Search has changed. Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity how to start a beauty brand and you get a direct answer, no click required. Blanka appeared in fewer than 20 of those answers, while the category's biggest query belonged to competitors.

Our strategy agent mapped every question Blanka's buyers ask AI, writing agents built the answers, and editor agents scored each one for citation. For the query that matters most, we built content so comprehensive AI engines have no choice but to cite it. Today Blanka is the answer, on Google, in AI Overviews, in front of the exact buyer about to convert.
