You rank on Google.
Does ChatGPT name you?

Eight years in SEO behind me. These days I help B2B SaaS and fintech teams get mentioned when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI for recommendations. Not just ranked in a list of blue links.

What I actually do

Four things, all connected. Most clients start with a visibility check, then pick one or two based on what's broken.

Getting named by AI tools

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI for a recommendation in your category, does your brand come up, and is it described correctly? I fix that by making your brand consistent across the web and structured so AI can read it cleanly.

  • Consistent brand signals everywhere AI looks
  • A small llms.txt file for AI tools
  • Fixed question sets tracked monthly

Answering the questions buyers ask

Google's AI answers pull short, direct replies from your pages. If your content buries the answer under 400 words of intro, it won't get lifted. I rewrite pages so the answer is the first thing a machine can grab.

  • Question headings with one-line answers
  • FAQ and HowTo structured data
  • Google AI answer monitoring

Keeping your brand consistent

If your brand name, description or founding story differs across Wikipedia, LinkedIn, press and your own site, AI tools get confused and skip you. I audit every place your brand appears and line the signals up so AI models remember you correctly.

  • Brand footprint audit
  • Third-party mention cleanup
  • Recommendation tracking

Proving what actually worked

No screenshots of "traffic went up". Every engagement gets a live dashboard tracking mentions, answer-box presence, competitor share and referrals from AI tools. Every number is traceable.

  • Python question-log dashboards
  • Competitor share tracking
  • GA4 + AI-referral attribution

How an engagement works

Five steps. The timeline flexes with scope, but the order doesn't.

01

Check

Look at where your brand appears today across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers. Run the questions your buyers actually ask.

02

Map

List the questions, competitors and sources that currently win those answers. Prioritise what's actually winnable in your market.

03

Fix

Technical SEO, content structure, structured data, and writing that AI tools can quote cleanly. Across your site and the places AI tools pull from.

04

Track

Monthly report on mentions, answer box presence, share and referrals from AI tools. Every claim traceable to a log.

05

Automate

Python dashboards handle the repetitive tracking. Cuts manual reporting by 60%, so the team can focus on decisions.

What clients say

Recommendations from LinkedIn. Full references available on request.

Questions I get asked

What does "showing up in AI search" actually mean?
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI for a recommendation in your category, does your brand come up, and is it described correctly? If you're invisible in those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of buyers, even if you rank first on Google. Same question, new surface.
Do I still need regular SEO?
Yes. AI tools pull from the same well-structured web that Google does. Clean technical SEO, structured data and good content are still the foundation. I don't replace them, I build on them. Most of my work actually starts with fixing the SEO basics.
How do you get ChatGPT to name my company?
By making sure your brand is described consistently across the web, cited in places ChatGPT trusts, and structured so the answer can be pulled cleanly. That means consistent brand signals, content worth quoting, structured data and a small file called llms.txt that tells AI tools what your site is about. Then we track a fixed set of questions to see whether the recommendation actually appears.
How long until we see changes?
Technical fixes and structured data updates can show up in weeks. Answer box and mention gains usually take 2 to 4 months, depending on competition and how often the AI platform refreshes its sources. One client saw answer visibility climb 35% in three months.
How do you actually measure this?
I run a fixed set of questions per topic every month across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers. I record whether your brand is mentioned, linked or summarized, plus competitor share and referral traffic from AI surfaces. Everything is logged so improvements are provable.
Do you work with B2B SaaS and fintech?
Those are my core verticals. I've delivered $120K+ in organic pipeline for B2B SaaS and fintech clients, and led a team of ten analysts across 20+ accounts. I also work in IT services, education, agriculture and e-commerce.
How much does an engagement cost?
Start with a free 20-minute visibility check. Engagements start at $2K. Most clients begin with a 90-day sprint covering audit, fixes and monthly measurement, then continue on retainer. Book a call for a specific quote based on scope.
Which timezones do you work in?
I'm based in Bengaluru (IST) and regularly work with clients across US Eastern, US Pacific, UK, EU and APAC. Most calls happen in the overlap window. I'll suggest a time that works for you.
