How B2B SaaS teams get picked (and cited) by Google’s AI Overviews and LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity through AI search optimization.
In this video, I break down a practical playbook to earn mentions & citations inside AI answers, map your Prompt Universe, and use third-party authority + entity hygiene to win selection in weeks.
*Who this is for*
Founders and in-house marketers at B2B SaaS ($1M+ ARR) who already invest in SEO/content and want first-mover advantage in AI search.
*What you'll learn*
- Why AI Overviews + LLMs are reshaping discovery (zero-click answers)
- SEO ≠ AI selection: only ~12% of URLs cited by AI sit in Google’s top 10 for the same query.
- Where to show up off-site: ChatGPT skews Wikipedia, Google AI Overviews & Perplexity skew Reddit/YouTube - and how to leverage that.
- How often AI Overviews appear now and what that means for your content mix.
- What to publish (answer-first passages, comparisons, integration pages) and how to measure (mention rate, citation rate, Share-of-Voice).
