Executive Summary
LeadSquared had carved out a strong niche as the preferred CRM for high-velocity sales teams in healthcare, education and financial services. But when sales managers searched for CRM software on AI platforms, they were seeing Salesforce, HubSpot and Freshsales - not LeadSquared.
The core issue was that AI models lacked the vertical-specific entity associations that would make LeadSquared the obvious recommendation for regulated industries in India. The product was purpose-built for these sectors, but AI didn't know that yet.
The Challenge
- Absent from ChatGPT recommendations for CRM for healthcare and education CRM queries
- Global CRM giants dominating AI answers despite weaker vertical fit
- Thin AI-trusted content for sales automation in Indian regulated industries
- Weak citation presence in vertical SaaS publications and industry forums
Our Strategy

The Results

LLMBuddy connected LeadSquared to the exact buyer queries our sales team was losing to AI-formed first impressions. The 77% pipeline growth from AI search was a direct result of that positioning work.
Impact Summary
