01 WHAT CHANGED
Search rewarded the words you used.
Models reward what you mean.
For thirty years, getting found was a matter of phrasing — the right keywords, the right metadata, the right backlinks. Discovery was a surface game.
Language models read differently. They form an understanding of your business and then answer questions on its behalf. What is implicit in your materials is invisible to them.
The category you compete in. The customers you don't serve. The thing you do that no one else does. If these aren't said plainly, somewhere a model can read them, they are not part of the answer the model gives.
The work of being understood is, suddenly, the work of being found.
02 How AKINOS works
Three layers.
A single living truth.
L1 · DEFINITION
Establish your truth.
AI is already describing your business.
AKINOS helps you decide what it gets to know.
Define your core — what you offer, where you operate, what sets you apart, and who you serve (and who you don't) — and translate it into a structured, machine-readable definition built to schema.org standards, with the depth real reasoning requires.
Then it goes live on your own site, where AI can find it.
ORGANIZATION · OFFERINGS · MARKET
L2 · PERCEPTION
See how AI sees you.
You can't fix what you can't see.
AKINOS asks the major AI engines the questions your customers are already asking, from broad discovery ("the top-rated options near me") to pointed, bottom-of-funnel probes.
You get back a clear scorecard: where you show up, where you're invisible, which competitors get named in your place, and the gap between how AI describes you and how you'd describe yourself.
VISIBILITY · ACCURACY · UNDERSTANDING
L3 · VERIFICATION
Stay true over time.
Perception isn't fixed, and neither is the web.
AKINOS keeps testing how the major engines describe you and keeps your meaning layer in sync as your site and the wider web shift — surfacing drift, omission, and misattribution before they cost you.
Accuracy isn't a one-time fix: it's maintained.
MONITOR · DRIFT · CORRECTION
03 WHY NOW
The first answer about your business is no longer yours.
50%
OF B2B BUYERS
now start in an AI chatbot instead of Google — a 71% jump in just four months. (G2, 2025)
94%
OF B2B BUYERS
now use AI to research purchases — and they name it the most meaningful source of all, ahead of the company's own website. (Forrester, 2026)
19%
OF BUYERS
say AI left them less confident in a purchase due to inaccurate and unreliable information. (Forrester, 2026)
The answer AI gives about your business will matter more than your homepage. That shift is already underway — and the work of authoring that answer has barely begun.
