AI SEO Optimisation
Built for SaaS, fintech, AI, cybersecurity and complex technology products.

The way people search is changing.
Your strategy should too.

Your website may rank well in Google and still be absent when a buyer asks an AI assistant to compare providers. AI search can research a category, explain the differences and produce a shortlist in one answer. If your product is described vaguely, supported by weak evidence or presented differently across the web, stronger competitors can be recommended in its place.

The difference

Traditional SEO
/manual journey

Starts with a keyword

The buyer compresses a complex need into a few search terms, often without explaining their company, priorities or constraints.

Scans ads and search results

Recognisable brands and prominent organic results receive the first attention.

Opens several comparison pages

The buyer moves between vendor websites, review platforms and industry articles.

Researches each option manually

Features, pricing, integrations, use cases and reviews are checked across several sources.

Builds a shortlist

The buyer compares what they have found and contacts the most relevant vendors.

AI Search
/buyer journey

Explains the buying context

The buyer describes their company, requirements, current systems, priorities and budget.

Asks for suitable products and solutions

The AI assistant interprets those requirements and identifies possible providers.

Receives a compared shortlist

Products are summarised and compared within a single response.

Checks the evidence

The buyer reviews cited pages, independent sources, reviews and product information.

Refines the decision

Follow-up questions narrow the shortlist before the buyer visits selected websites or books a demonstration.

Search shift

More decisions start in AI Search while fewer searches end with a website visit.

People using ChatGPT every week

Figures announced by OpenAI. ChatGPT is about half of all AI assistant traffic, the rest being Gemini, Claude and the others (Similarweb, May 2026).

Google searches that still send someone to a website

Three clickstream panels, compiled by SparkToro. Dotted where nobody measured comparably. Pew Research and Seer Interactive measure the same fall separately.

Why does this matter for SaaS companies?

AI assistants are becoming part of how software buyers discover categories, compare products and decide which vendors deserve closer attention.

This changes the job of search optimisation. It is no longer enough to rank for a keyword. Your company must also be represented accurately when an AI system assembles an answer from your website, product documentation, reviews and third-party sources.

51%

Of B2B software buyers start their research with an AI chatbot more often than Google.

71%

Use AI chatbots at some point during the software research process.

69%

Chose a different software vendor than expected after receiving guidance from an AI chatbot.

What is AI search optimisation

An AI search optimisation agency helps companies improve how AI-powered platforms find, interpret and describe their brand, products and services.

The work connects product positioning, content, technical SEO and external authority so that answer engines can associate your product with the right category, buyers and use cases.

A Generative Engine Optimisation agency applies these principles across positioning, content, technical SEO and authority, helping AI systems understand when a company is relevant and how it should be represented.

AI Search vs Traditional SEO

Traditional SEO helps pages rank, attract qualified traffic and convert search demand. For companies investing in B2B SaaS SEO, those foundations still matter, but they now need to support visibility in AI-generated research and recommendations as well.

AI search optimisation focuses on whether a brand is mentioned, cited and represented correctly inside generated answers. The two disciplines share technical and content foundations, but they are measured differently.

Which should you prioritise

For most SaaS companies, the answer is both.

Organic rankings still matter. Pages that search engines can crawl, understand, and trust are also more useful to AI retrieval systems. A joined strategy protects existing search performance while extending visibility into AI-generated research and recommendations.

AI search optimisation is also known as:
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)
LLM optimisation
AI visibility optimisation

How our AI SEO services improve search visibility.

1
AI visibility audit
We test the buyer questions that matter to your business across relevant AI platforms. The audit records where your company appears, how accurately it is described, which pages are cited, which competitors are recommended, and where your strongest commercial opportunities lie.
2
Positioning & content
We turn the audit into a practical AI search strategy. This includes priority prompts, product and entity positioning, content opportunities, page formats, comparison topics, internal linking and a clear order for implementation, built around buyer intent rather than content volume.
3
Technical AI discoverability
We assess whether search engines and AI retrieval systems can reliably access your most important information. The review covers crawlability, indexation, rendering, canonicals, site architecture, internal links, metadata, structured data and the crawler controls that affect discoverability.
4
Authority and measurement
AI systems learn about companies from more than their own websites. We identify the publications, reviews, directories, research and expert sources that influence your category, then track priority prompts, cited sources, answer context and competitor visibility alongside traditional SEO performance.
Need a consultation?
We will examine the questions your buyers ask, show where your company appears today and identify the work most likely to improve its visibility.

What will you receive

Why Rattlesnake

Explore why technology teams choose Rattlesnake.

01

Founder-led, from the start.

You work directly with the founders from the first call through to launch, not an account manager assigned once the deal closes. The people who scope the strategy are the same people who deliver it.

02

Boutique by design.

We deliberately take on a small number of products at any one time. That focus means senior attention, quicker decisions and real depth on your product rather than scale for its own sake.

03

Technical product expertise

We work across SaaS, fintech, AI, cybersecurity, LegalTech and other complex categories, combining technical accuracy with clear category language.

04

Evidence-led measurement

We benchmark priority prompts, brand mentions, citation sources and competitor visibility, then track which changes improve results.

Our clients are backed by leading investors

We support ambitious technology companies from strategy through implementation and growth.

Where we improve
your visibility.

We work with SaaS and B2B technology companies whose buyers research carefully before making a decision. This includes vertical SaaS, developer tools, infrastructure, fintech, regtech, cybersecurity, data platforms and B2B marketplaces.

These products need precise positioning, technically accessible information and credible evidence across both conventional search results and AI-generated answers.

ChatGPT

Recommendations and comparisons

Buyers use detailed prompts to describe requirements, compare providers and refine a shortlist before visiting vendor websites.

Google AI Overviews

Visibility within search answers

Generated summaries can appear above traditional organic results. Direct answers, clear supporting evidence and technically accessible pages improve your chance of being understood.

Google AI Mode

Multi-step research

Conversational searches can connect several questions in one journey. This rewards useful topic coverage and consistent information across related pages.

Perplexity

Citation-led discovery

Visible citations help us analyse which pages, publishers and competitors influence answers in your category.

Gemini

Google-connected research

Clear product definitions and consistent supporting information help Gemini understand where your company fits and when it is relevant.

Claude

Research and internal evaluation

These platforms matter when buyers use AI to compare options, summarise research and prepare internal recommendations.

What is an AI search optimisation strategy?

An AI search optimisation strategy is a coordinated plan for improving how often and how accurately a company appears in AI-generated answers. It connects buyer-prompt research, visibility benchmarking, product positioning, content strategy, technical access, external authority and measurement.

Each action should relate to a commercial question or a clear weakness found during the audit.

What does an AI visibility audit include?

Our AI visibility audit tests priority buyer questions across relevant platforms and records brand appearances, recommendation context, cited sources, competitors and factual accuracy.

It also reviews product positioning, content coverage, technical discoverability and external authority. The findings are turned into a prioritised roadmap.

How do you improve AI visibility for a SaaS product?

We begin with the questions buyers ask when discovering and comparing products. We then benchmark current results, clarify the product’s positioning, improve key pages, resolve technical barriers and strengthen credible supporting sources.

Progress is measured through repeated prompt testing, citation analysis and conventional SEO performance.

Which AI search platforms do you optimise for?

We work across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and other relevant answer engines.

The exact platform mix depends on your audience. We focus on durable foundations such as clear positioning, useful content, technical accessibility and credible evidence, rather than temporary platform tricks.

How long does AI search optimisation take?

An audit and initial strategy can establish a useful baseline quickly, but meaningful visibility develops over time.

The timeline depends on your existing website, category competition, content gaps, technical issues and third-party authority. AI results also change as models, indexes and cited sources evolve.

Do you guarantee AI citations or recommendations?

No responsible agency can guarantee that an independent AI platform will cite or recommend a particular company.

What we can commit to is measurable progress across the signals we can influence. Across the client engagements we have tracked to date, clients have reported a meaningful increase in inbound leads following the first quarter of working with us. Individual outcomes vary, and AI visibility is one of several factors that can influence demand.

We improve these signals systematically, measure what changes and report progress transparently rather than claiming control over platforms we do not own.

Do you need to rebuild our website?

Not always. Many programmes begin with targeted improvements to positioning, content, technical discoverability and site structure.

We recommend a rebuild only when the existing architecture, templates or content model materially limit performance.

How much do you charge for your work?

Consulting and implementation engagements typically range from £5,000 to £25,000 per month, depending on the scope and level of implementation required.

For companies that need an AI visibility audit, strategy, regular consulting and ongoing implementation oversight rather than full delivery, engagements start from £3,000 per month.

Pricing depends on factors such as website complexity, the extent of any website rebuild, content and technical requirements, target markets, and whether the programme includes PR, media coverage, authority building or third-party placements.
