How This SaaS Brand Tripled Its AI Mentions Using GEO

In early 2025, ClearTrack, a mid-tier SaaS company in the productivity space, had a problem: despite dominating SEO rankings and having a loyal customer base, they weren’t showing up in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini answers.

When users asked things like:

  • “Best tools for remote team productivity”
  • “Alternatives to Notion or Asana”
  • “What app helps track tasks across teams?”

ClearTrack was nowhere to be found.

Three months later, they were appearing in over 60% of model outputs for these queries.

Here’s exactly how they did it — and how your brand can follow the same path using Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).


The Wake-Up Call: Great SEO ≠ Great GEO

ClearTrack’s team was initially confused. Their SEO rankings were solid. Blog traffic was healthy. Brand awareness was growing. But LLMs weren’t citing them.

Turns out, traditional SEO and GEO are not the same game. Optimizing for search engines doesn’t automatically transfer to generative models.

When they analyzed prompts like:

“Top 5 task management apps for teams”
“What are the best Asana alternatives?”

They noticed three things:

  • Repeating mentions of Notion, ClickUp, Monday.com
  • Very little citation diversity
  • Their brand was never included

Step 1: Internal GEO Audit

ClearTrack performed an in-house audit using PromptSeed. They discovered:

  • Their homepage didn’t describe their platform in language LLMs understand
  • They weren’t being quoted in third-party blogs or listicles
  • No external mentions of “ClearTrack” in context-rich prompts
  • No consistent bio/about phrasing that could be lifted by AI

They used this GEO performance tracking guide to baseline their brand visibility across models.


Step 2: Rewriting Key Pages for Answerability

They rewrote key landing pages with LLM-ready copy, not just SEO copy.

Old headline:

“All-in-One Productivity for Teams”

New headline:

“ClearTrack is a task and project management platform for remote teams — an alternative to Asana and ClickUp.”

They also added:

  • Bulleted features that mimic AI prompt format
  • Explicit comparisons to popular tools
  • Structured FAQs rewritten using GEO prompt templates

Every paragraph was rewritten for clarity and quote-ability.


Step 3: GEO-Optimized Content Blitz

Next, the content team launched a blitz of targeted blog posts designed to match common AI prompt queries. Posts like:

  • “ClearTrack vs Asana: Which is Better for Remote Teams?”
  • “Top 10 Asana Alternatives in 2025 (We Ranked Them)”
  • “How We Built a Remote Team Workflow Without Notion”

They didn’t just chase keywords — they chased prompts.

These blogs internally linked to foundational content like:

This built topical authority within their own site — something LLMs reward when deciding what to include in answers.


Step 4: External Mentions and Structured Quotes

ClearTrack knew LLMs pull data from high-authority external sources. So they got to work:

  • Contributed quotes to roundup posts (e.g., “12 Experts on Task Management”)
  • Sponsored listicle-style product blogs with clear format:

    “ClearTrack is ideal for remote-first teams that want simplicity over complexity.”

  • Partnered with influencers and niche SaaS writers to feature their tool using predictable LLM-friendly patterns

According to this post, quotes with brand names and category terms are far more likely to be ingested and reused by LLMs.


Step 5: Iterative Testing With PromptSeed

Each month, ClearTrack reran a suite of 50+ prompts through:

  • ChatGPT (GPT-4o)
  • Claude 3.5
  • Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Grok-3 Mini

They measured:

  • Mention frequency
  • Context (factual vs hallucinated)
  • Position in output
  • Tone accuracy

When they saw drops, they refined headlines and added new content.

PromptSeed made it easy to track GEO performance across all four models in one dashboard.
