Why Now
The Earlier You Start, the Cheaper the Lead
Default
Google AI Mode is now the default search experience. The 10 blue
links era is functionally over.
93%
of AI search sessions end without a click. If you are not the
cited brand, you are invisible to the buyer.
90 to 120
days time-to-AI-citation for B2B SaaS. Start a sprint today, you
are cited next quarter. Wait, and you start from zero again.
2x
cost to catch up per quarter of delay. The gap between AI leaders
and laggards widens 12 to 15% every quarter.

Who is DerivateX for?
B2B SaaS companies between $5M and $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?
Flat-rate monthly retainers starting at $5K/month, scaled to your competitive
gap and growth targets. 6-month initial commitment, month-to-month after. See
transparent pricing tiers.
How do you report on results?
Bi-weekly Friday pulse: what shipped, what is tracking, what is next. Monthly
attribution report mapping organic plus AI channels directly to CRM pipeline. Weekly AI Visibility Score
tracked every Monday. 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. Several of our clients are India-based companies
targeting US buyers.
