The Challenge

A growing SaaS company was struggling to appear in AI‑generated search results. Despite strong traditional SEO, they were rarely cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity, missing out on valuable referral traffic and authority signals.

  • Zero AI Citations – Their brand was not appearing in AI‑generated answers.
  • Low Authority Signals – AI models weren't recognizing them as a trusted source.
  • Competitor Dominance – Competitors were already being cited by AI platforms.
  • Unclear Strategy – No clear roadmap to improve AI visibility.

The Solution

1. Citation Audit

We audited existing brand mentions and identified gaps in AI‑readiness, then prioritised platforms and content for citation building.

2. Content Clarity & Structure

We restructured key content to be clear, concise, and easy to parse by AI models, using bullet points, tables, and structured formats.

3. Authority Signals

We built high‑authority backlinks and ensured brand mentions across reputable industry platforms to increase trust signals.

4. Schema & Structured Data

We implemented advanced schema markup (FAQPage, HowTo, Article) to help AI engines understand and cite content.

5. Continuous Monitoring

We set up tracking to monitor AI citations and adjusted strategies to maximise impact over time.
