The B2B SaaS Playbook for AI Search: Win Visibility in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, & Co.

1) Owned Content: Structure Your SaaS Story for AI

Answer engines break queries into sub-questions and look for structured, scannable content. SaaS companies should:

• Create landing pages for each use case, feature, and integration.
• Build FAQ hubs that answer long-tail queries like: “Does your tool integrate with Salesforce?”
• Offer comparison pages: “Your SaaS vs Competitor vs Alternative” with clear tables and verdicts.
• Refresh content regularly (every 3–6 months) with updated examples and feature changes.

2) Earned Mentions: How to Get Talked About Where AI Looks

AI engines don’t just rely on your site. They synthesize from third-party mentions:

• Reddit & Communities → Participate authentically in SaaS-related threads.
• YouTube → Publish tutorials and walkthroughs; LLMs often cite video transcripts.
• Industry publications → Get quoted in niche SaaS/tech outlets that AIs trust.

Each mention is another “citation point” that increases the likelihood of your SaaS product showing up inside AI answers.

3) Truth Alignment: How To Control How AI Describes Your SaaS

If you don’t describe your product thoroughly, competitors or outdated sources will. That means LLMs could misrepresent your features. To avoid this:

• Publish clear, structured feature descriptions.
• Use schema markup so AI systems parse details correctly.
• Monitor how AIs answer about your SaaS and correct gaps.
