With a team of 200-300 passionate professionals, they've built a reputation for quality and innovation in their space. Like many growing businesses, they faced the challenge of standing out in a crowded market while building sustainable, long-term growth beyond paid advertising. Industry Enterprise SaaS - Communications (Regulated) Founded 2011 Team Size 200-300 Location United States ## The Challenge ### Invisible in AI search, in a category where every claim must clear compliance A YC-backed enterprise communications platform, US-based with roughly $85M in annual revenue and tens of thousands of business customers including global enterprise logos, runs programmable voice and messaging at enterprise scale, now extending into AI voice agents. Its buyers research vendors inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI, but the brand was largely absent for the questions that matter: building AI voice agents, HIPAA-safe patient messaging, replacing legacy IVR. The hard part is the category. Operating under HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, the brand cannot simply publish to win AI citations, every claim has to survive compliance review, which is exactly where most content programs stall. #### What They Were Struggling With: ❌ Operating under HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, every published claim must clear review ❌ Largely absent from AI answers on AI-voice, HIPAA-safe messaging, and IVR-replacement queries ❌ 422 legacy URLs not earning citations; only 7 clear winners ❌ Compliance review stalling the content velocity needed to compete in AI search ## Our Solution ### Compliance-aware AEO that earns citations and survives review We built an AEO program engineered for a regulated category. Every draft is written and reviewed against HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 sensitivities with reviewer sign-off, so claims are citable and safe, the difference between content AI will quote and content a compliance team kills. We mapped a buyer-query universe of roughly 100 prompts across four pillars (AI Voice Agents, Healthcare, Customer Service, Education), re-evaluated monthly against visibility, and audited the full 422-URL legacy footprint to concentrate authority where AI can cite it. #### Our Strategic Approach: 1 ##### Compliance-Aware Content Standard Every draft reviewed against HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 sensitivities with reviewer sign-off built into the workflow, so claims are safe to publish and credible enough for AI to cite. 2 ##### 422-URL Audit + Authority Concentration Classified the full footprint (7 winners, 72 page-2, 149 to retitle, 194 to prune or consolidate) so crawl budget and authority concentrate on citable assets instead of an aging long tail. 3 ##### Pillar Architecture for AI Buyers AI Voice Agents, Healthcare, Customer Service, and Education hubs mapped to a buyer-query universe of roughly 100 prompts, re-evaluated monthly against visibility. 4 ##### Fast-Win Targeting Prioritized low-difficulty, real-demand queries (e.g. 'AI outbound calls', KD 3, 210/mo) to earn early citations while the larger regulated hubs clear review and ship. ## How We Made It Happen Our step-by-step approach delivered measurable progress during this active engagement. Here's exactly how we did it: 1 #### Footprint Audit + Compliance Mapping Crawled and classified all 422 URLs and set the HIPAA/SOC2/ISO review bar every new and existing asset has to clear. 3 weeks 2 #### Pillar Architecture + Prompt Mapping Designed the four-pillar hub-and-spoke and mapped a buyer-query universe of roughly 100 prompts to it. 3 weeks 3 #### Compliance-Aware Production Producing spokes under a HIPAA/SOC2/ISO-aware review workflow with reviewer sign-off, starting with fast-win queries. Ongoing 4 #### Concentrate Authority + Re-Evaluate Monthly Executing the prune/retitle plan and re-evaluating the prompt set monthly against visibility as compliant content ships. Ongoing ## The Results Speak for Themselves During this active engagement, Enterprise Communications Platform built measurable momentum. Here's what we achieved together: HIPAA + SOC 2 + ISO Compliance Standard Content standard with reviewer sign-off, so every published claim is safe to ship and credible enough for AI to cite. 422 URLs Audited & Triaged Full legacy footprint classified to concentrate authority where AI can cite it. ~100 Buyer Prompts Mapped Buyer-query universe across four pillars, re-evaluated monthly against visibility. 194 Legacy Pages Retired Pages slated to prune or consolidate so they stop diluting authority. ## What Enterprise Communications Platform Had to Say > "In our category you cannot just publish, every claim has to clear compliance first. Snezzi built AEO content that earns citations and survives that review, which is something nobody else we spoke to could actually do." ## Key Takeaways Here are the most important lessons from Enterprise Communications Platform's transformation that other enterprise saas - communications (regulated) businesses can apply: 💡 In a regulated category, the constraint is not ideas, it is approval. AEO only works if the content can clear HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO review. 💡 A compliance-aware content standard is an advantage: AI engines cite sources whose claims hold up, and reviewers stop blocking the pipeline. 💡 For an established brand, the first AEO win is often subtraction, pruning low-value pages so authority concentrates where AI can cite it. 💡 Fast-win, low-difficulty queries earn early citations while the high-value regulated hubs clear review and ship. ## More Success Stories Discover how other businesses are achieving growth through AI visibility optimization.
