Get Recommended by ChatGPT and Google: The APEX System for SaaS

Your buyers now ask AI what to buy. Most SaaS teams are invisible in the answer.
Search has quietly flipped. Your buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews "what's the best tool for X," and they act on the handful of brands the model names back. 45% of people say AI search is now their primary way to find things, and that traffic converts about 4.4x better than classic organic. The old playbook, chase a keyword and rank a blue link, does not decide that answer anymore. Worse, most teams have no idea if they are being recommended or skipped, because it never shows up as a lost deal.
In this hands-on half day, you fix that using a four-part system called APEX: build Authority so AI sees you as the answer, win Presence across both AI and Google search, earn Endorsements so other trusted voices vouch for you, and make your content eXtractable so AI can actually read and quote it. You will not watch a case study, but instead run each step live on your own site.
You leave with a prioritized action plan, your money pages mapped, an outreach list for endorsements, and a way to measure whether AI is starting to recommend you. This is the same system behind the big results for clients like Suno, Cal.com and EditGPT.

Workshop agenda
The new buyer journey: how AI decides who gets bought
Why buyers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI what to buy, how the model picks its shortlist, and what that means for your pipeline. We read the sources together.
Authority: become the answer
Appear as the solution in AI results. Listicles, best-of pages and product-led content that models read and quote. You map your own authority plays
Presence: win AI and Google at once
Good AEO is good SEO, done bottom of funnel. Find your money pages, decide what to create, and use AI to raise quality without getting flagged as spam.
Endorsements: get other voices to vouch for you
Brand mentions, best-of lists, reviews and backlink exchanges. Build your target list and draft the outreach in the room.
eXtractability: make AI able to read you
Crawlability, server-side rendering, bottom-line-up-front and content refreshes. We run the checklist against your priority pages.
Measure and plan: your 90-day AI visibility roadma
Set up tracking for AI mentions and referrals, then turn the session into a prioritized plan you leave with. Live Q&A.
