AI RanklyAkusoli: From $526 to $5,600 a month in AI-attributed sales
Published August 20, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026
Akusoli ranked well on Google but was absent from AI product recommendations in its own category. Six months after they could see which sources the models trusted, they were the default answer on four of seven engines.
Before and after
Each metric is shown for the month Akusoli started on AI Rankly (May 2025) and six months later (Nov 2025). The six months before the start were flat or drifting down, which is why the change is attributed to the work below rather than to a trend already under way.

“We were arguing about ad spend while the models quietly recommended three competitors. Seeing the citation gap changed what we worked on entirely.”
What was done, in order
Found the citation gap
Every engine recommending competitors cited the same three review roundups. Akusoli appeared in none of them. That single finding reframed the whole quarter.
Rewrote 9 product pages for AEO
The agent drafted comparison tables, materials specs and FAQ blocks in the structure models actually quote. Nine pages shipped in two weeks.
Earned 4 roundup placements
Outreach targeted only the domains AI Rankly showed the models already trusted, so four placements moved more than a year of scattered PR had.
Fixed how Claude described them
Claude was repeating a discontinued product line from an old cached page. Correcting the record took Claude from never naming them to 46%.
