EVERY SaaS marketer needs to read Kevin Indig’s latest analysis.

He looked at 30K AI citations across 500 software categories to find out if more G2 reviews = more AI visibility.

The answer is a resounding yes.

10% more G2 reviews → 2% more AI citations. And the correlation holds even after controlling for category size and outliers.

“Small but reliable,” Kevin calls the relationship between G2 reviews and LLM citations. But in AI visibility, that matters more than it sounds.

A 2% lift on a small base doesn’t mean much…

…but in high-volume SaaS categories (CRM, project management, analytics, etc) where hundreds of AI mentions happen daily, that 2% shift can change who models recommend first.

HOW TO DRIVE MORE G2 REVIEWS:

#1: Make your G2 profile easy to find.
→ Add clear internal links (“Read verified reviews on G2”) and structured data that connect your brand, product, and review pages.

#2: Rewrite your G2 profile to convert.
→ Use clear, keyword-rich language that shows your value props, customer outcomes, and differentiators, so buyers see themselves in your story.

#3: Publish content that prompts review moments.
→ Every time you release a new case study, customer spotlight, or feature launch, treat it as a natural excuse to ask for reviews.
Share the update with your users, then follow up with:
“Would you mind sharing your experience on G2? Here’s the link.”

#4: Ask at the right moments.
→ After onboarding, renewals, or positive support interactions.

#5: Reply to every review.
→ Gratitude builds momentum. Visible engagement attracts more reviewers.

Every CMO has that one slide they dread updating before QBR…

The one marked “AI Impact”.

Your CFO wants a single chart that ties ChatGPT mentions to pipeline. But all you’ve got are screenshots, side tabs, and a few anecdotes from Sales.

I get that. BUT… 

If you can’t show how AI visibility is driving qualified opportunities,
you’ll lose the budget to teams who can.

Here’s how I fix that inside SaaS orgs 👇

1/ LLM Mentions → Branded Search Lift
Track how often your brand appears in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers, and connect that to MoM growth in branded search.

2/ Branded Search → Qualified Leads
Attribute the surge in branded demand to demo requests or trial signups.
This is where visibility becomes intent.

3/ Qualified Leads → Pipeline & Revenue
Link CRM data back to those branded leads. That’s your dollar proof.

When you can show LLM visibility → branded demand → pipeline,
the conversation in your QBR changes from “what’s AI doing for us?”
to “how can we double down on what’s working?”

Don’t wait until your credibility’s hanging by a thread. Build this dashboard BEFORE the next QBR.

Need help with this? Shoot me a DM and we can jump on a call.

If I had to start from zero today (no rankings, no AI mentions, no brand), I’d only publish 3 kinds of articles.

1/ THE COMPARISON PAGE

→ Title: “X vs Y,” “Best Alternatives to [Competitor]”
→ Key elements: Skimmable intro + “who it’s for”. Side-by-side table. Clear winner-by-scenario. Proof (reviews/case studies).

- Buyers searching these terms are already evaluating their options.
- Google understands the intent clearly → high conversion potential.
- LLMs extract attributes easily (features, use cases, pricing) → you get included in option sets.
- Instantly positions you next to known competitors, creating “category legitimacy.”
- Helps humans + AI understand where you fit and why you’re a viable choice.

2/ THE “BEST OF” ROUNDUP

→ Title: “Top CRMs for Remote Teams,” “Best Payroll Software for Startups”
→ Key elements: Comparison tables. Pricing. Proof. Skimmable as hell. Position your product for that exact searcher, not everyone.

- These pages shape the shortlists Google and AI models refer to.
- Provide structured, skimmable data that LLMs love (name → features → pricing → who it’s for).
- Put your product in front of buyers who didn’t know you existed.
- Become repeatable sources for AI “top tools” answers.
- Create brand familiarity before anyone searches for you directly.
- Drive real conversions

3/ THE FIX POST

→ Title: “How to Do [Pain Point] Without Losing a Weekend”
→ Key elements: Start with the frustration. End with your solution.

- Targets the emotional moment that triggers the whole buying journey.
- LLMs favor practical, step-by-step, empathetic problem solving → these get cited heavily.
- Builds trust by showing you understand the frustration behind the search.
- Gives models clean explanations they can reuse in answers.
- Positions your product naturally as the solution at the end of the guide.

That’s it.

3 pages that take you from invisible → trusted → chosen.

Everything else can wait.

P.S. At ContentDistribution, we help brands go from invisible to #1 in AI Mode in a month. You know where to find us.

One-mention wonder (n): 

A rare digital creature spotted briefly in an AI answer… before fading into obscurity.

Symptoms include:
– One proud screenshot of a ChatGPT mention
– Zero repeat appearances
– Chronic brand invisibility

It’s the equivalent of going viral for one LinkedIn post… 10 months ago.

Happens when brands have blog content that is AI-ready, but their brand as a whole isn’t.

Recently shared what LLM-ready CONTENT looks like.
Now I’m gonna show you what a credible LLM-ready BRAND looks like:

1/ THEY EXPLAIN THEIR OFFER HUMAN-TO-HUMAN

→ Don’t bury your offer under overly-complex taglines that ‘sound good’
→ AI can’t work out context like humans can

2/ THEY’RE SPECIFIC

→ Generic “Project Management Software” won’t get you mentioned
→ “Project Management Software for Remote Design Teams” will

3/ THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR ICP & JTBD

→ Know exactly who you serve and what job they use your product to do.
→ Generic messaging kills context, which is what AI uses to connect your brand to a pain.

4/ THEY SPEAK THEIR BUYER’S LANGUAGE

→ Every strong brand has a vocabulary its buyers recognize instantly.
→ Mirror the exact phrases your customers use so AI learns to connect your brand (not just your product) with their problems.

5/ THEY’RE CONSISTENT EVERYWHERE

→ LLMs verify credibility across ecosystems
- Clean NAP info (Name-Address-Phone)
- Consistent brand tone
- Same description across LinkedIn, About pages, directories, Reddit & press.
Discrepancy = distrust signal.

6/ THEY OWN A POINT OF VIEW

→ They’re shaping trends, not just summarizing them
→ They name problems, coin terms & challenge assumptions.
→ That’s how models start associating your brand with leadership.

7/ THEY HAVE STRONG SUPPORTING PAGES

→ Resources, FAQs, changelogs, and use-case pages - all credibility signals
→ LLMs scrape those sections for depth and reliability.
→ Thin or template pages make your brand look hollow.

8/ OTHERS TALK ABOUT THEM

→ LLMs cross-reference. They check who’s talking about you outside of your site
→ Reddit threads, Quora answers, G2 reviews, expert roundups

9/ THEY’RE CREDIBLE OFFLINE TOO

→ Press mentions, founder podcasts, partnerships
→ Real-world signals improve your digital footprint

10/ THEY KEEP EVOLVING

→ LLMs prefer to cite content that is 25.7% fresher than content in Google search results
→ Keep your story, examples & proof current
→ Models stop citing brands that stop changing

Save this & repost so you don’t lose it.

The busiest time for SaaS isn’t Black Friday…

It’s Q1.

While retail gets its spike in Nov, SaaS gets it in from Jan to Apr.  
When budgets reset, execs are told to “cut tools that don’t prove ROI”, and teams rebuild their stacks.

Every SaaS buying cycle follows a rhythm:

Q1: Renewal, shortlists & vendor switches
Q2–Q3: Implementation & roll-outs
Q4: Reporting, procurement & “do we really need this?”

But now, those Q1 shortlists are written inside LLMs, not spreadsheets.

And it all depends on what you’re publishing right now. This month.

What to do about it:

→ Refresh your resources, product pages & listings
→ Seed updated content in review sites and partner ecosystems
→ Keep your product metadata clean and current: models index it faster than you think

Your Q1 demo requests literally depend on your Dec graft.

Want me to take that off your plate? Send me a DM.

90% of SaaS content could’ve been written by my dog.

That’s exactly why it doesn’t get cited.

Michael King said it best: 
Every piece you create gives you another entry in the raffle.

So why SaaS brands are still posting generic AI nonsense is beyond me.

Each section of your content is another chance to get cited in AI search results…
…but only if it carries unique brand context.

The models want to see PROOF. Things like:
→ proprietary data
→ customer quotes
→ stat-backed claims
→ internal experiments
→ product screenshots

Every detail trains the model on who you are and why you’re credible. If your paragraph could have been written by anyone, it’s a wasted ticket. If it could ONLY have come from your team, that’s a winning one.

Your job now: 

1. Audit your top pages
2. Strip away the generic stuff
3. Add proprietary data, quotes or stories only your brand can tell. Spill your secrets.

P.S. highly recommend you hear it from the man himself. Link in comments.

Thinking of pausing content for Q4?

You’ll have to do double your work next Q1 to catch up to your competitors who kept feeding the LLMs while you were renewing contracts and Christmas shopping.

Every SaaS CMO plans content around predictable peaks:
→ Q1 = new budgets
→ Q2–Q3 = onboarding + implementation
→ Q4 = renewals + re-evaluations

But AI search doesn’t follow your fiscal calendar.

LLMs aren’t waiting for your Q1 campaign…
… they’re training continuously. 

And we all know from Ahrefs that they prefer content that’s 25.7% fresher than that in traditional organic results. 

So while your team “slows down for holidays,” your competitors’ data keeps feeding the next model refresh.

Their new resources, review pages, and product information become the training set that defines “best [category] tools for 2026.”

And when the Jan buyers finally ask those questions, the model’s ready and waiting with an answer of who to recommend.

ON THE FLIP SIDE, this is a huge opportunity for you to become the top recommended brand in your category.

Others will be slowing down soon. And while THEY go quiet for the holidays, YOU become the freshest signal in the model. 

Btw, I know this year’s been a lot, so my team at ContentDistribution is happy to do the heavy lifting for you. 😏

Shoot me a DM and we’ll make you the top choice. You rest up.

“HOW DO YOU TRACK LLM VISIBILITY?”

^ the question everyone’s been asking. Nobody’s really had an airtight answer… until NOW.

After getting SaaS clients to rank #1 in AI Mode, our team at Content Distribution knew the next step.

We’ve been testing every leading LLM visibility tracker out there, and none covered everything we needed.

So we’re building our own.

Here’s a sneak peek into what’s cooking 👀

Third-party testing phase:
We’re running side-by-side experiments with
→ UseHall (prompt visibility testing)
→ Trackerly (brand mentions across model updates)
→ PromptWatch (how answers evolve over time)

Each tool shows a different slice of the truth… so we’re mapping where they overlap and where they miss.

ON TOP OF THAT, we’re building an agentic workflow that:
→ Captures live screenshots of ChatGPT (GPT-5) and Gemini (AI Mode) answers
→ Tracks which brands are referenced or cited and how often
→ Monitors citation & mention movement over time
→ Rolls it all into AI SEO visibility reports

Think: a rank-tracker for AI answers.

Our goal? Every client report will show not just where they rank on Google…
…but where they appear inside the models buyers now trust most.

Once it’s live, I’ll share more about the stack and setup so you can learn from what’s working.

Check out this job at Arsenal Football Club: Senior SEO Executive

Might be worth waiting until the December run in before applying.

Technologist | SEO | AI Search | MMA | Ultra Runner

Over the past 3 years, I have been involved in many projects that went beyond just SEO. 

Many spanning areas of new and emerging technology and how it is applied to business success. 

Such as:
- Business improvement
- Process alingment
- Operational efficiency
- Innovation enablement 
- Agentic uses beyond AI hype blog post creation

Louis W. and I have had many discussions about creating a business that not only builds our own SaaS products, but helps businesses achieve actual success in innovation, new tooling and preparing for the agentic future. 

So this is how CodeHawks was born. 

An automation studio and micro-SaaS lab.

Drop me a line if you want to chat.

Couple of things that move the needle:

1. Using AlsoAsked and inLinks to understand user intent for your existing content.
2. Using inLinks for automated internal linking within your content. 
3. Using Similar.ai to create related category link modules. 
4. Using Similar.ai to find and publish category gaps for your products.
5. Using Keyword Insights and inLinks  to find and publish content/entity gaps. 

What does all of this do? Create assets for your ICP, which is architecturally sound for users to navigate. 

A winning combination. 

I’ll film a video for this soon.

Open article: Turn missed searches into revenue by similar.ai

I am keeping a list of all the grifters who called themselves “GEO experts” and are now renaming to “AI Search” or “AI SEO”.

It’s a thankless task, but someone has to keep the receipts.

Send this to your GEO friends when they start talking crap.

May this McDonald’s coffee bless your day.

Unless you want to launch a website on Christmas Eve.

Then don’t even bother emailing me.

No alternative text description for this image

Building another marketing funnel process for CodeHawks has been fun today. 

We are ready to beta test agentchecker.ai as Louis W. has been a busy bee making that work to spec.

Alongside this, I also had time to build the following apps: 

(You can try and guess what the apps do based on the names as I tried to make the names 80/90's esque):

- GapMaster
- Know
- VibeWall

I am not hiring on behalf of Arsenal Football Club ffs. 

🤦‍♂️😂

The stats are in:

After months of research, I can confirm that 92% of GEO experts wear dry robes. 

Astounding find.

Over the past 3 years and a bit of consulting, I have learned a lot.

But most notably, I have learned the correct usage of emojis in Slack or any community communications. 

Examples:


👍 - This does NOT mean:”Message received and I agree.”

This in fact means:”Fine. Whatever you say. I also hate you.”

🙂 - This does NOT mean:”I am happy about this.”

This in fact means:”I am staring deep into your soul and will bury you in my back garden the next time we are alone. I also hate you.”

LOL/😆 - This does NOT mean:”
I find this funny.”

This in fact means:”I am old.”

🙀 - This does NOT mean:”Even my cat was surprised.”

This in fact means:”This is shocking!”

Anyway. I will share some more key learnings with you soon.
