Get your product into Olive’s research reports
Every Olive report is a structured RFP project — defined requirements, scored the same way for every vendor. You respond the way you already answer RFPs for specific buyer projects: same process, more exposure to the buyers evaluating your category.

new SaaS category reports a year — our baseline
Top reports are among the most-read pages on olive.app — read by people actively evaluating the category, and increasingly surfaced as citations in AI-generated answers. Every new report is another surface where your product can be found.
Top-report active users: Olive site analytics, calendar 2025. AI-chatbot stat: G2 2026 Buyer Behavior Report. What a report draws depends on its category — potential, not a promise.
How ranking actually works here
These reports aren’t one top-to-bottom verdict. Each scores vendors against the requirements selected for that report’s use case — so the same category ranks differently depending on which buyer it was built for.

Illustrative — real vendor names, example scores. One ERP category, sliced by buyer: the overall leader isn’t the leader for every buyer — and the report says so, position by position.
Requirements are authored for the report’s buyer
Behind every slice is a requirement set Olive builds to fit that report’s buyer audience — the same way a real evaluation is scoped. You answer it once, like any RFP.

Illustrative — requirement names and counts are examples. Answering positions you across every slice of the report, including placements short of #1 — and your answers carry into future reports built on new buyer demand in the category, without answering again.
Getting in works like responding to any RFP
Behind every report is a live RFP project in Olive. Three steps:
-
1
Follow the submission link.Create your Olive account and claim your vendor profile.
-
2
Respond to the report’s RFP.The same requirement set every vendor in the report answered. Your team can collaborate on it like any proposal.
-
3
Submit.Your response is scored mechanically against the report’s requirements. Nobody’s opinion of you is in the loop.
Timing, plainly: we can’t guarantee a publication date. Reports with active demand refresh about annually, sooner when demand justifies it. Submit now and you’re in the data set for the next pass — and for every future use-case report in the category.

Opportunities to stand out
Olive scores what a product does. What scores can’t tell a buyer is what it’s like to live with it — so we’ve partnered with proofmap, a third-party firm that captures and verifies customer proof. There are two ways to get it featured in your report section:
Validate an existing success story.
Proofmap audits a case study you already have and documents the verification: who the customer is, who approved it, and when it was approved. Your report entry then features it with that verification record, embedded in your section exactly as shown here.

Every feature is labeled for what it is — verified by Proofmap or conducted by Proofmap — because the label is what makes it proof.
Proofmap runs the update — your feature ships without the wait.

Proofmap verifies the storyVerified stories are audited — who the customer is, who approved it, when. Conducted stories are produced on the record, directly with your customer. -
2
Compiles the RFP responseYour requirement answers are assembled and submitted alongside the proof — scored mechanically, like every vendor. -

Updates the report with the featureAn off-cycle update ships — your submission and your customer proof go live together, without waiting for the next pass.
What featuring hands you as the vendor.
A call-out from a named third party.
The report already scores and cites your product against the buyer’s requirements. Featuring adds a second voice — a story that isn’t you talking, verified or conducted by Proofmap, attributed to a real customer, and labeled by the firm that checked it.
Expedite your listing.
Proofmap maintains these reports in partnership with Olive, so completing a feature ships an off-cycle report update. Already in the report? Your refresh goes live without waiting for the scheduled pass. Not in it yet? Your submission is added sooner, together with your proof.
A link that lands where it resonates.
Your feature links from the report to the verified story page on your site — not your homepage. Readers who click arrive on the page built for exactly the buyer this report serves.
A marketing asset you keep.
The verified story — and the video, when conducted — is yours to run beyond the report. Conducted stories also come with your own version for your website, restyled to sit on your brand’s background, with the verified by Proofmap label traveling with it.
- Inclusion and position are earned from submitted evaluation data, scored mechanically. They cannot be bought — by anyone, at any price.
- Customer proof features never affect scores, position, or whether a vendor is included.
- All featured content is disclosed and attributed to Proofmap as the third party that verified or conducted it.
- Olive is not paid by vendors.
Same rules for every vendor — including the ones we like.
