TL;DR: Key Takeaway
verdict
Rock The Rankings is the Discovered Labs alternative for US-market B2B SaaS teams between $2M and $50M ARR that want the same AI-search-first, pipeline-measured approach from a specialist with seven years and 300+ engagements behind it, built on a smaller set of solution-aware pages rather than daily content volume, with a demo forecast written before the agreement. Virayo ranks highest among the other alternatives for teams that want citation tracking on a platform they can keep. Discovered Labs remains the right choice for a Series A or later SaaS company that wants high-volume, AI-engineered content and performance-based pricing from an engineering-led team.

How we scored
The criteria, weighted for pipeline.
We reviewed public case studies, client rosters, pricing pages, and third-party reviews. One question outranks the rest: does the agency connect search activity to pipeline you can audit, or does it report traffic and hope you are impressed.

Rock The Rankings
Virayo
Virayo, based in Boise, works only with B2B SaaS companies past product-market fit and scopes each program to trials, demos, and revenue targets. Its Integrated Discovery Framework takes each priority topic across organic results, AI Overviews, review sites, listicles, communities, and LLMs together.
It is the closest match on this page to Discovered Labs' build-your-own-tracker model, from a US agency with six more years of history. The trade is terms: a six-month initial term at $7,500 a month rather than month to month.
MADX Digital
MADX Digital, a London SaaS and tech specialist, was founded in 2021 by Perry Steward and Toni Koraza. AI search, SEO, and digital PR are sold from monthly tiers on its site on a three-month rolling term, and its 14 Clutch reviews average 4.9.
It is a steadier, slightly older London option with a fuller price list and in-house PR. The thing it does not match is Discovered Labs' reporting unit: MADX publishes rankings and traffic, not sales-accepted leads.
Siege Media
Founded in 2012 by Ross Hudgens, Siege Media runs from Austin and four other US offices with a team of 50 to 249. It calls itself a full-service GEO agency today, and its content, digital PR, affiliate, Reddit, and design work runs for Zendesk, Zapier, Asana, Intuit, and Chime.
It is what Discovered Labs' content-volume model looks like at enterprise scale with a 14-year record, and it is the pick when production capacity and a long review trail matter more than month-to-month terms or pipeline-unit reporting.
Skale
Jake Stainer, formerly of Typeform and TravelPerk, and Italo Viale founded Skale in London in 2019. It runs GEO and SEO as one system, reports in SQLs, signups, and MRR, and has 21 Clutch reviews averaging 4.9.
For a Discovered Labs buyer, it is the same AI-search-first thesis from a London agency that has been running it for five years longer, with a deeper review record and European-language coverage. It does not offer a US base or a founder-run account.
Omniscient Digital
Marketers from HubSpot, Shopify, People.ai, and Workato started Omniscient Digital in Austin in 2019. It reports organic in pipeline and ARR, and its published research on how models select sources sits alongside Discovered Labs' as the most detailed public AI search evidence in the category.
It is the US, mid-market, strategy-led version of the research-driven approach, and it asks for an annual commitment rather than a monthly one.
Powered by Search
Dev Basu founded Powered by Search in Toronto in 2009; it sells paid media, SEO and LLM visibility, and RevOps as three published-tier levers delivered by senior-only pods. SentinelOne, Varonis, Basecamp, Fortra, and Elastic appear on its client roster.
It answers the track-record preference with seventeen years, and it adds paid media and RevOps that Discovered Labs does not sell. It serves B2B broadly and has no verified Clutch reviews, which its own case studies have to carry.

Common questions about hiring an agency
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
Why do B2B SaaS teams look for Discovered Labs alternatives?
+Rarely because of philosophy, which Discovered Labs gets right: AI search first, pipeline as the unit, month to month. The preferences that come up are a smaller set of solution-aware pages instead of daily content volume, a longer track record than an agency founded in 2024 can show, a US-based partner for a US-market program, and demo scenarios in writing before the agreement rather than performance-based pricing after it.
Is Discovered Labs good for B2B SaaS?
+Yes. It was built for AI search from the start by an ex-Stanford AI researcher and a growth marketer, it publishes its CITABLE framework and research on two million citations, and its case studies are specific: Gladia sales-accepted leads 7x in four months, incident.io meetings up 22%, Sova demo requests up 167%. Its Clutch record is 4.9 across 4 reviews.
How much does Discovered Labs cost compared to the alternatives?
+Discovered Labs starts at €5,495 a month on month-to-month, performance-based terms, with a €4,370 one-off diagnostic. On this page, Skale starts at $4,000 a month, Rock The Rankings at $5,050, MADX Digital at $5,500, Virayo at $7,500, Powered by Search at $9,000 for organic, Omniscient at $120,000 a year, and Siege Media quotes per client.
Which Discovered Labs alternative is US-based?
+Rock The Rankings, Virayo, Omniscient Digital, and Siege Media are US-based. Skale and MADX Digital are in London, and Powered by Search is in Toronto.
Does Discovered Labs do SEO as well as AI search?
+Yes. It runs SEO and answer engine optimization as one service, with technical SEO, content, link building, and Reddit marketing alongside AI visibility. The differences on this page are about content approach, track record, location, and how accountability is set, not about whether SEO is included.
How is this list scored, and did you rank yourself first?
+We did. Rock The Rankings publishes this list and ranks itself, and every agency on the board is scored on the same seven weighted criteria shown above, with pipeline accountability carrying the most weight. Discovered Labs itself is profiled but not scored, and the routing section under our entry sends you to a competitor, or back to Discovered Labs, when that is the better fit.
