Discovered Labs is a done-for-you SEO and AEO agency for B2B SaaS: heavy content output, pipeline-framed reporting, and a retainer from about €6,995 a month. The caveats to weigh: its results are self-reported with no disclosed methodology or audit, it runs SEO and AEO as one program, and it owns the work rather than upskilling your team. Resonate Labs is the measurement-first, lower-commitment alternative.
What it is
A done-for-you SEO and AEO agency for B2B SaaS. Heavy content production, pipeline-framed reporting, a month-to-month retainer from about €6,995/mo.
What to weigh
Results are self-reported. SEO and AEO run as one blended service. Done-for-you means Discovered Labs owns the execution, not your team.
The fit question
Whether a full done-for-you retainer is the right shape for you, or a measurement-first, lower-commitment start suits where you are.
What Discovered Labs is
Discovered Labs is a done-for-you organic-search agency built for the AI era, working exclusively with B2B SaaS companies. In its own words, it runs "SEO and AEO as one service" and embeds into your team to own that growth, aiming to win Google rankings and AI citations at the same time. Its stated focus is Series A and later SaaS, and its co-founder Ben Moore is the technical half of the founding team, described as an ex-Stanford AI researcher who worked at Stripe and Coinbase.
The offering is execution-heavy. Deliverables span daily content production, editorial articles, landing pages, original research, Reddit marketing, digital PR, backlink building, and citation mapping, with a proprietary AI Visibility Tracker and weekly reporting on the measurement side. It tracks visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Named clients include Instantly, incident.io, Gladia, Sova Assessment, Granola, and Passion.io.

What it does
Three things Discovered Labs does, stated plainly before the caveats.
1. It ships content, not just advice. Plenty of GEO engagements deliver a strategy deck and leave the production to you. Discovered Labs runs daily content production, editorial articles, landing pages, and original research as part of the retainer. If your constraint is execution capacity, Discovered Labs covers that production directly.
2. It frames results around pipeline, not just traffic. Its published case studies lead with business outcomes: meetings booked, MQLs, demo requests, and sales-accepted leads, rather than rankings alone. The figures themselves are self-reported, which the next section takes up.
3. Its commercial terms are transparent and flexible. Pricing is published in tiers, retainers are month-to-month with 30 days notice, and a lower-commitment diagnostic exists as an entry point. You can see the cost before a sales call and leave without a long lock-in.
Limitations and risks to weigh before signing
Every done-for-you retainer has trade-offs. These are the four to weigh before signing with Discovered Labs, and to raise on the call.
1. The results are self-reported. Discovered Labs' case-study numbers, a seven-times increase in sales-accepted leads here, a 167 percent lift in demo requests there, are its own figures, published without a disclosed sample size, methodology, or independent audit. That makes the proof hard to trust at face value. Ask what an outside party could verify, and for recurring measurement rather than a one-time result, especially for AI visibility, which is volatile enough that the same question asked 100 times returns the same brand list less than 1 percent of the time, per SparkToro and Gumshoe's study of nearly 3,000 runs.
2. SEO and AEO run as one blended service. Discovered Labs' pitch is winning Google rankings and AI citations together, which suits teams that want both under one roof. If your actual goal is AI-answer visibility specifically, ask what is measured against AI answers, on a recurring basis, versus what is reported as SEO rankings and traffic. The blend is a feature for some buyers and a blur for others.
3. Done-for-you means they own the execution. Discovered Labs describes embedding into your team to own SEO and AEO growth. That takes the work off your plate, and it also means the capability lives with the agency, not your team. If independence matters, ask what documentation, process, and knowledge transfer to you, and whether you could keep the program running if the engagement ended.
4. It is a full retainer commitment. The entry tier is about €6,995 a month, with the €4,370 diagnostic as the lowest-commitment way in. If your budget is tight, or you would rather start with measurement and scale into execution, that full-retainer commitment is worth weighing against a lighter-touch start.
Together, these tell you whether a full done-for-you retainer is the right shape for where you are. The GEO vendor RFP and scorecard turns them into a checklist you can run on any vendor call.
Who Discovered Labs fits, and who should look elsewhere
Discovered Labs fits a specific buyer well.
Where Discovered Labs fits: a B2B SaaS team, Series A or later, that wants a full done-for-you SEO and AEO program with heavy content output and pipeline-oriented reporting, and is ready for a retainer starting around €6,995 a month. If you want execution off your plate and both search and AI visibility handled together, it is built for exactly that buyer.
Where a different shape may fit better: if you would rather start with a low-commitment diagnostic and keep AI-answer measurement at the center, owning the numbers instead of having them run for you, a measurement-first option is a different starting point. Resonate Labs, for instance, begins with a self-serve $850 AI Visibility Crawl scored across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then hands you the plan and the fixes.

Frequently asked questions
Does Discovered Labs actually ship content, or just tell you what to write?
It ships content. Discovered Labs is a done-for-you agency whose deliverables include daily content production, editorial articles, landing pages, original research, Reddit marketing, and digital PR, alongside its AI Visibility Tracker and weekly reporting. It executes the work rather than only advising. The question to ask is not whether it produces, but whether the output is measured against AI answers on a recurring basis, or reported mainly as content volume and SEO rankings.
Does Discovered Labs prove pipeline impact, or just citation counts?
Its published pipeline figures are self-reported, with no disclosed sample size, methodology, or independent audit, so treat them as claims rather than proof. Discovered Labs does frame results around pipeline, not just traffic: its case studies cite meetings booked, MQLs, demo requests, and sales-accepted leads, for example a stated seven-times increase in sales-accepted leads for one client and a 167 percent lift in demo requests for another. But those are its own numbers. Ask what an outside party could verify, and for recurring measurement rather than a single case-study snapshot.
Will Discovered Labs leave my team able to run GEO, or dependent on them?
Discovered Labs is a done-for-you model. It describes embedding into your team to own SEO and AEO growth, which means it runs the program rather than training your team to run it. That is a strength if you want execution off your plate, and a question to raise if you care about independence. Before signing, ask what knowledge, documentation, and process transfer to your team, and whether you could continue the program if the engagement ended.
How much does Discovered Labs cost?
Discovered Labs publishes tiered retainer pricing. As of July 2026 its Establish tier is 6,995 euros per month and its Compete tier is 10,995 euros per month, with custom work from 15,995 euros per month; a one-off Search Visibility Diagnostic is 4,370 euros and is credited to the first retainer month if you sign within 14 days. Retainers are month-to-month with 30 days notice, and committing to three or six months lowers the rate. Pricing is transparent, though the entry retainer is still a full commitment: weigh whether a lower-commitment, measurement-first start fits before signing on.
What should I weigh before hiring Discovered Labs for B2B SaaS?
Discovered Labs is a good fit for a B2B SaaS team that wants a full done-for-you program with heavy content output and pipeline reporting, and is ready for a retainer starting around 6,995 euros a month. Weigh four things before signing: its results are self-reported rather than independently audited; it runs SEO and AEO as one blended service, so confirm what is measured against AI answers specifically; it owns execution, so ask about team independence; and the retainer is a full commitment, so a measurement-first or lower-commitment start may suit a tight budget better.
