Echorank for SaaS and B2B tech

Buyers ask assistants for alternatives and comparisons. Being absent from that answer costs more than a ranking drop.

The eval list is written before you're contacted

B2B buying starts long before a demo request: someone on the committee asks an assistant for 'alternatives to <incumbent>' or 'best <category> for mid-market', reads the three names that come back, and the shortlist hardens from there. By the time a form is filled, most of the market has already been excluded — and the excluded vendors never see the question in any funnel report. It's the dark part of the dark funnel: no referrer, no intent signal, no second chance.

Being on that list is winnable, because the answers aren't oracular — they're assembled from sources you can influence: review platforms, comparison content, documentation, community threads. The vendors who treat those answers as a surface to manage are quietly taking evaluation slots from the ones still optimizing only for the SERP.

How you're framed decides which deals you see

Assistants don't just name vendors — they characterize them: 'best for enterprises', 'cheaper but limited', 'strong for developers'. That framing routes buyers before positioning decks ever load. If the answers call you the budget option while you're moving upmarket, your pipeline will keep telling you the same story, and no one on the team will know why.

Echorank records how each assistant describes you and your competitors across the prompts that matter — categories, alternatives, comparisons, 'is <product> good' — with sentiment, position and the exact framing language, tracked over time. When the description shifts, or a competitor's framing improves after a content push, you see it the week it happens and can trace it to the sources that caused it.

The sources are a backlog, not a mystery

Citation analysis shows which sources put each vendor into each answer: the G2 profile with 400 recent reviews, the '<competitor> vs <competitor>' page you never wrote, the migration guide that gets quoted verbatim. Each is a concrete work item with an owner — reviews to product marketing, comparison pages to content, docs structure to DevRel — and an expected effect on a named prompt.

The rhythm fits how SaaS teams already ship: pick the highest-value losing prompt, snapshot the baseline, land the intervention, watch the repeated daily runs. Wins are attributable ('the comparison hub took us from absent to #2 on alternatives prompts'), which makes the next quarter's investment case write itself.
