Alternatives to Discovered Labs for B2B SaaS SEO and AI Search in 2026 (Ranked)

Discovered Labs competitors compared

Every price, offer and term above comes from the agency's own site, read on 5 November 2026. Discovered Labs lists its prices in euros by default, with a dollar view, and every Discovered Labs figure here stays in euros. "Not published" means the agency's /pricing URL, homepage and AI search service page showed no fee that day. Every agency listed runs a dedicated AI search, GEO or AEO service page and publishes client results with figures. Each was also named in at least 79 of the 795 AI answers that named Discovered Labs on the non-branded buyer questions LoudFace tracks in Peec AI, 8 October to 4 November 2026. Those 795 answers came 419 from ChatGPT, 237 from Google AI Overviews and 139 from Perplexity.

What does Discovered Labs do well, and who does it fit?

Discovered Labs calls itself an "Organic search agency built for the AI era." Its homepage sums up the offer in one sentence: "We run SEO and AEO as one service, so you win commercial keywords on Google and become the recommended choice inside AI answers." It describes itself as AI-native and says it is "winning SEO and AI search for the fastest-growing Series A+ SaaS companies, measured in pipeline."

The founders are Liam Dunne and Ben Moore. The about page describes Ben Moore, Co-Founder and CTO, as an "Ex-Stanford AI researcher who's led engineering teams at Aurora (self-driving cars) and built fraud detection systems at Stripe, Coinbase, and Brex." Liam Dunne is credited with "taking Instantly.ai to $20M ARR in three years." Behind them sits a named team of 13 across SEO, editorial, off-page and technology, and the homepage says it has "Full-time engineers focused on research and development".

The delivery model is direct. "There are no account managers," the homepage says. The pricing page describes your team as "A dedicated team of SEOs, off-page specialists, editors and AI/ML engineers," and the default is that Discovered Labs handles "end-to-end strategy and implementation." Cadence: "Weekly async updates in Slack, bi-weekly live calls and monthly reporting calls."

Its AI search method, in its own words. The AEO service page promises: "When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity about your category, we make sure you're the answer." On measurement, "We sample hundreds of real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to measure your AI visibility". On content, "Publishing more content does not get you cited. Structuring it for retrieval does." CITABLE, its seven-part content framework, is described on Liam Dunne's author page as "Discovered Labs' 7-part framework for creating pages that answer engines can quote, verify, and keep fresh." It also audits sites against OPERABLE, "our 8-point framework for whether AI can read, trust, and act on you," and runs its own AI Visibility Tracker.

Reddit is a separate Discovered Labs service. Discovered Labs runs Reddit marketing with its own aged accounts: "You never need your own accounts," and "We run a dedicated, aged account infrastructure and manage warming, karma, and standing, so contributions land and stay live."

Price and terms. The pricing page shows three retainer tiers in euros, with a Monthly, 3-month and 6-month switch that defaults to the 6-month rate:

• Establish: €7,995/mo month to month, €7,495/mo on a 3-month commitment, or €6,995/mo on a 6-month commitment. It covers up to 20 content units a month, "Reddit engagement scaled to 10 mentions per month" and "A 4-person pod: SEO Manager (lead), 2ic, off-page and content editor who you communicate with in Slack daily".
• Compete: €12,995/mo month to month, €11,995/mo on 3 months, or €10,995/mo on a 6-month commitment, for "Up to 30 content units per month" plus net-new landing pages.
• Outlier and custom: from €15,995/mo, "The 40-unit top tier, plus bespoke retainers above it," with "A 7-person pod with a dedicated engineer".

The units are worth reading before you compare: "A net-new blog or a content refresh is 1 unit, a landing-page optimization is 5, and a net-new landing page is 7."

Discovered Labs' suggested first step is a €4,370 one-off Search Visibility Diagnostic, which "hands you a 90-day plan to capture commercial impact, in six business days" and is 100% credited to your first retainer month if you sign within 14 days. On terms, "Every retainer is month-to-month by default, with 30 days notice to cancel." A 3- or 6-month commitment buys a lower rate.

Ask about guarantees and it says no: "AI search is probabilistic, so nobody can honestly promise a fixed ranking or citation." I agree with that answer, and I wish more agencies wrote it down.

Proof. Discovered Labs publishes six named case studies plus one under NDA, all agency-reported. For Gladia, "Over four months, monthly sales-accepted leads grew sevenfold and lead quality rose alongside volume". For incident.io, content started publishing in late November 2025, and "Within four months, organic meetings booked grew 22%," while AI visibility "climbed from 38% to 64%." The Granola case study from Discovered Labs reports: "Non-branded AI citation rate increased 558% and non-branded AI mention rate increased 739% from January to August 2026."

Who it fits, in its own words. "We work exclusively with B2B SaaS companies, where senior marketers are under real pressure to perform". Its homepage names Series A+ SaaS as the target.

Why do B2B SaaS teams look for a Discovered Labs alternative?

The reasons come from Discovered Labs' own pages, and most of them are about price and fit.

1. The price floor, in euros. Discovered Labs' lowest retainer is €7,995/mo month to month. Even on a 6-month commitment, its Establish tier costs €6,995/mo. A seed or early Series A team with a smaller budget for organic and AI search has to look elsewhere.

2. The month-to-month premium. Flexibility costs extra. At Discovered Labs, month to month runs €1,000/mo above the 6-month rate on Establish and €2,000/mo above it on Compete. If you want short terms and the lowest price at once, Discovered Labs makes you pick one.

3. The audience. Discovered Labs says it works exclusively with B2B SaaS. A fintech, marketplace or B2B company outside SaaS should check the fit on the first call.

4. The entry product. Discovered Labs' suggested start is a €4,370 Diagnostic before any retainer. The fee is credited back if you sign within 14 days, but some teams want to start shipping without a paid audit first.

A lock-in is not on that list. Every Discovered Labs retainer is month to month by default.

What AI engines say about Discovered Labs

LoudFace tracks non-branded buyer questions in Peec AI, and none of the tracked questions names Discovered Labs in its text. Between 8 October and 4 November 2026, ChatGPT named Discovered Labs in 419 of 3,948 answers, Google AI Overviews in 237 of 3,824 and Perplexity in 139 of 3,948. That is 10.6% of ChatGPT answers, 6.2% of Google AI Overviews answers and 3.5% of Perplexity answers, across 91 different questions.

The questions that surface it most are about up-and-coming AEO agencies for SaaS, AEO agencies with a B2B SaaS track record, and hiring an AEO agency for B2B SaaS. On "Which AEO agencies have a track record with B2B SaaS, not ecommerce?", ChatGPT named Discovered Labs in 28 of 28 answers, Google AI Overviews in 15 and Perplexity in none.

Google AI Overviews describes it the way its own pages do. On 3 November, answering "Best agency for AI search optimization for SaaS", it described Discovered Labs this way: "Known for its proprietary CITABLE framework and focus on helping B2B SaaS companies get structured, cited, and recommended by conversational AI assistants."

ChatGPT puts it on shortlists. On 3 November, answering "What's the best agency for getting a B2B SaaS company recommended by Perplexity?", it wrote: "My recommendation would be to shortlist Omniscient Digital, Discovered Labs, and Exalt Growth."

Perplexity does the same for narrow categories. On 3 November, answering a niche vertical SaaS question, it wrote: "For a niche vertical SaaS, I'd shortlist LoudFace, Discovered Labs, and SERPdojo for focused AI-answer visibility work".

The price is where the engines split. Some get it right. A ChatGPT answer to "Compare the top AI search agencies for B2B SaaS on pricing, specialization and proof." on 2 November listed Discovered Labs at €7,995/mo, the month-to-month Establish price. Answering "We're a niche vertical SaaS. Which agencies are good at winning AI answers in a narrow category?" on 8 October, Perplexity said "from €6,995/month," the 6-month price, without the commitment behind it.

Others quote €5,495. Answering that same compare question on 8 October, ChatGPT gave "€5,495+/mo." Google AI Overviews said on 14 October, answering "How much should a B2B SaaS expect to pay an AEO agency per month, and who is worth it at that price?": "Pricing starts at €5,495/month on month-to-month terms." Perplexity wrote "It publishes starting pricing of €5,495/month with month-to-month terms" on 26 October, answering "Best agency for getting B2B SaaS cited in ChatGPT and Claude". That figure traces to Discovered Labs' own blog. Its Trysight alternatives post, updated 28 July 2026, says "Our packages start at €5,495/month on a month-to-month basis." The pricing page read on 5 November 2026 shows no €5,495 tier, so the pricing page is the current source.

If you build a shortlist from AI answers, check each price, its currency and the commitment behind it on the agency's own pricing page before the first call.

The best Discovered Labs alternatives in 2026, ranked

1. LoudFace

Best for: B2B SaaS and fintech teams that want SEO, AEO and GEO run as one program, with AI visibility reported engine by engine and a team shipping in week one.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): LoudFace engagements start from $5k/mo, scoped on the intro call, with a 2h response time on every tier. On its GEO page, LoudFace GEO programs start from $5,000 per month on a three-month initial engagement, with no setup fee. For the right partnership, LoudFace ties part of its fee to results.

What it does: LoudFace describes itself on its SEO and AEO service page as "a full-stack organic growth agency for B2B SaaS and fintech, with AI visibility measured per engine." The first month is the busiest one. LoudFace kicks off within 48 hours of signature, with access set up, the Scoreboard live and the first fixes and calibration articles shipping in the same week. You meet your delivery team and see shipped work inside five days. Months two and three run 20 or more articles a month and 8 to 12 off-site placements a month.

AI search offer: "We run SEO, AEO, and GEO as one program." The GEO service promises "Weekly share-of-answer reporting split by engine, never blended."

Proof: over 18 months as Toku's growth partner, LoudFace took Toku to 97.8% AI visibility on the category's top stablecoin payroll prompt, "Best stablecoin payroll providers," in the 30-day Peec AI reading ending 19 August 2026. Transalis, a UK managed EDI and eInvoicing provider, is now named by ChatGPT in 24.2% of answers, up from 7.7%, comparing 27 July to 23 August with the seven days to 30 October 2026. For Pond, a new AI task marketplace, ChatGPT cited its Applause and Testlio alternatives page one day after it went live, and Google impressions outside Pond's own name grew 45× from the week the first page went live to the seven days to 3 November 2026. More results sit on the LoudFace case-study index.

Skip it if: you want a one-off fixed-scope project outside a retainer. LoudFace delivers fixed scope inside a retainer with a 3-month minimum.

2. Omniscient Digital

Best for: B2B software companies that want organic growth and AI search from one agency, with a full-service annual budget.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): "Full-service engagements start at $120,000/year," on Omniscient Digital's homepage and why-us page. Its /pricing/ page loads with no figure.

What it does: Omniscient Digital "helps B2B software businesses turn SEO, GEO, and content into growth channels," and its homepage says it "gets B2B brands recommended across AI and search engines," then turns that visibility into pipeline.

AI search offer: the AEO page leads with "Increase your brand's visibility in AI search and get recommended by LLMs."

Proof: on its homepage, Omniscient Digital says "Convert grew LLM Visibility 81% and AI Citations 140% in 60 days".

Skip it if: you also want paid media, social or email from the same firm. Omniscient Digital's why-us page says "We don't run paid media, social, or email." Skip it too if $120,000 a year for full service is out of reach.

More options in alternatives to Omniscient Digital.

3. First Page Sage

Best for: B2B SaaS teams that judge organic search on demo requests, trials and payback, on month-to-month terms.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): First Page Sage's own pricing report says "First Page Sage's published range of $6,000 to $12,000 per month sits within the market's Growth tier". Its /pricing/ URL returned not found. Terms are "Month to month, with no annual lock-in."

What it does: "For 18 years, we have turned B2B SaaS websites into a dependable source of demo requests, trials, and qualified pipeline." First Page Sage's B2B SaaS page then frames the job today as beating your competitors in two search landscapes, Google and AI.

AI search offer: SEO and GEO for B2B SaaS, aimed at both Google and AI search.

Proof: across its SaaS campaigns, First Page Sage reports an average with no client named: "Our SaaS campaigns average 5.2 months to breakeven, 58% first-year ROI, and 702% ROI across the first three years." For a digital verification startup it does not name, it says "We helped our client become the most-recommended provider on AI tools including ChatGPT and Claude".

Skip it if: a senior program is out of budget this year. First Page Sage's own not-a-fit list says "We stay premium deliberately."

4. iPullRank

Best for: enterprise and mid-market brands that want AI search strategy from a technical, research-led team, and may later run GEO in-house.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): iPullRank's AI Search page sorts buyers into three stages with investment ranges and no period stated. Emerging, for "Startups and newer brands," is $30K to $150K. Growth, for mid-market and challenger brands, is $150K to $500K. Elite is $500K+. Its /pricing URL returned not found. The program page shows a 3-month AI Search Opportunity Sprint and 12-month programs.

What it does: iPullRank's homepage title calls it a "Pioneering Enterprise and Mid-Market AI Search Agency," and the footer says it is "leading the way in Relevance Engineering, GEO, Audience-Focused SEO, and Content Strategy." Mike King, a Search Engine Land Marketer of the Year, founded it.

AI search offer: "In a nutshell, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the strategy for optimizing your website and content for visibility in AI Search." The GEO page is candid too: "No one has fully figured out GEO yet." iPullRank also offers help "building an internal GEO program so you can execute in-house as your business grows."

Proof: iPullRank's homepage names a client type, not the client: "One of the world's biggest banks paused their paid ad spend because of the success of our content engineering strategy."

Skip it if: you want a monthly retainer price before the first call. iPullRank publishes investment ranges with no period attached.

More options in alternatives to iPullRank.

5. Siege Media

Best for: SaaS brands that want product-led content, digital PR and affiliate partnerships aimed at AI answers.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): Siege Media's content marketing FAQ says "Our minimums for content marketing are currently $8,000 per month." It asks for a 12-month contract "given the long term nature of SEO," and every contract includes a 30-day out clause. That $8,000 is Siege Media's content-marketing minimum, not a GEO price, and its /pricing URL returned not found.

What it does: "Full-service GEO. We make brands the answer in search." Siege Media's services line reads "GEO consulting. SEO consulting. Content. Digital PR. Affiliate. Reddit."

AI search offer: the SaaS GEO page, "Built for SaaS. Optimized for AI. Engineered to convert," covers technical SEO, product-led content, AI citation strategy, digital PR and affiliate partnerships.

Proof: in the first two years of its engagement, Siege Media says Zapier saw "a $7.2 million increase in traffic value to the blog and a 290% increase in monthly organic traffic to the site".

Skip it if: your content budget sits below Siege Media's $8,000 a month minimum, or a 12-month contract does not suit you.

More options in alternatives to Siege Media.

6. Minuttia

Best for: established B2B SaaS companies that want a Google and AI search strategy without a minimum commitment.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): not published. Minuttia's /pricing/ URL returned not found, and the homepage, who-we-serve, why-us and AEO pages show no fee. Its why-us page promises "No minimum commitment." Its who-we-serve page adds, "We're not cheap, we're not the cheapest, and we never will be."

What it does: "We help B2B SaaS companies dominate AI search." Minuttia lists 60+ B2B SaaS clients, and its who-we-serve page opens with "Minuttia Isn't For Most B2B SaaS Companies".

AI search offer: the AEO page is titled "AEO agency that Helps B2B SaaS Win AI Overviews & Answer Boxes," and the homepage promises "Forward-looking, business-driven strategy for Google and AI search that goes beyond keywords you can pull yourself from Ahrefs."

Proof: for Meilisearch, an engagement running since January 2025, Minuttia says "LLM referrer traffic has increased by 665%, while LLM conversions and session conversion rate rose by 2,700% and 266%, respectively."

Skip it if: you want a small test first. Minuttia's who-we-serve page says "You're not a fit if you want to run a small test, then commit $1K per month for a handful of me-too pieces hoping something hits."

7. Animalz

Best for: B2B SaaS brands that want a content marketing and SEO agency with an AEO audit and mention outreach on top.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): not published. Animalz's /pricing URL returned not found, and the homepage, services page and AEO page show no fee. The AEO page's call to action is "Book time on our calendar."

What it does: Animalz's homepage reads "A Content Marketing and SEO Agency for Leading B2B SaaS Brands" and says "Our programs combine proprietary research, proven playbooks, and AI workflows to drive organic growth."

AI search offer: "Optimize for AI search before your competitors do." Animalz's AEO audit shows where AI mentions or misses your brand across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, and the service list adds AI search strategy, micro content refreshes, mention outreach, YouTube for AEO and measurement.

Proof: the customers page at Animalz features "How SupportLogic AI-Proofed and 5X Its Organic Traffic in 12 Months".

Skip it if: you are not a B2B SaaS company. Animalz's homepage pitches it as an agency "for Leading B2B SaaS Brands."

More options in alternatives to Animalz.

8. Grow and Convert

Best for: B2B software companies with proven product/market fit that want conversion-focused content built from interviews with their own team.

Starting price (5 Nov 2026): Grow and Convert's content marketing page says "Our base package is $10k/month and can scale up depending on how many keywords/articles you want per month." Its SEO and GEO page and its B2B SaaS GEO page both end with "Starting at $10,000 per month." Grow and Convert's content marketing page adds, "We don't require a 6 or 12 month contract."

What it does: Grow and Convert sells content marketing, SEO and GEO, and it states its timing plainly: "we are very upfront and honest about how long SEO takes to work (6+ months minimum)."

AI search offer: the B2B SaaS GEO page promises to show "How we get AI to recommend your B2B software when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews," and its method starts from one line: "AI answers are personalized to each buyer's conversation."

Proof: for Toro TMS, Grow and Convert says "When we started in early 2025, roughly 5% of Toro's revenue came from branded inbound. Eighteen months later, that number is over 25%." From Q1 2025 to Q1 2026, "Booked revenue is up 362%".

Skip it if: you are still finding product/market fit, or your sales and product teams cannot give time for interviews. Its GEO page lists "You have proven product/market fit." and "Your sales and product teams can give us time for interviews." as fit criteria.

How do you choose a Discovered Labs alternative?

Start from the reason you are leaving. If none of the reasons above applies, stay with Discovered Labs: it publishes its prices, its retainers are month to month, and it writes down that nobody can promise a citation. If one does apply, match it here.

Then ask every agency on the shortlist the same four questions. The full set is in 14 questions to ask an AI search agency before you sign, and price bands across the market are in AEO agency pricing for B2B SaaS in 2026.

1. What is the price, in writing, in which currency, and what does it buy? Discovered Labs counts scope in content units, where a landing-page optimization is 5 units and a net-new landing page 7. Siege Media's $8,000 is a content minimum. Compare like with like.
2. Which engines get reported, and are they split? Ask for a sample report. A single blended AI number hides the engine you are losing on.
3. Which named client moved, and on which prompt? Ask for the measurement window and the tracking tool as well. A visibility figure that arrives without them is only a claim.
4. What ships in week one? Get the first month's deliverables in writing, then check them against the first invoice.
