AI search visibility intelligence for B2B SaaS

Know when AI recommends your competitors - and why.

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Gemini "best tools for…" or "[competitor] alternatives," MentionWise tracks whether you're recommended, shows which competitors are winning, and maps the sources behind those answers - delivered as a weekly pulse and a monthly executive report.

No credit card required · A small buyer-query sample, on your company and two competitors.

The shift

Your buyers are asking AI before they talk to sales.

Buyers now ask "best ATS for startups", "Greenhouse alternatives", or "best payroll software for remote teams". If competitors are recommended and you're absent, you may never enter the shortlist.

What's the best ATS for a seed-stage startup hiring its first 10 engineers?
For seed-stage teams, the most recommended options are Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. They balance structured interviews with founder-friendly pricing. Your brand: not mentioned

AI answers are the new shortlist

Buyers increasingly use AI assistants to compare software, find alternatives, and build vendor shortlists - often before a single sales conversation.

more mentions go to top 3

Competitors win the citations

AI systems lean on review platforms, listicles, comparison articles, videos, and communities - the places that shape recommendations.

SEO reports miss the gap

Ranking data doesn't tell you whether AI assistants actually mention, cite, or recommend your company in buyer-facing answers.

Bottom-funnel queries are searches where buyers compare vendors, ask for alternatives, or build a shortlist - for example "Greenhouse alternatives", "best ATS for startups", or "best payroll software for remote teams".

Process

From buyer query to 30-day action plan

Four orchestrated stages run weekly by a dedicated analyst with a model-assisted pipeline.

Step 1

Build the buyer-query map

We identify the questions your buyers ask before choosing software: best tools, alternatives, comparisons, and category-specific searches.

"best ATS for startups"
"Greenhouse alternatives"
"Lever vs Ashby"
Step 2

Run the AI visibility audit

We test those queries across multiple AI/search-grounded providers and collect answers, citations, mentions, and source URLs.

PPL
CLD

Step 3

Map the source network

We find the review sites, listicles, comparison articles, videos, and communities shaping AI recommendations.

Step 4

Turn it into an action plan

You receive weekly pulse updates and a monthly executive report with prioritized source opportunities and a 30-day plan.

This company appears in just 13% of valid AI answers - and 22% of high-intent ones. Its top competitor appears in 80%.

02

AI systems repeatedly cite G2, TechnologyAdvice, and PeopleManagingPeople - all sources where competitors appear and you do not.

03

Your biggest gaps are in "alternatives" and "best for [segment]" queries, which sit closer to buying decisions than generic educational searches.
