Be the software AI engines recommend when buyers compare tools.
“Best tool for…”, “alternative to…”, “X vs Y”. ZivRank measures where your product is named on those questions, and where a competitor takes your place.
Software buyers now ask AI engines to narrow the field before they visit a single vendor site. If your product is not in that first answer, it is not on the shortlist.
Built for how your buyers research
Comparison questions first
“Best X”, “alternative to Y” and “X vs Y” are where buyers decide. We measure them by intent family so you know exactly where you drop out.
Integration and fit questions
“Works with Salesforce”, “for a 50-person team”, “SOC 2 compliant”: fit questions decide the shortlist. We track them separately from category questions.
Sources that matter for software
Review platforms, comparison articles, documentation and community threads. We measure which ones the engines reuse in your category before producing anything.
What your buyers ask AI engines
Examples of the questions we measure for B2B SaaS vendors. Your own list is built and validated with you before the first measurement.
Where the answers come from
For software questions, AI engines mix vendor pages, comparison articles, review platforms and community threads, and the mix varies by engine. Published studies disagree on that mix, which is why we measure your category directly.
Measured before and after
A US B2B SaaS vendor in ITSM, measured before and after with the same protocol: more answers naming the brand, and its own site moving up among the sources the engines cite. Read the case study →
From baseline to re-measurement
Measure
The buying questions of your market (50 from the Core plan upward), asked 5 times on each of 5 AI engines. You see where you are named, where you are only a source, and where you are absent.
Diagnose
Who is named instead of you, on which questions, and which sources the engines reuse. Plus a technical audit of what stops AI engines from reading your site.
Produce
Assets the engines can cite, placed on the sources they already trust in B2B SaaS. Reviewed by an expert before anything goes live.
Re-measure
The same protocol, replayed identically. A change only counts if it rises above the noise floor set before comparison.
