SaaSEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Platform

Scaling B2B SaaS Pipeline by 312%

How we bypassed legacy directory listings by building custom programmatic comparison alternatives that intercept buyers at the point of decision.

The Challenge

The client relied on AdWords campaigns costing $42 per click. High CAC prevented sustainable revenue growth, and third-party listings represented 70% of inbound sales demos. Their website lacked comparative content and had no programmatic infrastructure to intercept competitor-adjacent searches.

The Solution

We built 42 speed-optimized comparison landing pages hosted directly on the client's domain to intercept software buyers at the point of decision. Injected structured JSON-LD schema maps declaring feature differences and created comparison tables that load in under 0.4 seconds.

Key Results

+312% organic search traffic in 90 days
$1.2M in attributed pipeline growth
Top-3 rankings for 42 target comparison queries
CAC reduced from $42 to $8.40

QUESTIONS

What teams ask before they request an audit

Q.01

What exactly is Answer Engine Optimization?

AEO is the practice of structuring your content, schema, and authority signals so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and others — cite your brand when buyers ask questions in your category.

Q.02

Which answer engines do you optimize for?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, and Google AI Overviews. We adjust the platform mix based on where your buyers actually ask questions.

Q.03

Can you guarantee AI will cite us?

No. No agency can guarantee exact AI outputs — models update constantly. What we can guarantee is that we identify every signal that influences citation likelihood and give you a clear roadmap to improve them.

Q.04

How long before we see results?

Most clients see measurable citation improvements within 60–90 days of implementing our recommendations. Full authority-building typically takes 3–6 months depending on category competition.
