A ChatGPT SEO agency gets your brand named when buyers ask ChatGPT which software to shortlist. Arobis AI, an AI Search Demand Generation agency for B2B SaaS, tests your real buyer prompts in clean sessions, maps the sources ChatGPT cites, rebuilds your key pages answer-first and earns placements in those sources. All done for you, from $2,500 a month.
All four numbers come from one real client report, shown in full further down this page. Name, competitors and search terms hidden.

ChatGPT SEO is the work of getting ChatGPT to name, recommend and cite your brand when buyers ask about your category. An agency does that work. A tool measures it.
When a VP of Marketing asks ChatGPT "what is the best [category] software for a 200-person SaaS company", ChatGPT answers with a shortlist of vendors. If you are not on it, you lose a deal you never knew existed. The buyer never clicks, so you never see the visit. Your Google rankings do not show the loss either, because the buyer never reached a results page.
ChatGPT SEO services fix that. A ChatGPT SEO company finds the questions your buyers ask right before a demo, checks who ChatGPT names today, works out why, and then changes the inputs ChatGPT reads: your own pages, and the third-party sources it trusts. Good ChatGPT optimization services also track the result every month, so you can see the shortlist move.
Fine if you have the people to act on it. We compared the options in our guide to the best ChatGPT SEO tools.
Prefer to do it yourself? Our step-by-step guide on how to rank in ChatGPT covers the playbook.
For a shortlist question, ChatGPT draws on three inputs. Every part of our work targets one of them, so it helps to know what each one is.
For questions about current products, ChatGPT usually searches the web before it answers. OpenAI says ChatGPT search draws on third-party search providers, and it uses its own crawler, OAI-SearchBot, to surface websites. Pages that already rank for your category terms, load cleanly and state the answer early are the easiest for it to pick up.
OpenAI's crawler documentation also says sites that block OAI-SearchBot will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers. A stray robots.txt rule or firewall setting can do that by accident, so we check it on day one.
What we fix: crawler access, rankings for category terms, page structure that answers in the first paragraph.
ChatGPT trusts what other sites say about you more than what you say about yourself. Roundups, buyer's guides, review sites, comparison articles and forums shape the shortlist.
Fame does not buy a seat. In our AI search visibility study, five CRM vendors were recommended in 100% of buying-intent prompt runs while another CRM got 6%. Monday.com scored 67% in project management, behind bootstrapped Basecamp at 100%.
What we fix: your position in the sources ChatGPT actually cites for your category.
When ChatGPT cites your site, it quotes pages that answer a buyer question directly: comparison pages, alternatives pages, pricing, use-case pages and a clear homepage description of what you do and for whom.
In the client report below, the client's own website was cited in 36% of tracked AI answers, the #2 source in its category.
What we fix: the pages ChatGPT should quote, rebuilt answer-first, plus schema and internal links.
ChatGPT personalizes answers using your chat history, memory and location. If you ask about your own category from your own account, it already knows you care about your brand.

The only version we report.
Every ChatGPT SEO engagement runs the same five pieces of work, in this order. Our strategist, writer and technical implementer do all of it, and you approve each change before it goes live.
We map how your buyers search and agree five money prompts with you: the questions asked right before a demo. Then we run a 40-prompt audit across ChatGPT and the other major engines, before we change anything, so every later result has a real before.
We log every site ChatGPT cites for your category and rank them by how often they appear. Next to that sits the competitor win list: who gets named when you do not. Together they become the plan for the next two steps.
We rebuild the pages ChatGPT should quote so the answer comes first: comparison, alternatives, pricing, use-case pages and your homepage. Then the technical layer: schema, llms.txt, internal links, indexing in Bing as well as Google, and crawler access for OAI-SearchBot.
We earn placements in the roundups, buyer's guides and articles that ChatGPT already reads for your category, and we aim for a strong position inside them, not a footer link. Your team can be credited as authors too.
Every month you get a report that leads with a one-line takeaway per section: prompts won, prompts lost, what shipped and what ships next. At day 90 we re-run every money prompt on every engine.
A B2B software client, August 3 to September 30, 2026. We hid its name, its competitors and its exact search terms. Nothing was rounded up or added.
On day 0 every AI engine answered all five without the client. By day 60 it was named on every one, and ChatGPT put it first on two.
A month, July vs September, from the client's own Search Console Generative AI report. That is 3.1 times as many.
Up 25%, July to September. Non-branded searches where the client ranks in Google's top 10 went from 205 to 416.
The client went from absent to #1 of 8 brands.
25 buyer prompts agreed at kickoff, run in the US on ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, Sep 1 to 29, 2026. 4,119 citations analyzed.
Five money prompts and 25 tracked prompts agreed. Every answer recorded on every engine. Result: absent from all five.
Which brands AI recommends instead and which sources it quotes for them, a content plan built on that map, and the CEO's first LinkedIn article.
Two in-depth guides and three comparison pages go live. Nine duplicate posts folded into single strong pages.
Ten pages rebuilt answer-first plus a 16-question homepage FAQ. Five publications land, two on Domain Rating 80+ sites ranking the client #1.
All five money prompts re-run on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot.

Amber means unfinished: 45% on the alternatives prompt is the next target, and the report says so. Read the full sample AI visibility report for every page of it, including what did not move.
Expect a dated baseline in week one, new pages and placements by weeks 6 to 8, and a full re-run at day 90. In our sample client report, AI visibility moved before clicks did, so judge the first months on mention rate, not traffic.
We report seven metrics per engine and per prompt, never one blended score, because a score cannot tell you what to fix next.

A ChatGPT SEO agency gets your brand named, recommended and cited when buyers ask ChatGPT about your category. It agrees the buyer prompts that matter, records who ChatGPT names today, maps the sources it cites, rebuilds your key pages answer-first, earns placements in those sources and re-measures every month in clean sessions.
Arobis AI's Foundation plan is $2,500 a month with a 3-month minimum. AI Search Growth is $5,000 a month and Enterprise is custom. A single-domain audit costs $399 and is credited in full against your first month if you start within 60 days.
In our sample client report, the client went from 0 of 5 money prompts to 5 of 5 in about 60 days. That is one client, not a promise. Results compound as pages and third-party sources build up, which is why every plan has a 3-month minimum and a full re-run at day 90.
Yes, but they overlap. Regular SEO aims for rankings and clicks on Google. ChatGPT SEO aims for a place inside ChatGPT's answer. ChatGPT often searches the web before answering, so good rankings help, but the third-party sources it cites and how directly your pages answer buyer questions matter just as much.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. ChatGPT is run by OpenAI and its answers vary from run to run. What we control is the work: the audit, the pages, the placements and honest measurement. We report rates across repeated runs so you can see real movement.
No. ChatGPT is usually the priority for B2B SaaS, but we measure seven engines: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. Most of the work, like answer-first pages and third-party placements, lifts all of them.
We run your buyer prompts in logged-out or temporary chat sessions, in buyer language without your brand name, repeat each prompt and save the engine, date and session type with every capture. Logged-in checks flatter your brand, so we never report them.
Ask how they test: clean sessions, buyer language and repeated runs, not logged-in screenshots. Look for published pricing, a real before-and-after client report and a clear list of what they ship versus what your team must do. Be careful with any company that guarantees ChatGPT placements.
Read-only Google Search Console and GA4, plus a CMS editor seat or a pull-request workflow. We never ask for production credentials. Approved changes ship through your CMS or as pull requests your developers review.
Your AI visibility audit runs your real buyer prompts in clean sessions and shows who ChatGPT names instead of you, and why.
