3 steps to win AI search as a Utah SaaS company.
Security, IT and compliance buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI which vendors to shortlist before they book a demo. Your product page doesn't decide that list. What AI can find, verify and trust about you today does. Here's the three-step playbook we run.
- Step 1: Audit what AI says about you today
- Step 2: Build the proof that makes you the answer
- Step 3: Track it, report it, keep compounding
AXION.productions is a Minneapolis studio that produces interviews with founders, scientists and executives, including Tim Draper, Ben Lamm and Nobel laureate John Martinis.
Why this works
What the people who run search say, and what the data shows
“What was search becomes an agent.”

Why Utah is different.
Salt Lake City and the Lehi corridor, often called Silicon Slopes, are home to many B2B software companies, and buyers can choose from a lot of near-identical vendors.
- Software buyers compare vendors on category lists, review sites and answers from AI assistants before they talk to sales.
- Compliance questions are specific, such as which tool supports SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and AI answers them by naming a few vendors it can verify.
- Being named depends on independent mentions as much as your own site: reviews, comparisons, publications and expert content.
- Many strong products are described the same way as their competitors. That gap is what this work closes.
Questions buyers might ask AI
- What is the best [category] software for SOC 2 compliance?
- Which vendors does [competitor] compete with for [use case]?
- Best security software for a 100-person startup in Utah

3 steps to win AI search.
AI assistants name the few companies they can confirm from several places. Here is exactly what we do to get you confirmed. Your part is a short recording and a few approvals.
Audit: we find out exactly what AI says about you
- Write the questions your buyers actually ask about your services, credentials and location
- Run them in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI, more than once each
- Log who gets named, which competitors show up, and which sources get cited
- Pinpoint why you're missing: blocked crawlers, thin pages, no outside mentions
You get: a baseline of how often you're named, and a prioritized fix list.
Build: we make you the company AI can verify
- Fix your site's foundation: crawler access, structured data, consistent company details
- Write and publish pages that answer each buyer question directly
- Get you mentioned on the directories, trade publications and review sources AI reads
- Film your experts and leaders, then turn the recordings into clips, transcripts and expert pages
You get: a company AI can read, verify and cite, backed by original expert content.
Track: we measure it and keep improving it
- Re-run the same buyer questions on a regular schedule
- Report how often you're named and which sources are citing you
- Fix what slipped and double down on what's working
You get: a clear report on whether you're gaining ground.
We run the buyer questions for your category and email what AI says. Free, no sales call required.
Straight answers.
Why would a Utah SaaS or security company care about AI search?
Buyers and procurement teams increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI to suggest and compare suppliers before contacting anyone. The AI names a handful of companies it can verify across several sources. If your company isn't one of them, a buyer may never find you.
What does the free AI visibility check include?
We run the questions your buyers would ask about your category and region in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, each more than once because answers vary. We email you who was named, which sources were cited, and where your company did or didn't appear.
Are you based in Utah?
No. We are a Minneapolis studio. AI search work is done remotely, and on-site filming can be arranged where it makes sense. We would rather say that plainly than pretend to be local.
Can you guarantee we'll be recommended by AI?
No one can. AI engines decide for themselves, and mentions depend on sources outside anyone's control. We can show you where you stand today, fix what is fixable, build the content and independent mentions that make you easier to cite, and report your visibility as we go.
How long does it take?
Timing varies. Some technical fixes are picked up quickly, while mentions in AI answers build gradually. We'll tell you what looks realistic for your category and competition, and we won't invent a date.
Why video for a software or security company?
Founders, engineers and customers explaining real problems in their own words is original, first-hand material that is hard to copy. It builds trust that feature lists do not, and gives AI engines transcripts, clips and expert pages to cite.
