Be named on the shortlist, described correctly.
KailxLabs gets B2B vendors and consumer brands named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity to shortlist, and described correctly when customers check them out. We earn coverage in the sources each engine reads and fix wrong facts at the source. National brands start with a $1,500 baseline, then the Growth program at $3,500 a month or Scale from $6,500.
What buyers ask AI.
Examples of the questions we measure. B2B questions come from your RFQs and sales calls; consumer questions from reviews, support and search data.
B2B vendors
Consumer brands
Example questions, not client data.
Where brand answers come from.
For services, finance and travel brands the battle is the text answer, not product cards. Earned mentions decide who gets named; your own pages often win the link.
Earned coverage
Journalism and trade publications carry much of what AI says about vendors. Engineers and procurement teams read technical publications before vendor sites, and so do the engines.
Named experts
AI answers cite named people on LinkedIn, often more than company pages. Your experts writing under their own names count.
Capabilities, fees and policies
Processes, certifications, industries served, fees and cancellation terms in plain HTML text, not locked in PDFs. Brand owned pages often win the link when buyers weigh options.
What customers say
For consumer brands, "is it legit" and complaint threads shape the tone of the answer. Old threads keep getting cited until something better exists.
Wikidata, registries, profiles
Company facts across your site, LinkedIn, Wikidata and business registries need to agree. Wikipedia only through its own disclosed process.
Useful, rarely decisive
Vendor directories appear in some answers, but they rarely decide who gets named. We keep them accurate and spend the effort where engines actually look.
of AI search volume sits in categories with no clear leader. In 53.7% of 1,094 categories, no brand led even 3 of 5 prompts.
Growth Memo research, cited by Seer Interactive · 1,094 categories, ChatGPT · Jan to Jun 2026, published 31 Aug 2026 · vendor data
Most categories have no settled leader in ChatGPT answers yet. For a national brand, that means the shortlist is still open, and the sources that fill it can be found and worked on.
We sell shortlist presence and qualified enquiries, not an acronym. Nobody searches for "AI search for manufacturers"; they want to be on the list when a buyer asks.
What we do for national brands.
Four pieces of work, each judged on the number it can move: answers that name you, described correctly.
Check the shortlist.
The questions from your RFQs, RFPs and sales calls, or your customers’ "is it legit" and "vs" questions, asked on every major AI app until the answer settles.
Citation engineeringGet named where AI looks.
Earned coverage in the trade press and category lists each engine cites, built on real data you can share.
Brand factsFix what AI gets wrong.
Discontinued lines, old leadership, wrong certifications, stale fees. Traced to the source and corrected there.
Answer ready websitePages AI can quote.
Capability, fee, policy and comparison pages in plain text, fair and dated.
Worked questions, untouched questions.
Before we start, we split your buyer questions in two. We work on one half and leave the other alone. Priority questions checked daily, with several runs each time, and every app gets its own row with a count and a likely range.
A change counts only when the ranges separate. We add an open text "how did you first hear about us" field to your RFQ or signup form, so the report shows what buyers say as well as what AI says.
The usual path for brands.
Programs run month to month after the first 90 days.
A measured read of 50 buyer questions on four to six AI apps: who AI names instead of you, the sources behind them, and the fix list. Five working days. Credited in full if you start a program within 30 days.
Start with a baselineCitation engineering on 50 questions, answer ready pages shipped monthly, brand fact fixes, and monthly proof against the untouched half.
Book a callEverything in Growth on 80 or more questions, per location measurement, and a research study each quarter built on your data.

What we never promise
Nobody controls what an AI says. We never promise a fixed spot or a rank.
Brand questions, answered.
How do we get recommended when buyers ask ChatGPT for suppliers?
Be present, and described correctly, in the sources ChatGPT reads for your category: trade press, named experts, and capability pages it can quote. KailxLabs measures which of those sources decide your buyers’ questions before doing any work.
Do procurement teams really use AI to find vendors?
They use it to narrow and compare, then verify with reviews, peers and your sales team. AI builds the shortlist; it rarely closes the deal. That is why being on the shortlist matters.
AI describes our capabilities wrong. Can you fix it?
Usually the answer is repeating an old page, a directory entry or a news story. We trace it to that source, correct it there and test again until the answer changes. We never promise a date by which an AI changes its answer.
Can you remove negative threads or reviews?
No, and nobody honest can. We make sure accurate, current information exists where engines look, and we never post fake reviews or plant threads.
What do you guarantee?
The baseline, the fixes and the control report are delivered to our published standard, or your baseline fee comes back. Nobody controls what an AI says. We never promise a fixed spot or a rank.
