Our story

We make brands impossible to ignore.

Most brands have invested years in SEO and are still invisible when buyers ask AI assistants for recommendations. Magnent was built to solve that. We make your brand the answer AI gives, not the one it skips.

The why

Why we built Magnent.

Brands that had invested years in SEO were suddenly invisible, not because they'd done anything wrong, but because their buyers had moved on. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude had become the first stop for B2B research, product discovery, and vendor evaluation.

The brands showing up in those answers weren't the ones with the best Google rankings. They were the ones whose content was structured for AI comprehension, the ones with the signals AI models use to decide what's credible and worth citing.

No agency had been built to solve this yet. So in 2024, Pooja and Anuradha built one. Magnent is an AI-first brand discovery company, part technical implementation, part positioning strategy, part authority building. The full stack, done for you.

Anuradha Sivakumar

Co-Founder, Magnent

Anuradha is an AEO and SEO growth strategist for the post-AI era. Her conviction: people are already using LLMs to decide which products to buy, and tomorrow they will buy directly inside these AI search engines. Brands that keep optimising only for Google search pages will be left behind.

She brings 16+ years of experience in fintech innovation, lending, and B2B SaaS, with a deep focus on blending user-centred design, sharp content strategy, and data-driven growth.

At Magnent, she drives the frameworks that make brands citation-worthy in AI-generated responses, combining technical implementation with the strategic positioning that determines which brands AI chooses to recommend.

How we work

Our principles.

Evidence, not intuition

Every recommendation is grounded in how AI models actually behave, tested across real prompts, not guesswork. We measure everything.

Honest before flattering

If AI currently says nothing good about your brand, you'll hear that first. We don't sugar-coat audits, you can't fix what you can't see.

Speed with substance

Quick wins matter. We pursue them in parallel with long-term authority building, so you see results in weeks, not quarters.

AI-native, not retrofitted

We didn't bolt an AI layer onto an SEO agency. Magnent was designed from day one for the generative search era, the methodology reflects that.

Founders as a product

In AI search, the people behind a brand are as important as the brand itself. We help founders become citation-worthy signals in their own right.

Compounding returns

AI visibility isn't a campaign, it compounds. Every piece of structured content, every citation, every authority signal builds on the last.

About Magnent

Common questions.

Magnent is an AI-first brand discovery company. We help brands get cited, recommended, and chosen by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. We do this through a combination of technical implementation (schema, llms.txt, content structure), authority building (citations, reviews, external mentions), and positioning strategy, executed end to end.
Magnent was co-founded by Pooja Agarwal and Anuradha Sivakumar. Pooja is a Product Leader with a background in fintech and consumer products, including close to four years at Zomato building co-branded credit cards and enterprise billing products. Anuradha is an AEO and growth strategist with 16+ years in fintech, lending, and B2B SaaS, and a deep focus on AI-era brand visibility.
Because that's where B2B buyers are already going. 63% of B2B buyers now start product research with an AI assistant. Traditional SEO agencies weren't built for this channel, the signals AI engines use to decide what to recommend are different from what Google rewards. Magnent was purpose-built for this shift from day one.
Magnent is a service, a team that does the work for you. We're not a dashboard you plug into and interpret yourself. We audit your AI visibility, build the strategy, implement it technically, and track results over time. You focus on running your business; we focus on making AI recommend it.

Let's build your AI presence.
