United States, 6th Apr 2026— Cory Maki, an AI search strategist based in Taichung, Taiwan, has published Reddit, AI Overviews and GEO: The SaaS Founders Playbook for Winning AI Search Visibility. The book provides a structured framework for SaaS founders and startup teams seeking to earn citations in AI-generated search results from platforms including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
The book addresses a growing challenge in the SaaS industry. AI Overviews now appear in over half of all United States searches, and for B2B technology queries, that figure rises to approximately 70 percent. When AI-generated answers appear, only about 8 percent of users click a traditional organic result. AI responses typically cite three to four brands, leaving the majority of SaaS companies invisible in this new discovery layer.
“Most SaaS companies have strong SEO foundations but no strategy for AI search,” said Cory Maki. “The discovery layer has shifted from ranked links to AI-generated answers, and the companies that adapt now will build advantages that compound over time.”
The book introduces the ARC Method, a framework Maki developed for systematically earning AI search citations. ARC stands for Audit, Reddit and Reputation, and Citability. The Audit phase measures current AI visibility across platforms. The Reddit and Reputation phase addresses off-site authority on the platforms AI models trust most, with a focus on Reddit, which accounts for approximately 21 percent of all Google AI Overview citations according to research by Profound. The Citability phase covers on-site content structure, schema markup and cross-source consistency.
The book includes a 90-day implementation roadmap with weekly tasks, comment frameworks for Reddit engagement, subreddit scoring criteria, platform-by-platform source analysis and templates for AI visibility auditing.
Cory Maki previously served as staff editor and business development manager at Grit Daily, where he covered the SaaS and startup ecosystem. He has over a decade of experience in SEO and online reputation management. He holds a degree in Business Finance from the University of Wyoming College of Business and is fluent in English and conversational in Mandarin Chinese.
