Is This a Fit?
Who hires an AI SEO consultant, and who shouldn't
A good fit if
- You rank on Google, but competitors get named in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers instead of you.
- You have a marketing team and want someone who has done AI search before to set the priorities.
- You don't know which engines matter for your buyers, or how to measure them.
- You want a second opinion before you hire an AI SEO or GEO agency.
Not a fit if
- Ecommerce, local businesses or consumer apps. I work only with B2B SaaS.
- Anyone looking for a trick to get into ChatGPT overnight. Citations follow sources and authority.
- Teams that only want a visibility score. I'll tell you what to change, not just what the number is.

Every option lists exactly what you get. Monthly advisory can also be added to any done-for-you plan.

Your team does the hands-on work.

How It Works
From prompt review to a plan your team can run

Your Google rankings plus the answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews give for your buyers' prompts, against your top 3 competitors.
- 2
Citation gap map
The pages, listicles and Reddit threads each engine cites for those prompts, and which of them could name you.
- 3
Priorities and strategy call
Fixes, pages, placements and Reddit work in priority order, agreed on a call, each with an owner.
- 4
Execution and review
Your team does the work and I review it every month, or my team runs it on the AI SEO plan.
Consultant, Agency or In-House
AI SEO consultant vs agency vs in-house in 2026
AI search is new enough that most teams don't have anyone who has done it. A consultant gives you that experience on call, without hiring for a role that didn't exist two years ago.
| Consultant (me) | Typical agency | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who decides the strategy | Me, directly | An account manager relaying a strategist | Your hire, if you can find one |
| What gets measured | Google rankings plus citations per engine in ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews | Often one blended visibility score | Depends on the tools you buy |
| Who does the work | Your team (advisory) or mine (done for you) | The agency's team | Your team |
| Typical cost | Call $300, advisory $500/mo, or done for you at $7,500/mo | A monthly retainer, often with a 6 to 12 month minimum | A senior salary plus AI tracking tools |
| Commitment | One-off call or month-to-month | Often 6 to 12 month contracts | A full-time salary |
About Me
Why SaaS teams hire me for AI SEO
AI engines don't run a separate ranking system you can game. The OppAlerts study of 167,000 domains ranked Domain PageRank #3 and backlinks #8 among the predictors of AI recommendations, so the work overlaps with good SEO far more than most teams expect. What changes is where you look: the listicles, publications and Reddit threads each engine cites.
I founded SAASY LINKS to work only with B2B SaaS, and I track how ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews answer the questions SaaS buyers ask. Reddit alone is 3.11% of citations across answer engines (Profound, 4B+ citations, Nov 2025), which is why it's part of every plan I set.
“After working with Vikas for several months now, I can highly recommend his services. He finds great opportunities and consistently delivers. He took the time to understand our niche and built a great strategy.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions SaaS teams ask before hiring me
What does an AI SEO consultant do?
An AI SEO consultant works on two goals at once: ranking your pages on Google and getting your brand named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. That means a prompt review, a citation gap map and a plan covering pages, links, listicle placements and Reddit.
How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO stops at the Google ranking. AI SEO adds whether AI engines cite and recommend you, which depends on off-site signals: editorial backlinks, brand mentions in 'Best X' listicles and Reddit threads.
How much does an AI SEO consultant cost?
A one-off strategy call is $300, and Monthly Advisory is $500 a month, month-to-month. If you'd rather my team executes, the AI SEO plan is $7,500 a month, and the AI Visibility plan on its own is $4,000 a month.
What do I get from the strategy call and monthly advisory?
The one-off strategy call ($300) starts with a questionnaire and a review of your backlink profile, top pages, top 3 competitors and 5 buyer prompts in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, then a 60-minute call with a recording and a written summary of your top 5 priorities within 2 business days. Monthly Advisory ($500 a month) adds a kickoff review, a monthly priorities doc, 2 calls a month of 45 minutes each, reviews of up to 10 link targets and 4 content briefs a month, and Slack replies within 1 business day.
Which AI engines do you track?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. I count citations per engine, because each one pulls from different sources and moves independently.
Who will I work with?
Me. I set the priorities, review the work and run the calls myself. On the done-for-you plan my team does the hands-on work, and you still talk to me.
Find out where AI search names your competitors instead of you
Before the call I run your buyers' prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. On the call I show you who gets named instead and why, and tell you which option fits, including if you don't need a consultant at all.
