What is different about AI search for b2b saas
Common patterns we plan around. Your category and market will add specifics.
Comparison-heavy buying
Buyers ask for alternatives and head-to-head comparisons. Pages that answer fairly, with criteria, are quoted more than thin sales pages.
Docs and product facts
Help centers, integrations and API docs answer many assistant questions, but only if they are crawlable and current.
Many personas
A CFO, an IT lead and an end user ask different questions. Generic keyword tracking misses that.
