SEO, AEO and GEO for SaaS and software companies
Software buyers compare you long before they book a demo: on Google, on review sites and, increasingly, by asking ChatGPT or Perplexity for a shortlist. We make sure your product shows up, is described accurately and is easy to choose at each of those moments.
Buyer journey
How software gets shortlisted today
A typical B2B software purchase starts with a problem, not a vendor name. Someone on the team searches for how to fix a workflow, finds a few category terms, then starts comparing tools. By the time a demo is booked, the buyer has usually read comparison pages, scanned review platforms, checked pricing and asked at least one AI assistant which products are worth a look.
The buying group is rarely one person. An end user champions the tool, a manager owns the budget, IT or security reviews integrations and data handling, and procurement wants pricing clarity. Each of them searches differently, and each needs a page that answers their question without a sales call.
Who is involved in the decision
- End users researching how to solve a workflow
- Team leads comparing features and pricing
- IT and security reviewing integrations and compliance
- Finance and procurement validating cost and contract terms
Search behavior
Search behavior in software categories
SaaS search is dominated by comparison intent. Buyers type “best”, “alternatives”, “vs” and “pricing” queries, look for integrations with tools they already use, and search for templates or how-to content tied to the job your product does. AI assistants are now a common first stop for shortlists, and they lean heavily on review sites, comparison articles and documentation they can read.
Keywords and query types to cover
Category
“project management software for agencies”, “SOC 2 compliance software”
Comparison
“[your product] vs [competitor]”, “best [category] tools for mid-market”
