What you'll learn

Not trend-watching — data and templates you can actually run with

01

How Taiwan's B2B buyers really search with AI

Of the purchasing decision-makers we surveyed, how many turn to AI first when sizing up options, what they ask, and which engine they ask it on — the first B2B AI-search behavior study focused on the Taiwan market.

02

How citation preferences differ across six engines

What ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot each prefer to cite — content structures and source types, broken down engine by engine, with the content play that wins each one.

03

How to set up the three-layer GEO metrics framework

Citation rate, answer share, and Pipeline contribution — how to define, measure, and track each layer, the tools to use, and a sample dashboard for reporting up to leadership.

04

The 90-day GEO starter roadmap

A week-by-week action list from a standing start: audit in weeks 1–4, spin up the content engine in weeks 5–8, validate and iterate in weeks 9–12 — every step with a deliverable you can sign off on.

05

The 12-month content-engine planning template

A copy-and-go annual content plan: topic clusters, entity building, citable data assets, and the scheduling framework for a 3-week rewrite loop.

Who it's for

Written for three roles

B2B SaaS marketing leaders

The report answers: as demo sources shift from Google to ChatGPT, how should you rebalance next year's acquisition budget and KPIs?

Professional services partners

The report answers: when a client asks AI directly "which firm should I hire," how do you make sure your firm is in the answer?

Enterprise content team leads

The report answers: how do you rewrite years of accumulated content to go from "it ranks" to "it gets cited by AI"?

Authors & methodology

Every conclusion maps to a reproducible dataset

This report was written by the Tenten GEO research team — tracking, diagnosing, and lifting AI-engine citation rates for B2B clients is what we do every day, with Pipeline as the KPI.

Methodology: from July to December 2025, we sent 1,284 B2B buying-scenario queries each week to six engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot — logging over 200,000 answers and cited sources in total.

The GEO definition and three-layer metrics framework in this report align with our public guide: What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
