Generative Engine Optimization Agency: Generative Engine Optimization for SaaS
Your SaaS already ranks on Google. But are you showing up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for recommendations? Our GEO agency places your brand in the publications, listicles and Reddit threads AI engines cite, building the entity authority and citation density that get you recommended.

The new layer of search optimization
When a buyer asks ChatGPT “what's the best CRM for startups?” or Google shows an AI Overview for “best project management tools”, the brands that appear aren't chosen by keywords and title tags. They're chosen by entity authority, citation density, and structured content signals that AI models extract from the web. If you want pages written so AI engines can lift the answer straight out of them, that's our answer engine optimization work.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) builds those signals. An OppAlerts study of 167,000 domains ranked links from search results #1, Domain PageRank #3 and Domain Backlinks #8 among the predictors of AI recommendations. We build editorial backlinks from authoritative sources, brand mentions in the listicles AI models cite most, Reddit posts in the threads LLMs read, and schema, llms.txt and crawler access fixes so AI engines can extract your pages. If you only want the roundup spots, our listicle placement service handles them on their own.

How We Build AI Visibility for Your SaaS
AI models decide which brands to cite from a handful of off-site and on-site signals. Here is how AI Visibility builds each one, every month.
Schema & Structured Data Optimization
We fix Organization, Product, FAQ and Article schema on your key pages, publish an llms.txt file and open AI crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. Structured data helps AI engines extract precise answers and attribute them to your brand.
Listicle Placements Buyers and AI Read
Every month we secure 2 placements in “Best X” listicles in your category. When buyers ask for recommendations, ChatGPT and Perplexity retrieve these roundups and lift brands from them. New or refreshed pages on your own site ship on the SEO and AI SEO plans.
Editorial Backlinks for Entity Authority
AI models judge brand authority by how often authoritative sources reference you. Every month we secure 5 dofollow editorial links on DR 50+ publications through 3,500+ established publisher relationships, building the entity authority that drives AI citations.
Brand Mentions for Citation Density
Every month we earn 5 brand mentions on authoritative publications, in comparison articles and roundup posts. Mentions raise citation density: the more trusted sources name your brand, the more often Perplexity and Google AI Overviews include it.
Reddit & Community Presence
Reddit is the most-cited source across answer engines, at 3.11% of citations (Profound, 4B+ citations). Every month we publish 3 Reddit posts and 10 comments in relevant threads, building the community signals AI models use for product recommendations.
AI Citation Tracking & Reporting
We track 25 buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. A live dashboard and monthly report show which prompts cite you, your share of voice against competitors and AI-referral traffic from GA4, so every month is data-informed.
From audit to AI citations in 4 steps
Free AI Citation Audit
On a free call, we check your brand's current presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews: which buyer prompts mention you, where competitors are cited instead, and the gaps in your entity authority and citation density.
Month-One Targets
We pick the 25 buyer prompts to track and the publications, listicles and Reddit threads for your first month, all within the fixed AI Visibility scope.
Execution & Placement
Every month: 5 editorial links, 5 brand mentions, 2 listicle placements, 3 Reddit posts and 10 comments, plus schema, llms.txt and AI crawler access fixes. First links go live within 1 week.
Tracking & Iteration
We track your 25 prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews in a live dashboard and send a monthly report. Each month's citation data sets the next month's targets.
Five Guarantees in Every AI Visibility Plan
1-Year Link Insurance
If a link is removed or turns nofollow within 12 months, we replace it free.
Only Dofollow Counts
Only dofollow links count toward your monthly editorial links. Nofollow placements are a free extra.
Mention Replacement
Every brand mention and listicle placement goes on a real, live publication. If one is removed within 12 months, we replace it free.
Every Item Delivered
Every item in your monthly scope gets delivered. Anything not live by month end carries over and ships first the following month, and invoices stay at the full monthly amount.
No Long-Term Contract
Billed monthly. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice, even partway through a sprint, and everything already delivered stays yours.
“The next million visitors to your SaaS won’t come from Google alone.”

Meet Vikas Kalwani
Co-Founder & CEO
I built SAASY LINKS to help B2B SaaS companies earn editorial backlinks that actually move rankings, in Google and AI search. Every link we build comes from a real editorial relationship, not a marketplace.
You won’t be handed off to a junior account manager. I’m involved in strategy, quality control, and reporting for every client.
Built 10,000+ editorial links for 100+ SaaS brands including HeyReach, Elementor, Hunter, and Modash. Also building BacklinkOS.
SEO, AI SEO, GEO, AEO and LLM SEO: What's the Difference?
- SEO
- Ranking your pages in Google's results for the searches your buyers make.
- GEO, AEO and LLM SEO
- Three names for the same work: getting your brand cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. AEO also covers Google's featured snippets and People Also Ask boxes.

Our plans follow the same split: SEO ($4,000/month) for Google, AI Visibility ($4,000/month) for GEO, AEO and LLM SEO, and AI SEO ($7,500/month) for both.
Fixed Monthly Scope, No Custom Quotes
SEO ranks your pages on Google. AI Visibility gets you cited by AI engines, which cite the sources they read, so we place you in those sources through established publisher relationships. AI SEO does both. Each plan lists exactly what ships every month.

Search now happens on Google and inside AI answers
“Good SEO is good GEO. Generative engine optimization is the same core work SEOs have always done: creating unique, valuable content for people and providing a great page experience.”
“You need to get mentions on the pages where AI chatbots will do a search and find those pages and create their answer based on what they see — because then you will be mentioned.”
“Undermining your SEO visibility may be one of the single most damaging things you can do to your long-term AI search presence.”
“The clicks that still arrive on your website will be highly qualified because people will have all their questions answered through ChatGPT, Google AI mode, Google AI overviews.”
“Leverage other people's publications, especially the influential and well-subscribed-to ones. You can piggyback off sites that are likely to already rank well, get the authority of a third-party saying positive things about you, and likely receive a boost in LLM discoverability.”
“View AI search as an opportunity to plug the gaps in your digital footprint. With the emergence of AI search optimization and LLMs as a channel, the importance of multi-channel marketing and having an omnichannel presence is very acute.”
Why SaaS Companies Outsource GEO to an Agency
Emerging Skillset
Generative engine optimization is a new discipline most in-house teams have not run yet. It needs skills beyond traditional SEO: entity authority, structured data and knowing which sources each AI engine cites.
Editorial Relationships
AI models cite brands that appear across trusted publications. An agency gives you 3,500+ established publisher relationships from day one, instead of building them one outreach email at a time.
Constant Model Changes
AI engines change which sources they retrieve and cite as their models and search indexes update. We track 25 prompts per client across 5 engines, so shifts show up in the dashboard. An in-house hire juggling other priorities often misses them.
In-House Cost
$170K+ / year
