What is Akii?

Akii is the first platform purpose-built for the AI-first search era. Where traditional SEO tools chase Google’s web crawler, Akii helps you get cited and recommended by AI models - the new gatekeepers of discovery.

Why this matters:
Over 70% of buyers now ask AI assistants for recommendations. If AI doesn’t “know” your brand - or can’t find credible, structured info - you’re invisible.

Akii fixes this by showing you:

  1. What AI models really say about you

  2. Why competitors get cited instead

  3. Exactly what to fix - and even shipping the files you need

Your Akii Dashboard

Your dashboard is your command center for AI search intelligence. It brings together three core tools (plus bonus features) into one seamless workflow:

  1. AI Visibility Monitor - continuous tracking, alerts, and 7-dimension scoring

  2. Competitor Intelligence - discover hidden rivals, reverse-engineer their AI visibility, and get a roadmap to overtake them

  3. Website Optimizer - technical + content transformation, with ready-to-deploy files for AI crawlability and schema

AI Visibility Monitor

  • Your ongoing radar for AI visibility

  • What it does: Tracks your performance weekly across 7 dimensions: Discoverability, Content Quality, Reputation & Authority, Technical Infrastructure, Topic Relevance, Optimization Opportunities, and Action Planner

  • Why it matters: Shows real-time changes - catching when AI models stop (or start) recommending you

  • Features you’ll love: Automated alerts, historical trends, model-by-model comparisons, and exportable reports

AI Visibility Monitor

Competitor Intelligence

  • Outflank competitors in the new AI battlefield

  • What it does: Runs a 7-step workflow: competitor discovery, citation mapping, content blueprinting, knowledge mapping, gap analysis, prioritized recommendations, and ready-to-execute outlines

  • Why it matters: Reveals who AI models recommend (and why) - and how to beat them

  • Agency use case: Build battlecards for clients that prove your strategic advantage

Competitor Intelligence

Website Optimizer

  • From analysis → fixes → files you can ship

  • What it does: Scans up to 50 pages per run for schema, crawlability, performance, and structure

  • Deliverables:

    • Optimized robots.txt

    • Enhanced sitemap.xml

    • A complete /llms/ directory for AI crawlers

    • Schema markup packages (Organization, FAQ, Product, Review)

    • A 3-phase implementation roadmap

  • Why it matters: You don’t just get a list of errors - you get deployable files
