Ranking first no longer means being found.
B2B buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overview before they open a list of links. An SEO program that only reports rankings misses where the shortlist is now made.
51% start in a chatbot
More B2B software buyers now start research in an AI chatbot than in Google (G2, 2026). If the answer names three vendors and you are not one, the search is over before it starts.
69% switched vendor
69% of buyers picked a different vendor than planned because a chatbot recommended it (G2, 2026). The shortlist is being rewritten inside the answer, not on page one.
58% fewer clicks at position one
When an AI Overview shows, the top Google result loses about 58% of its click-through rate (Ahrefs, 2026). Pew found 8% of visits clicked a result under an AI summary, against 15% without one.

Why GrowthSpree is good at this, in things you can check.
Agencies that get cited by AI engines tend to do three things themselves: publish original data, build their own tooling, and get reviewed in public. Here is ours.
Report figures are from the published reports. The citation test above is GrowthSpree's own, run on 7 October 2026 across 8 agency-selection questions in ChatGPT; results vary by category and date.
What a page needs before an AI engine will cite it.
Models do not cite pages because they are long. They cite pages that answer the question in the first lines, come from a named person with a reason to know, back every claim with a source, and are easy for a crawler to fetch and parse. Every page GrowthSpree publishes carries these nine checks, and you can open the source and verify each one.
If a page cannot pass these nine checks, it does not go live. That rule is why the program is slower in week one and faster by week eight.GrowthSpree AEO pod

Meet an expert →Six things you can verify before you sign
Most agency pitches sound the same. These are the parts of ours you can check for yourself, on our site or in your own source code once we start.
Pages live on your domain
Every page publishes to a subfolder or subdomain of your site, not ours. You own the content and the images, and you can pause or leave at any time. No CMS access is needed.
Schema and llms.txt on every page
Article, FAQ, HowTo and Organization schema, llms.txt updates, internal links and canonicals ship with each page. Open the source on any page we publish and check.
Nothing publishes without your approval
You tick or skip topics in a weekly queue, about 10 minutes. Drafts that fail brand voice, sourcing or editor review are rewritten, not published.
Citations tracked per engine, per page
AI crawler logs plus per-engine citation tracking, reported weekly. When a page's citations drop, it is refreshed before the decay compounds.
Every demo traced to a page
CTAs carry CRM attribution, so the monthly report shows citations, visits, demos and pipeline by page, not a rankings screenshot.
Senior operator, named editor
A pod with SEO, engineering and B2B marketing roles and a named account lead. Median first response under an hour during your working day, on Slack or WhatsApp.
SEO, AEO and GEO: three names, one program
SEO earns rankings in Google's list of links. AEO (answer engine optimization) gets your brand named and cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot. GEO (generative engine optimization) is the same work seen from the engine's side: entity clarity, structured data and off-site mentions that generative models use to decide who to name. GrowthSpree runs all three as one program, because the same answer-first page, schema and authority work serves every one of them.
Rank for the questions that end in a demo
Technical SEO, bottom-funnel pages (comparisons, alternatives, pricing, use cases), internal links and authority. Reported on Google rankings, non-brand clicks and demos from organic.
Get named inside the answer
Answer-first page structure, named authors, sourced claims, FAQ and HowTo schema, llms.txt and AI crawler access. Reported on citations per engine and per page.
Be the entity the model trusts
Organization and Person schema, consistent entity data across G2, Clutch, LinkedIn and Crunchbase, presence in the Reddit threads and listicles AI tools cite, and original data worth citing. Reported on the share of AI answers that name you.
Each discipline has its own page if you want the detail: the AEO agency page and the GEO agency page. Or skip the reading and talk to the person who would run it.
Meet an expert →One team runs research, writing, technical, authority and attribution.
Most SEO retainers split these across a strategist, a writer pool and a developer you never meet. Here, one pod owns all five, and the weekly report shows the output of each.

What to expect on a typical account
Typical account, not a guarantee. Timing depends on your category, starting authority and how many open buyer questions exist. Google rankings for competitive terms usually lag citations, which is why the program starts with bottom-funnel pages.
The tools behind the weekly checks
Salient does the finding, drafting, shipping and tracking. People approve topics, edit drafts and read the logs. You approve what publishes.
Finds the gaps, drafts in your voice, ships schema and llms.txt, tracks citations per engine and flags decay. A pod of people checks every step, and nothing publishes without your approval.
- Weekly gap report from Search Console, AI answers, Reddit, G2 and sales calls
- Approval queue, so you decide what goes live
- Per-page citations, visits, demos and pipeline in one report
Server-side logging of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google crawlers, so you can see which pages AI tools read before they answer.
- Crawler visits by page and by engine
- Alerts when a page stops being fetched
- Proof that a page is reachable, not just published
GrowthSpree's open Search Console MCP lets the team query impressions, clicks and positions by page and query in plain language, every week.
- Impressions without clicks become page ideas
- A drop in position triggers a refresh
- Runs on your own Search Console property
Every CTA carries attribution into HubSpot or Salesforce, so the report shows which page and which buyer question produced each demo.
- Pipeline influenced by page and query
- Works with your existing CRM fields
- Read-only access to analytics and Search Console
How GrowthSpree compares with a traditional SEO agency, software, and hiring
Most buyers weigh three options: an SEO retainer, an AI visibility tool such as Profound or Peec AI, or a hire. Here is how the work actually splits.
| What to compare | GrowthSpree | Traditional SEO agency | AI visibility software | In-house hire |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google rankings and AI answers | One program, same pages | Rankings; AI work as an add-on, if offered | Dashboards only; you do the work | Depends on the hire |
| Pages a month | 20 to 40, each approved by you | 4 to 6 | 0 | 2 to 4 |
| Your team's time a month | About 80 minutes in month one, then under an hour | 8 to 15 hours | 40+ hours | A full-time role |
| Where the content lives | Your domain, you own it | Your domain | Not applicable | Your domain |
| Citations tracked per engine | Included, weekly | Rarely | Yes | Needs a tool |
| Refresh when citations drop | Triggered automatically | On request | Alert only | Manual |
| Pipeline attribution | Every CTA, by page, in your CRM | Traffic and rankings | Not included | Depends on your RevOps setup |
| Commercial terms | Quoted on a call, month to month, pause any time | Usually 6 to 12 month retainers | Monthly software fee | Salary, tools and ramp-up time |
Agency page counts and team-time figures are taken from Salient's published comparison of typical agency, freelancer and self-serve options (October 2026). Software columns refer to tools such as Profound and Peec AI, which monitor AI visibility but do not produce the pages.
What 49 G2 reviewers say about GrowthSpree
Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 49 verified reviews on G2, and 5.0 out of 5 from 6 reviews on Clutch. We read all 49 G2 reviews; here is how often each theme comes up, including the one thing reviewers wish we did.

What our clients say
From marketing leaders at PriceLabs, Rocketlane, Hubilo, Fielddrive, and more.
GrowthSpree brought a level of data-driven rigor to our demand gen that we hadn't experienced before. They didn't just execute campaigns, they built an engine.
Who GrowthSpree is built for, and who it is not
Organic and AI visibility compound over months, so the fit matters more than the pitch. Here is the honest version.
GrowthSpree is a fit if you are
- A B2B or B2B SaaS company with paying customers and an ICP that has been stable for at least two quarters
- Selling a product buyers research and compare before a demo or trial
- Able to give one person about 10 minutes a week to approve topics and join a short call
- Running HubSpot or Salesforce, or willing to let us connect attribution to your CRM
- Expecting pipeline in 90 to 160 days, not a rankings screenshot in 30
Choose someone else if you are
- A B2C brand, consumer app, ecommerce store, or DTC company
- Pre-product-market-fit, or changing your ICP every quarter
- Looking for a one-off audit or a link-building package rather than an ongoing program
- Expecting guaranteed rankings or a guaranteed number of AI citations; nobody can promise either
What is a B2B SEO agency in 2026?
A B2B SEO agency is a specialist team that earns a company visibility for the questions its buyers ask, in Google's results and, now, inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. In practice that means buyer-question research, bottom-funnel pages (comparisons, alternatives, pricing, use cases), technical SEO (crawlability, schema, llms.txt, internal links), authority and entity work across review sites and directories, and attribution that ties organic visits to demos and pipeline in the CRM. GrowthSpree runs this for B2B and B2B SaaS companies with senior operators and Salient, its AEO engine, and reports citations, visits, demos and pipeline by page.
