforms where B2B software buyers research: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. We track your citation share across all four weekly.
Do you work with early-stage SaaS companies or only established players?+
We work with SaaS companies from seed to Series C. Early-stage companies benefit the most because AI models are still forming their associations for new software categories. Getting in early compounds over time.
What is 'share of model' and why does it matter?+
Share of model measures how frequently your SaaS product appears when buyers ask AI assistants for software recommendations in your category. It's the AI equivalent of market share of voice. A high share of model means your product gets recommended more often than competitors across the queries that matter most to your ICP.
How is this different from traditional SEO?+
Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google's blue links. AI visibility gets your product recommended directly inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, before buyers ever visit Google. The mechanisms differ: AI models cite based on entity authority, third-party mentions, and structured factual content, not keyword density and backlinks.
Do I need to change my existing website or product?+
No product changes required. We work alongside your existing website and marketing stack. Our work happens at the content, entity, and citation layer, building the signal network that AI models use to form recommendations.
