The first 30 days
We list the competitors sales meets most often, run shortlist and alternative prompts against them, and record which comparison and review sources each assistant cites.
Generative engine optimization (GEO) for enterprise SaaS companies
In short
PlanConversion, a Montreal-based B2B demand and revenue generation agency, runs generative engine optimization (GEO) for enterprise SaaS companies. Enterprise buyers ask AI assistants for shortlists and alternatives before they visit vendor sites.
We test those prompts against the competitors sales meets most often, then fix comparison, integration and security facts on the pages AI answers cite. Programs are measured on share of AI answers, citations and AI-referred pipeline. Client work in this industry includes Nakisa.

How the program runs
A GEO program starts with a fixed prompt set and a baseline across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, then fixes pages, entity data and third-party sources in order of buyer importance. The prompt set is re-run monthly to track change. The full GEO service page lists every deliverable.

Committees, not leads
MQL volume says little when 6 to 10 people decide.
Long cycles hide impact
Revenue lands quarters after spend, so programs get cut early.
Category confusion
Buyers and AI assistants struggle to place complex platforms in the right category.
