Agentic commerce strategy

AI is choosing your competitors. We change that.

We make AI recommend you by name — then automate the operations to handle the growth.

The shift

For a century, Main Street grew on one channel: someone recommended you. That channel is being rebuilt, and the new one runs through machines.

Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini who to hire, and you get a short list — no second page, no browsing. If the model can't read your business, you're not on the list — and you never learn you were considered.

This isn't search with a new coat of paint. Agents don't hand you options to compare — they decide, then recommend by name. The layer that sets those answers is being written now — for most categories, only once.

Our instrument · proprietary

The Agentic Discoverability Index.

A 0–100 score, updated weekly, for how findable and recommendable your business is to AI agents. A credit rating for the agent era — one number that tells you whether the machines can see you.

0–40 · Invisible
Agents can't read or resolve your business. You are not in the answer.
40–70 · Emerging
Sometimes surfaced, rarely named. Present, not yet preferred.
70–100 · Default
Recommended by name, consistently. You are the answer.

Illustrative score. The free audit returns your real ADI across 32 signals, then re-measures it weekly.

How we work

Two practices, one system.

Get recommended by AI, then automate the operations to receive the demand. Sold as one system — visibility without operations floods a business it can't serve; operations without visibility optimize a phone that never rings.

Sales Operations · get recommended
  • Source — become machine-readable so agents can find you.
  • Convert — earn the citation that makes agents name you.
  • Retain — deliver so the demand compounds instead of leaking.
Business Operations · receive the demand

Intake, dispatch, invoicing, reconciliation — agentic operations that run without a human watching the inbox.

The behavior shift

Your customer already shops differently. The channel is just catching up.

Before AI changed how businesses get found, it changed how people buy — outcomes over keywords, loops over funnels, a chat box over Google. The infrastructure has to meet behavior that's already here.

I
Mission-based shopping
Keywords → missions

They don't search for a product — they pursue an outcome, described in full, expecting one answer instead of ten links to sift. Win the mission, win the customer.

17×
longer queries than a Google search — people describe the mission, not a keyword.
II
Non-sequential journeys
Funnel → loops

The funnel is gone. Buyers loop between asking, comparing, and checking reviews — across apps and days — then arrive ready to buy, not at step one.

73%
of shoppers use multiple channels on a single journey.
III
The new starting line
Google → ChatGPT

Discovery starts in a chat box, not a search bar. Buyers ask ChatGPT and act on the names it returns — often without touching Google at all. Your first impression now forms inside a model you don't control.

800M
weekly ChatGPT users — the new front door to discovery.
