When we started with ChatFeatured, Vessel had almost no presence in AI search. Now we're consistently showing up ahead of competitors. Their agent acts as our dedicated AEO specialist.
The Opportunity
GPs evaluating fund management software ask questions in ChatGPT and Perplexity before calling anyone: "best investor onboarding software for private funds," "tools to manage LP fundraising pipeline for VC funds," "best software for private fund fundraising." When Vessel started, Vessel's AI visibility sat below 0.5% — effectively invisible in the channel where buyers were making shortlists.
The Solution
Mapped 203 prompts across every product stage
LP onboarding, fundraising pipeline, fund administration, investor reporting, compliance. ChatFeatured tracked each across all major engines, surfaced where Vessel was absent, and identified content and structural gaps keeping the brand out of AI answers.
Ran ChatFeatured as a dedicated AEO specialist
The agent identified visibility gaps, recommended and executed content fixes, and tracked citation lift so the team stayed focused on product and sales instead of manually auditing AI results.
The Results
2,200%+ visibility growth: <0.5% to >11% across 203 prompts since inception; +30% in the most recent 3 months.
Single-week jumps: +35.5 points on "future of LP onboarding in AI-native fund platform," +34.9 on "best investor onboarding software for private funds," +19.9 on "investor onboarding software for PE funds."
5,000+ citations from ChatFeatured-guided content in the first 10 days after publishing.
2,900 brand mentions across answer engines in the last 30 days.
Broad-based gains across fundraising (+18.7), fund software (+18.4), agentic tools (+17.2), and LP data accuracy (+16.6).

The Outcome
ChatFeatured turned AI search from a channel Vessel didn't exist in into one where they consistently outpace competitors across every major product category.
Fund managers now research software the way they research everything else, by asking an AI. Vessel is the answer they find.
