How do SaaS buyers shortlist vendors in ChatGPT, and are you on it?

Questions from SaaS teams.

• Which prompts do you run for a SaaS company?

  The ones a buyer types before a demo: 'best X for Y', 'X vs Z', 'alternatives to X' and 'is X worth it', in your category and for your main use cases. We draft 150 from a SaaS prompt-set template, you approve them, and we run every one across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Claude.

• We rank for our comparison keywords. Why aren't we cited?

  Engines build a shortlist from sources they already trust in your category: review sites, community threads and editorial comparisons. A ranking page that argues your case is not one of those. The citation-source map shows which domains the answers come from and whether you are on them.

• How do you get us onto G2, Capterra and community threads without faking anything?

  Review programmes that ask real customers, a compliant community presence where your team answers questions under its own name, and comparison placements earned with original data. No reviews written for you, no faked posts, nothing that would get you removed from an engine's sources.

• What does it cost, and when do we see a number?

  The audit is $3,500 (₹1.5L), read out ten working days after kick-off with share of answer, citations and factual errors. The AEO/GEO sprint is from $8,000 (₹3.5L); the Growth programme $3,500 (₹1.25L) a month, six-month minimum. Half the audit fee is credited against a sprint booked within 30 days.

• Can this connect to our sales process?

  Yes, once the first win is in. Our outreach engine watches target accounts for signals such as funding, hiring and traffic drops, scores them and drafts the first touch; a person on your team reviews and sends. It runs on HubSpot or Zoho, with acceptance criteria in the agreement before the build.
