AI is now the front door to the internet

Half of all consumers already use AI-powered search. For SaaS, that means your next customer may never visit Google at all, they'll ask ChatGPT and act on the first recommendation they get.

20–50%

of traditional search traffic will shift to AI-generated answers by 2026

What You Get

What's included in your AI Growth Sprint

Every client gets all six building blocks, tied into a clear 90-day roadmap built around pipeline growth, not vanity metrics.

Your Done-For-You 90-Day Roadmap

Included in every tier

All six deliverables feed into a phased roadmap built around your pipeline goals. Month 1 focuses on audit and quick-win citations. Months 2–3 compound with content and authority. You get a clear milestone plan before any work begins.

Technical AI Audit

We uncover and fix the hidden technical issues that are stopping AI bots from reading your site.

User Prompt Identification

We discover the exact questions and phrases your ideal customers are typing into ChatGPT to find software like yours.

Entity & Schema Optimisation

We restructure your site's underlying code so AI models clearly understand what you sell and confidently recommend it.

Citation & PR Map

We build a roadmap to get the outside mentions and PR that AI algorithms require to actually trust your brand.

Content Architecture Review

We review your existing pages and restructure them to become the exact answers that AI engines are looking for.

AI Visibility Snapshot

We show you exactly how often you, and your competitors, are currently being recommended by AI today.

Why Now

Three reasons SaaS teams can't afford to wait

This isn't about chasing a trend. The math on moving early is genuinely different, and it favours the companies that start now.

Higher buying intent

A buyer asking ChatGPT "best CRM for startups" is further down the funnel than someone Googling the same phrase. They want a recommendation, not a list of links.

"By 2026, AI-powered channels will influence over 70% of B2B purchase decisions."
Gartner favicon

Gartner, 2024

3–5

Brands named per AI answer

AI doesn't return 10 blue links. It names a handful of trusted brands and stops. If you're not among those first movers, you're not in the conversation at all.

"Across 1M+ AI prompts tracked, the average response cites 3–5 brands, and the same names repeat."
RankZero favicon

RankZero data · 1M+ prompts

Compounding first-mover advantage

AI models reinforce what's already cited and trusted. The brands getting cited now will be structurally harder to displace in 12 months. The window is open, but it's closing.

"LLMs weight training-time citations heavily. Early citation authority compounds over successive model versions."

AI Engineering Consensus

Gameplan

How we get you cited and chosen

Four steps, built to compound. Most clients see their first new AI citations within 4–6 weeks of kick-off.

01
Before kick-off

AI Audit

Before we even meet, we run a full AI visibility audit. You see exactly where you appear, and don't, across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, benchmarked against your top 3 competitors.

  • AI citation baseline score
  • Competitor citation benchmarking
  • Top buyer prompt mapping
  • Technical readiness check
02
Week 1

Kick-Off Call

We walk you through the audit findings, align on your pipeline goals, and hand you a clear 90-day roadmap, so you know exactly what's happening and when before any work begins.

  • Audit debrief & Q&A
  • 90-day roadmap walkthrough
  • Priority quick wins agreed
  • Onboarding & access setup
03
Month 1–2

Technical Foundation & Content Rollout

We fix every technical blocker, restructure your existing pages, and build new content engineered to be the answer AI engines cite, mapped directly to your buyers' prompts.

  • Schema & entity optimisation
  • GEO-optimised page rewrites
  • FAQ, comparison & alternative pages
  • Citation & PR roadmap delivered
04
Month 2–3 & ongoing

Review, Iterate & Compound

We review progress monthly, close gaps fast, and compound your authority so competitors can't catch up. You get clear reporting on what's moving and what's next.

  • Monthly strategy review call
  • Ongoing prompt identification
  • Authority compounding report
  • Client-facing progress reports

"Brand Visibility Tracking"

February 11, 2026Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

What do you like best?

The most impressive feature is the real-time visibility tracking across LLMs (like ChatGPT and Google Gemini). Most SEO tools only care about Google Search, but RankZero shows exactly how often your brand is mentioned in AI conversations. I love the competitor benchmarking graph; seeing my brand’s "Share of Voice" compared to others in a single timeline makes it very easy to identify exactly when a competitor started gaining ground. The best tool so far is the "To dos". Furthermore implementation is very easy, with recommnedations made by customer support. The founder is also available for answers. My frequency of use is not high yet but we are starting to implement them actively.

What do you dislike?

The "No mentions" data for some competitors (like "competitor 1" or "competitor 2" in the screenshot) is a bit of a "cold start" problem. While it's accurate, I'd love more proactive suggestions on why they aren't being mentioned—is it a lack of citations or a specific prompt bias? Maybe a nice feature would be to do "market intelligence" and have the dashboard of how the owner of your competitors' company would look the UX

What problems is RankZero solving?

RankZero solves the "Black Box" problem of AI Search. Problem: I don't know if ChatGPT or Gemini is recommending my products to users. Benefit: RankZero tracks these "Recent Chats" and identifies the specific sources that the AI is using to form its answers. This allows me to focus my PR and backlink strategy on the sites that actually influence AI models, directly increasing my brand's visibility where the next generation of customers is searching.

"Awesome customer service and founders that care"

February 13, 2026Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

What do you like best?

Awesome customer service - and the founders genuinely care about building a quality product.

What do you dislike?

The LLMO and SEO space is crowded, so picking a solution can be difficult.

What problems is RankZero solving?

They're helping companies rank in Ai responses on platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (AIO).. but really their customer service is the best thing about the product

Why Us

We didn't theorise about AI SEO, we built the software

RankZero started as the proprietary tracking platform for top-tier SEO agencies. This gave us access to one of the largest datasets of real AI search behaviour, an unfair advantage we now use to get our service clients cited and chosen.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No -- and the distinction matters. Traditional SEO optimises for crawlers ranking pages. AI visibility optimises for language models synthesising answers. The signals are different: entity authority, Q&A structure, citation patterns, and prompt-level relevance. Existing SEO helps but won't get you into AI answers on its own.
