Executive Summary

Many B2B SaaS companies and their marketing teams are losing visibility because prospective buyers increasingly start research in LLM-powered assistants, yet there’s no reliable way to know if your product appears in those AI answers or which content sources are driving that visibility. That gap leads to missed discovery, misallocated content spend, and no clear playbook for optimizing for assistant results. You could build a SaaS product that continually queries major AI assistants, detects when a brand or product is cited, maps the underlying sources/provenance, and delivers a visibility score plus prioritized remediation steps (content fixes, structured data, provenance annotations) via API and CMS integrations. Package it as a $2K ACV product aimed at 600k potential B2B SaaS & marketing teams with dashboards, alerts, and exportable “evidence of answer” artifacts for audits and sales enablement. This is an attractive window: a $1.2B addressable market (600k × $2K), a market score of 85/100 and revenue potential of 82/100, driven by three strong trends—AI-first discovery, sourcing transparency pressure, and a shift from SEO to AI visibility—so early entrants can capture high-margin subscription revenue. Competition is medium, meaning there’s room to gain share quickly but you’ll need to move fast to define standards and integrations. You can differentiate by offering vendor-agnostic, real-time monitoring with provenance mapping, an objective visibility score, and enterprise-grade evidence exports and compliance features that current SEO tools don’t provide. Be realistic about challenges: assistant APIs and model behavior are fragmented and changing, so success requires robust engineering to maintain crawlers, partnerships for signal access, and a tight feedback loop to keep recommendations actionable.
