AI visibility for
SaaS.
B2B buyers now spend roughly 27% of their evaluation time inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity before they ever hit your pricing page. The AI-readiness gap between the category leader and the second-most-cited tool is usually 4–6× — and it's entirely addressable with content structure, not ad spend.
The queries that shape your category.

How to get cited in SaaS.
- 01
Write category-defining comparison pages
One page per relevant competitor. Tabular comparison with a clear winner per row. Add FAQ schema at the bottom answering the three most common buyer objections. This is the single highest-yield artifact for SaaS citation rate.
- 02
Ship a public changelog
LLMs privilege recency signals. A dated, crawlable changelog at /changelog — updated weekly — moves your freshness pillar meaningfully and is one of the most citation-friendly formats because each entry is already a perfect chunk.
- 03
Get your API docs into llms-full.txt
If you ship an API, your docs are the single highest-value corpus you own. Put the full text into /llms-full.txt and watch Perplexity's citation rate on 'how do I do X with your API' queries climb inside a week.
- 04
Seed three deep posts on Reddit or HN
Not marketing. Real technical posts on r/webdev, r/devops, r/SaaS, or HN. Each post should contain one unique claim about your product that makes it worth linking back. Two of three won't catch. The third will do more for you than a quarter of paid content.
