Question: how to rank in ChatGPT for B2B SaaS
Perplexity answered: ChatGPT doesn’t rank pages; it cites brands it trusts. The path is to get indexed and cited across trusted sources, then ensure your content is structured for extraction.

What decides who sees a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn says its feed is personalised to the content, people and topics that matter to each member, and it does not publish a ranking formula. What is measurable is how often AI answers cite LinkedIn, and on our own questions that was often.
So a post has two readers: the members its feed shows it to, and the engines that cite it later. Posts and articles that answer a buyer's question in plain words serve both.
In short
- Posts and articles that answer a question directly
- Company pages and people's profiles
- Feed reach is personalised per member

How do you write LinkedIn posts AI answers cite?
Four things to check on your own pages, from how LinkedIn picks sources above. None of them is a measured result.
- 01
Post the answer to one buyer question per post, in the first lines.
- 02
Write longer articles for the comparison questions your buyers ask AI.
- 03
Have the founder and the team post, not only the company page.
- 04
Keep the company page's description identical to your site's.
What do the LinkedIn pages AI answers cite look like?
In our own readings, the LinkedIn pages cited most were long-form articles titled as the buyer's question: one on how much to pay for AI search visibility tracking (90 citations), a list of AI visibility tools for B2B SaaS companies (61) and one on how to get AI to recommend your brand (40). Fourth was one of our own company posts, cited 38 times.
The pattern is plain: a title that is the question, an answer in the opening lines, and specifics an engine can quote. In this small sample, three of the four were written by individuals rather than company pages; four pages is too few to call that a rule, but it shows the format is one anyone on the team can write.
