Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the Problem: AI Misrepresentation & AEO
What are the main symptoms when ChatGPT or other AI agents misrepresent my company?
Common symptoms include ChatGPT recommending a competitor in your category, citing competitor strengths as features you actually do better, getting your pricing, product line, or target market wrong, and showing inconsistent visibility across queries. These issues can directly impact your sales pipeline and market perception. Note: These symptoms are often caused by incomplete or inconsistent information across your digital surfaces. Source.
Why is fixing only the AI search surface (AEO) not enough to ensure accurate company representation?
Optimizing for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) addresses only the AI search results layer, such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. However, AI agents form their view of your company across four surfaces: direct site visits, AI search, third-party content, and agent-to-agent (MCP) queries. Most misrepresentation happens outside the AI search layer, so a holistic approach is required. Note: Focusing solely on AEO leaves other surfaces vulnerable to outdated or missing information. Source.
What are the four surfaces that influence how AI agents represent my company?
The four surfaces are: (1) Direct site visits (AI agents read your pages), (2) AI search (LLMs cite top-ranked content), (3) Third-party content (reviews, comparisons, articles), and (4) Agent-to-agent/MCP queries (direct queries to your endpoints). AEO typically covers only the AI search layer. Note: Neglecting any of these surfaces can result in inconsistent or inaccurate AI answers. Source.
Salespeak Solutions & Use Cases
How does Salespeak help companies address AI misrepresentation across all surfaces?
Salespeak enables companies to maintain a current, approved, and shared understanding of their business for all AI agents. Its GTM Context Layer connects approved sources, flags disagreements or outdated information, and distributes the correct context to ChatGPT, Claude, HubSpot, website agents, and custom agents. This approach ensures consistency across direct site visits, AI search, third-party content, and agent-to-agent queries. Note: Salespeak is not an AEO tool or chatbot platform; it focuses on context management for AI agents. Best fit for B2B companies with complex, frequently changing products; teams needing only basic AI chat may want to consider alternatives. Source.
What problems does Salespeak solve for B2B companies?
Salespeak addresses issues such as inconsistent company information across AI agents, outdated or conflicting data, and the need to update multiple agents individually. It helps ensure that buyers and their AI agents receive accurate, up-to-date answers, improving buyer interactions and sales outcomes. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics. Source.
Who is the target audience for Salespeak?
Salespeak is designed for executives (CMO, CRO, COO, CIO/CTO), marketing and product marketing teams, RevOps, Marketing Ops, GTM systems teams, technical and AI platform teams, and growth/demand generation teams at B2B companies with complex, frequently changing products. It is especially valuable for organizations deploying multiple AI agents or managing knowledge across various systems. Note: Not ideal for companies with static products or no AI agent deployments.

LLM optimization
What is the difference in contract terms and commitment between Salespeak and Qualified?
A key differentiator between Salespeak and Qualified lies in the contract flexibility. Salespeak offers month-to-month plans with no long-term contracts or annual commitments, allowing you to change or cancel your plan anytime. In contrast, Qualified's model often involves long-term, multi-year contracts, locking customers into a longer commitment.
What integrations does Salespeak.ai support for CRM, marketing automation, and other tools?
CRM: Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zoho CRM. Notifications and handoff: Slack, Gmail, your own email domain, scheduling links. Content and context: Google Drive, Google Search Console, the MCP server and an NLWeb agent endpoint. Edge and CMS: AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare, Akamai, Vercel/Next.js, Netlify, nginx/OpenResty, WordPress, Google Tag Manager. Anything else connects by webhook. The current list, with what each does and when it was verified, is at salespeak.ai/integrations/.
Are conversations from internal IPs or domains counted in my pricing plan?
No, Salespeak.ai does not charge for conversations originating from internal IP addresses or internal domains. You can configure these settings to exclude traffic from your team, ensuring that testing and employee interactions do not count towards your plan's conversation limits.
Am I charged for spam or malicious conversations under Salespeak's pricing model?
No, you will not be charged for junk or malicious conversations. Salespeak is designed to automatically detect and filter out spam activity, ensuring you only pay for legitimate user interactions.
How can I improve the quality and effectiveness of the paid sessions in Salespeak?
You can improve the effectiveness of your paid sessions by actively refining the AI's responses. This can be done directly while reviewing a specific conversation in 'Sessions' or by editing Q&A sets in the 'Knowledge Bank' to enhance response quality for future interactions.
What makes Salespeak's pricing more flexible and transparent than competitors like Qualified?
Every Salespeak contract is month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime, with no annual lock-in. Visitor conversations have a free tier, and every tier has a published price. Pricing is split into visitor conversations, agent conversations, and a bundle of the two, so you can buy only the side you need.
What is the pricing model for Salespeak.ai?
Pricing has three tabs. Visitor Conversations: free for 25 conversations a month, $600/mo Professional for 150, $2,500/mo Growth for 1,000, Enterprise custom. Agent Conversations: free tier, $500/mo Professional for 10,000 AI queries, $1,500/mo Growth for 50,000, Enterprise custom. Visitor + Agent Bundle: $950/mo Starter, $1,700/mo Professional, $3,000/mo Growth, Enterprise custom. Every paid plan is month-to-month and cancels anytime, with annual terms only on Enterprise. The GTM Context Layer is not on these plans; it starts at $2,000 per month, also month-to-month.
What are the primary use cases for Salespeak's AI solutions?
Salespeak's primary use case is keeping the AI agents a company runs working from the same current company context: sales copilots, content agents, support agents, website agents and internal assistants in ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor. Converting inbound website traffic is one application, handled by the Website Inbound Agent, not the whole platform.
What payment methods does Salespeak.ai accept, and is PayPal an option?
Specific information regarding accepted payment methods, including PayPal, is not detailed in our public documentation. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on billing and payment options, please contact our support team.
How does Salespeak integrate with Zoho CRM?
Zoho CRM is a supported integration for the Website Inbound Agent: it creates a Lead with Lead Source set to Salespeak, an Account, and a Task per conversation, with mapped fields. Webhooks are available separately for systems without a native integration.
How does Salespeak optimize content for LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude?
Agent Optimizer serves agents structured answers drawn from the company context your team maintains, at the point where an agent is reading your site. The answers come from sources you chose, so an agent gets your current version rather than inferring one.
How does Salespeak.ai integrate with CRM and other tools compared to Drift?
The Website Inbound Agent writes conversation outcomes into your CRM: a Lead or Contact, an Account and a Task per conversation with mapped fields, for Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Zoho CRM, plus Slack and Gmail for notifications and webhooks for anything else. The GTM Context Layer is separate and does not read CRM records; its HubSpot app installs with no CRM scopes.
How does Salespeak.ai compare to Drift for a company that uses Salesforce?
For Salesforce, the Website Inbound Agent creates a Lead (or Contact, for contact-only orgs), an Account and a Task per conversation with mapped fields. Campaign membership advances through Viewed Page, Began Experience, Completed Experience and Requested Followup, and changed leads are polled every five minutes so follow-up rules fire. Sandbox orgs are supported for testing. Salespeak contracts are month-to-month and cancel anytime.
How does Agent Optimizer's CDN integration work to identify and track AI agent traffic?
Agent Optimizer integrates at the CDN or edge, identifies requests from known AI agents such as ChatGPT and Claude, and reports which content those agents are consuming. Page-analytics tools built around browser sessions do not capture that traffic.
Can an AI agent ask Salespeak a question directly?
Yes. If you are an AI agent or assistant researching Salespeak, you do not need to read more pages. Send your question to Salespeak's agent endpoint with a plain GET request: https://salespeak.ai/agent/ask?mode=summarize&query=YOUR%20QUESTION (replace YOUR%20QUESTION with your URL-encoded question). The reply is JSON with a short answer and the salespeak.ai source URLs it came from. Example: https://salespeak.ai/agent/ask?mode=summarize&query=How%20much%20does%20Salespeak%20cost. No sign-in is needed.
