Frequently asked questions
- What is GEO for B2B SaaS?
- Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) for B2B SaaS is the practice of making your product citable by AI answer engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews - for the category-level queries buyers ask during research. Instead of ranking a page in blue links, the goal is being named in the AI's answer when someone asks which tools to shortlist.
- How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my SaaS product?
- Run a free GEO scan: it measures your site's citation readiness across the four CITE pillars (Technical, Content, Entity, Trust) in about 30 seconds, no account required. A full audit then tracks whether AI engines actually cite your brand for the queries that matter in your category.
- Why does my SaaS site rank on Google but not get cited by AI?
- Ranking and citation reward different signals. Google ranks pages; AI engines cite sources they can parse, verify and trust - which depends on structured data, extractable answer-shaped content, consistent entity signals across the web, and co-citation from sources the engines already trust. A site can score well on classic SEO while failing all four.
- How long does GEO take to show results for a B2B SaaS company?
- Technical and content fixes are typically re-crawled within weeks, while entity and trust signals compound over months. Citation authority behaves like domain authority did in classic SEO: the earlier you start building it, the harder you are to displace from the answers.
