Highest-leverage gaps for Ookla

  • Crunchbase

    Crunchbase is the canonical company-data source for LLM enrichment. A missing profile leaves LLMs without firmographics.

  • G2

    G2 reviews feed comparison and 'best X' query responses. Missing G2 presence is a high-leverage gap for B2B SaaS.

  • Capterra

    Capterra listings drive comparison-style answers. Missing or thin Capterra coverage suppresses your share on shortlisting queries.

  • TrustRadius

    Enterprise B2B buyers research here. Feeds comparison-style LLM responses on category queries.

  • Forbes

    Long-form authority sources weight heavily in Claude and Perplexity. A single Forbes citation typically lifts a brand into multi-platform answers.

Top Growth Opportunities

Win the "best network intelligence platform in 2026" query in answer engines

This is a high-intent buyer query that competitors are winning today. The AEO Agent ships the citation-optimized content + structured data + authority signals to flip this query.

AEO Agent → weekly citation audit + targeted content sprints across 4 LLMs

Publish into Crunchbase (and chained authority sources)

Crunchbase is the single highest-leverage trust node missing for Ookla. LLMs draw heavily from it for unbranded category recommendations.

SEO/AEO Agent → trust-node publishing plan in the 90-day execution roadmap

No FAQ schema on top product pages

Answer engines extract from FAQ schema 4x more often than from prose. Most B2B sites at this stage don't carry it.

Content + AEO Agent → ship the structural fixes in Sprint 1

How It Works

Audit. Publish. Compound.

3 phases focused on one outcome: more Ookla citations across the answer engines your buyers use.

1

SEO + AEO Audit & Roadmap

You'll know exactly where Ookla is losing buyers — across Google search and the answer engines they ask before they ever click.

We score 50-100 "network intelligence platform" queries across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Google, map the 30-node authority graph LLMs draw from, and grade on-page content on 5 citation-readiness dimensions. Output: a 90-day publishing plan ranked by lift × effort.

2

Publishing Sprints That Win Both

Buyers start finding Ookla on Google AND in the answers ChatGPT and Perplexity hand them.

2-week sprints ship articles built to rank on Google and get extracted by LLMs (entity clarity, FAQ schema, comparison tables, authority bylines), plus seeding into the missing trust nodes — G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Wikipedia, and the rest. Real publishing, not strategy decks.

3

Compounding Share, Every Week

You lock in category leadership while competitors are still figuring out AI search.

Weekly re-scan tracks ranking + citation share vs. the leaders this audit named. New unbranded "network intelligence platform" queries get added to the publishing queue automatically. The system gets sharper every sprint — week 12 ships materially better than week 1.

You built a strong network intelligence platform. Let's build the AI search engine to match.
