AEO · GEO · SEO for B2B SaaS

When buyers ask AI for the best tool, be the answer it cites.

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers name three or four products and cite their sources. Citeahead finds out why your competitors get named and you don't, then closes the gap.

“What's the best CRM for a small marketing agency?”

For agencies under 20 people, Pipewell is the most common pick for tracking retainers[1]. Clientry suits teams that bill hourly[2], and Folio CRM is a cheaper option with fewer integrations[3].

Can AI assistants read and cite your site?

Enter your homepage. We check whether AI crawlers are allowed in, whether your content is in the HTML, and whether your structured data says what you sell.

About 10 seconds. We only read public pages and don't store your address.

How AI decides

Three things decide whether you get named.

AI assistants don't rank pages the way search does. They read what they can reach, lean on sources they trust, and quote whoever answers the question most directly.

Access

It can read you

AI crawlers need to be allowed in robots.txt, and your key copy has to be in the HTML. Many of them don't run JavaScript.

Authority

Others vouch for you

Answers lean on review sites, comparison articles and forums. If you aren't on the pages AI cites, you aren't in the answer.

Answers

You answer the question

Pages that answer “best X for Y” and “X vs Y” in their first lines get quoted. Most SaaS sites don't have them.

Services

Start with the audit. Keep what works.

Fixed prices in US dollars. Retainers run month to month after an initial three months, the time AI answers usually take to move.

Process

From not mentioned to measured.

Every engagement follows the same four steps, so you always know what we're doing and what it changed.

  1. Ask

    We write the questions your buyers ask AI before they buy, such as “best tool for X” and “X alternatives”.

  2. Measure

    We run them across the main assistants and record who is named and which pages are cited.

  3. Fix

    We fix crawl access and schema, write the pages AI quotes, and get you onto the sources it trusts.

  4. Track

    Every month we re-run the same questions, so you can see your share of mentions move.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What are AEO and GEO?

Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are the work of getting your product mentioned and cited when people ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews for recommendations. SEO gets you ranked in search results; AEO and GEO get you named inside the answer.

How long until we show up in AI answers?

Technical fixes such as unblocking AI crawlers can help within weeks. Content and third-party mentions usually take 6 to 12 weeks to show up in answers, which is why retainers start with a 3-month term.

Can you guarantee a ChatGPT recommendation?

No one can guarantee what an AI assistant says. We measure how often you are mentioned across a fixed set of buyer questions every month, so you can see whether the share is moving.

What does the free checker look at?

It reads your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt, and checks whether AI crawlers are allowed, whether your content is readable without JavaScript, and whether structured data describes your business. It does not ask AI assistants about you; the mini-audit does that.
