AI Search Optimization for SaaS

Get recommended when buyers research solutions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini - the platforms where enterprise purchase decisions begin.

LLMs that matter For Saas

Your prospects aren't going to Google first anymore.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini have become the first stop for B2B software research. Before a buyer ever visits your website or fills out a demo form, they've already asked AI for recommendations. If you're not showing up in those conversations, you're invisible to your most qualified prospects.

JUICEBOX

Juicebox ranked well on Google but was invisible when recruiters asked ChatGPT or Perplexity for recommendations. Traditional SEO wasn't translating to AI visibility - competitors got recommended while Juicebox never entered the conversation. We optimized across the entire buying journey from discovery to validation.

Result: Juicebox became the #2 most cited recruiting platform behind only Wikipedia, with 4,500+ sign-ups from AI search and 20% of all sign-ups now coming from ChatGPT.

DREAMFACTORY

DreamFactory is a self-hosted platform providing governed API access to any data source for enterprise apps and local LLMs. The brand traditionally got tons of traffic from ranking for informational queries. However with the advancement of AI Search, LLMs began to answer those informational queries directly without citing any brands. We worked hands on with DreamFactory as consultants to both identify the most appropriate prompts to show up for and achieve success with it.

Result: DreamFactory turned AI search from an opaque channel into a predictable, high-intent growth engine.

“XLR8 AI helped us turn AI search from a black box into a measurable growth channel. Within months, we achieved 80%+ visibility across major LLMs and became the top-cited solution for key API Gateway and SQL-to-API queries. My biggest takeaway of working with the team is their technical knowledge of how AI Search works - they’re not a marketing team, but a team of ML experts helping us navigate this shift as SEO is fundamentally changing.”

Frequently Asked Questions

SaaS AI Search: Your Questions Answered

How is AI search different from SEO for SaaS?

Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google. AI search optimization gets your product recommended when buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity "what's the best tool for X?" The tactics are completely different—LLMs care about semantic content structure, third-party validation, and conversation-ready answers, not just backlinks and keywords.
