B2B SaaS

Cited as a top-3 recommendation in ChatGPT & Gemini

A 22-person SaaS team was invisible in AI answers. We engineered question-led content, built citations on Reddit, G2 and industry forums, and shipped entity-level schema. Within 4 months their brand was named in answers across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

The Problem

A field-service workforce SaaS with strong G2 reviews (4.6★, 180 reviews) was returning zero brand mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews for 47 buyer-intent prompts ("best dispatch software for HVAC contractors", "alternatives to ServiceTitan"). Their site had no entity schema, no comparison content, and no citations outside their own domain.

Budget Parameters

Content + GEO retainer: $4,500/mo. Citation outreach: $1,200/mo. Schema engineering: $2,400 one-time. 4-month total: $25,200.

Technical Steps Executed

  1. 1

    Mapped 47 buyer-intent prompts across 5 personas using actual ChatGPT/Perplexity transcripts collected from sales calls.

  2. 2

    Shipped Organization, SoftwareApplication, Product, FAQPage, and Review schema with explicit sameAs links to G2, Capterra, LinkedIn, Crunchbase.

  3. 3

    Published 18 question-led articles structured as direct-answer-then-explanation, each with a TL;DR block LLMs preferentially extract.

  4. 4

    Engineered 34 unanchored brand mentions across Reddit (r/sysadmin, r/msp), industry Slack archives, podcast show notes, and 3 tier-1 industry blogs.

  5. 5

    Built a comparison hub (12 vs-pages) with structured comparison tables — the format Perplexity and Gemini extract verbatim into responses.
