SaaS founders obsess over getting more traffic.
But the real question is: when a buyer asks AI "what's the best tool for [your category]" — does your product even show up?
Most don't.
Not because they're bad products. Because AI has never been properly introduced to them.
Here's what AI looks for before recommending a product:
→ Is it mentioned in communities where buyers ask questions?
→ Do third-party sources describe what it does clearly?
→ Is the category positioning consistent everywhere?
→ Does it answer the exact questions buyers are searching for?
This is AEO — Answer Engine Optimization.
It's not SEO. It's not ads. It's making sure AI knows your product well enough to recommend it confidently.
The founders winning right now aren't the ones with the biggest ad budget.
They're the ones whose products AI trusts enough to name-drop.
