Challenge
Known on stage and on podcasts, absent from AI answers about the category.
AK Agency makes founders, brands, and category leaders into the named, cited entity across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Measured at baseline, and at re-test.
Senior buyers no longer scroll ten ranked links. They ask an AI. The answer is built from sources the AI trusts. Your brand may not be one of them yet.
Your category leadership exists. Your buyers' research tools don't know it yet. When a CMO asks ChatGPT about your space, the answer is built without you.
When you do surface, the description is stale, generic, or confuses you with someone else. The narrative around your name is being written. Just not by you.
Your competitor is in the named-recommendation set. You're not. Every cold buyer who research-prompts before they click is now skipping you entirely.
Three branded entities. Three category-territory terms. Five answer engines. Twelve weeks of work in between. This is the page from one of our recent baselines: what we measure, before we move it.
| Target query | ChatGPT | Perplexity | Claude | Gemini | Google AIO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "The founder, by name" Branded entity | |||||
| "The company, by name" Branded entity | |||||
| "Flagship product / methodology" Branded entity | |||||
| "Best platform for [category]" Category territory | |||||
| "Who is the recommended provider" Category territory | |||||
| "Thought-leader on [category]" Category territory |
Three named entities, moved in order. Each one compounds the next.
Known on stage and on podcasts, absent from AI answers about the category.
Become the named expert on the category's highest-intent questions.
AI answers name the founder. Enquiries arrive pre-qualified.
One of several in buyer research. Generic providers dominate the category.
Move from one of several to the recommended platform in CMO queries.
Senior buyers arrive having already been told the answer is you.
Product or methodology described loosely, disconnected from brand and founder.
Anchor product, brand and founder so authority flows across the cluster.
Founder credibility flows into the brand. Brand credibility flows into the product.
I started AK Agency because every senior brand I spoke to in 2025 told me the same thing: my buyer is asking AI before they call me, and I have no idea what it's saying.
This is the most important shift in commercial visibility since the move from print to search. The brands that anchor early will compound for years. We work with a small, hand-picked roster. I take every sales call personally.
If you think your category is being decided in AI answers right now, I'd like to hear from you.
Each phase is delivered by AK Agency end-to-end. You see the work, you see the measurement, you see the lift.
We agree six target queries: three branded, three category. We assess them across the five major AI surfaces, so you see exactly where you stand on day one.
We produce the anchor content the AI systems can cite: founder-led editorial, structured authority signals, and the right contextual interlinks across your entity cluster.
Earned media, native distribution, and the publisher relationships that make your name surface in trusted sources. The kind AI systems treat as ground truth.
We re-baseline every quarter. You see the lift, query by query, surface by surface. Reporting lands in your inbox monthly.
No tiers, no per-campaign charges, no surprise scope. A single managed retainer with a six-month minimum so the work has time to compound.
A light-touch managed programme. We deliver the heavy components hands-on. On-page and technical work is delivered as guidance for your team to implement, so we never need access to your site.
Tell us the category you want to be the answer for. Aleksandra reviews every enquiry personally and replies within one business day.
