Finding an SEO partner who understands niche B2B is hard. DerivateX figured out our market quickly and focused on the keywords that actually matter to our buyers. Six months in, we are ranking for terms we couldn’t crack before. Communication is clear, turnaround is fast, and they do not pad reports with fluff.

The Shift · SEO + AEO + GEO

Your Current Agency Optimizes Pages.
DerivateX Builds the Evidence That Gets You Cited.

Search is now three layers: Google (SEO), Answer Engines (AEO), and Generative Engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity (GEO). LLMs do not rank pages, they rank confidence. If they cannot find evidence your brand should be cited, you will not be.

What You Are Getting Today

  • Blog posts nobody reads
  • Rankings that do not convert
  • 40-page PDF reports, zero pipeline attribution
  • Invisible to ChatGPT and Perplexity
  • "We need more time" every quarter

What DerivateX Builds

  • Content tied to commercial intent and buyer questions
  • Every deliverable mapped to pipeline contribution
  • Weekly AI Visibility Score, Monday and Friday async updates, biweekly strategy calls
  • Citations earned across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude
  • 90-day sprints with measurable outcomes

Why Now

The Earlier You Start, the Cheaper the Lead

40%+
of Google queries now return an AI Overview, so the answer is delivered before a click happens.
61%
drop in click-through rate when an AI Overview appears. If you are not the cited brand, you are invisible to the buyer.
60 to 90
days to first AI citation for B2B SaaS. Start a sprint today, you are cited next quarter. Wait, and you start from zero again.
3 to 4
brands get recommended per AI category query. Those positions compound once claimed, which makes displacement more expensive every quarter.

What We Promise

Four Commitments. In Writing.

You should not have to hope an agency works. These are the four things we put in every contract.

Weekly pulse, Monday and Friday.

What DerivateX is shipping this week, sent Monday. What actually shipped, what is tracking, and what is next, sent Friday. Every week, in writing.

Biweekly strategy call.

A live call with a founder on the account covering what shipped, what the data is showing, and what changes next. Weekly on the higher tiers.

Monthly attribution report.

Both organic and AI channels mapped to your CRM pipeline. Demo requests, signups, revenue. Zero vanity metrics.

Founder-led. Specialist team.

Your project is not handed to juniors. You work directly with the founders, backed by specialists who do one thing only. Writers write the content, researchers run the research, and technical leads build.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can not find your answer? Ask us directly or read all FAQs.

Who is DerivateX for?
B2B SaaS companies from $5M to $50M ARR with product-market fit that want organic SEO and AI search visibility tied directly to pipeline. We work exclusively with software companies. No e-commerce, no local, no B2C.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) ranks pages in Google. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) wins featured snippets, People Also Ask, and Google AI Mode answers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), sometimes called LLM SEO, gets your brand cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude responses. All three matter. We run them as one engagement.
How fast do results show?
Honest answer: technical improvements in 30 to 60 days. GEO citation gains measurable in 60 to 90 days. Meaningful pipeline attribution in 3 to 6 months. We build compounding assets, not quick wins that disappear.
What is Citation Engineering?
Our published methodology for making AI tools recommend your brand. It combines entity optimization, strategic third-party placements on sources LLMs actually sample, comparison page architecture, and structured data. Every step is documented and measurable with our AI Visibility Score.
Do you handle content writing and link building too?
Yes. We run the full motion. Content production (blogs, comparison pages, listicles, reports), digital PR, guest posts, link insertions, and citation engineering all happen under one team. You do not need a separate writing agency or a separate link agency.
What does pricing look like?
Three flat monthly retainers: $5,000, $8,000, and $12,000 per month, with Enterprise scoped individually. Rank & Get Found and Own Your Category start as a 90-day pilot with no lock-in after it. Market Leader carries a 6-month minimum. The off-site citation budget sits outside the retainer at $1,000 to $3,000 per month depending on tier, and is approved by you before any spend. There is also a standalone $3,500 diagnostic if you want the audit, query map, and content strategy before committing to a retainer. See transparent pricing tiers.
How do you report on results?
Weekly async updates on Monday and Friday: what is shipping, what shipped, what is tracking, what is next. Strategy calls biweekly, or weekly from the $8,000 tier upward. A monthly attribution report mapping organic and AI channels directly to CRM pipeline. Citation tracking runs weekly and query tracking runs biweekly. Zero vanity metrics.
Do you work with companies outside the US?
Yes. We specialize in English-language markets but work with SaaS companies globally. Search intent does not need a passport. DerivateX runs active engagements across North America, India, the UK and Europe, and the GCC. Several clients are India-headquartered companies selling to US buyers.
