The challenge

Why B2B SEO has to cover AI answers

The gaps between ranking for a service and being on the buying committee's AI shortlist.

The shortlist forms inside an AI answer

Engineers, procurement and finance each ask AI different questions about the same purchase. If your firm isn't named, you are off the list before sales hears about it.

Each persona hears a different story

The technical evaluator and the budget holder get different answers. A single visibility number hides which of them never hears your name.

Niche topics, little search volume

Manufacturing SEO and cybersecurity SEO target small, specialist audiences. Keyword volume undercounts the questions buyers put to AI.

Expertise trapped in sales decks

Specifications, case studies and engineers' know-how rarely make it onto pages AI can read, so generic competitors get cited instead.

The solution

How WriteWorks runs B2B SEO

Track by persona, benchmark competitors, find the topics you lose, ship expert content.

Define the personas in your buying committee and track the prompts each one asks. Visibility is reported per persona, so you can see who hears your name and who doesn't.

Featured story

“A near-perfect audit score made it easy to think the job was done. WriteWorks found the one gap that mattered: none of our homepages said who we are in a way a machine could read. We added Organization markup in every market and dated every FAQ page, and key pages carrying the schema AI expects went from 92% to 100%. Small changes, and a much clearer picture of GraftPal for AI.”

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

What is B2B SEO in AI search?+
B2B SEO is getting your firm found by business buyers researching a purchase. In AI search, that research increasingly happens in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Google's AI answers, so B2B SEO now includes being one of the vendors those answers recommend, for each member of the buying committee.
Does it work for manufacturing SEO and cybersecurity SEO?+
Yes. Both are niche, technical markets where the questions buyers ask AI are specific and search volume is thin. Tracking the prompts directly, by persona, shows what volume data misses.
How do personas work?+
You define the personas you sell to (for example a plant engineer, a procurement lead and a finance director) and tag prompts to them. Visibility, trend and competitor share are then reported per persona.
Which AI platforms are covered?+
Starter tracks ChatGPT. Growth adds Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Enterprise and agency plans track every platform, including Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, which matter for buyers working inside business tools.
Is this the same as B2B SaaS SEO?+
SaaS companies have their own page: SaaS content marketing. This page is for B2B services, manufacturing, cybersecurity and other firms selling to businesses.
Can it connect AI visibility to pipeline?+
Reports can combine AI visibility with GA4 conversions and Search Console data, and AI referral traffic shows the visits AI assistants send (Growth and above). It does not read your CRM.
