AEO for B2B Companies
Show up when buyers research categories, vendors, and you, across long and considered purchases.
Overview. Your AI visibility and share of voice at a glance.
Used by 200+ brands to optimize their AI visibility
Your buyers are asking AI. Is it naming you?
B2B purchases involve a lot of research, and much of it now starts with an AI engine. Buyers ask what a category is, who the serious vendors are, and whether you are credible, long before they fill out a form.
Because the cycle is long and the deals are large, a single AI answer that omits or misframes you carries outsized cost. The fix is durable authority: clear content, trusted mentions, and accurate descriptions across the engines your buyers use.

Why does AEO matter for B2B?
B2B buyers research with AI engines before they talk to sales. If the model does not name you, or describes you inaccurately, you can lose a deal before it starts. AEO is how you measure and fix that.
How is AI visibility different from SEO for B2B?
SEO targets a ranking on a results page. AI visibility targets being named and cited inside a written answer. The fundamentals overlap, but the unit of success is the citation, not the position.
