Industry · National brands

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

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

Top freight forwarders from Vietnam to the US
Which contract manufacturers make medical grade silicone parts
Best payroll provider for a company in three states
Is this supplier ISO 13485 certified

Consumer brands

Best budgeting app for couples
Is this brand legit
What fees does this travel insurance company charge
This brand vs its main rival for first time buyers

Example questions, not client data.

Where AI gets its answer

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.

Trade press and news

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.

LinkedIn

Named experts

AI answers cite named people on LinkedIn, often more than company pages. Your experts writing under their own names count.

Your own site

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.

Reddit and reviews

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.

Entity records

Wikidata, registries, profiles

Company facts across your site, LinkedIn, Wikidata and business registries need to agree. Wikipedia only through its own disclosed process.

Directories

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.

89.3%

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.

How we prove it

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.

FAQ

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.
