Why Now
AI is replacing Google for product discovery.
Buyers ask AI for product recommendations instead of searching Google. ChatGPT already shows product tiles with prices and reviews. Soon, buyers won't leave the chat to buy.

Buyer buys in chat

50M shopping queries/day on ChatGPT
Consumers ask ChatGPT 50 million shopping questions every day. OpenAI built a dedicated shopping model and launched checkout inside the chat.
Perplexity shows shopping on 92% of queries
Perplexity displays a shopping result on 92% of consumer product queries. Shopping-intent prompts up 5x after launching Buy with Pro.
AI shoppers convert 31% higher
AI-referred visitors convert 31% more and drive 32% more revenue per visit than all other traffic sources. Went from worst channel to best in under a year.
AI Overviews take ~60% of Google clicks
When Google shows an AI Overview, the #1 organic result loses 58% of its clicks. Even Google is replacing its own search results with AI.

The Product
Leon: Your brand's AI CMO, running in Slack.
Podcast-style calls extract your niche expertise, daily digests keep you in sync, and autonomous execution handles the rest — from SEO to outreach.
AI Prompt Tracking
Tracks your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini daily. Alerts you when competitors gain or lose visibility.
Content & Reddit
Publishes AEO-optimized articles and community posts that rank on Google AND get cited by AI models.
Backlinks & Outreach
Finds partnership opportunities automatically. Sends outreach. Notifies you when someone's ready to talk.
Voice Calls with Founders
Weekly calls with each customer — like a podcast. Leon captures first-party niche intelligence straight from the founder's brain. Every call deepens Leon's proprietary knowledge graph. Competitors can copy the stack — not the data. Call anytime to talk strategy.
Business Model
Agency pricing. Software margins.
Leon does the work. Humans stay in the loop for enterprise. Near-zero headcount scaling per customer.

Market Size
Bottom-up math.
TAM
$84B
Global SEO services market → $149B by 2031 (8.4% CAGR). AEO is eating an increasing share.
SAM
$13.2B
~275,000 US ecommerce brands (including established retail brands with significant DTC channels) × $4,000/mo avg.
Global market SAM is roughly $38B–$48B/year.
SOM — Year 3
$48M ARR
1,000 active customers × $4,000/mo average.
The Ask
$500K to own the AI marketing execution category.
1
Phase 1 : Deepen (Now)
Leon is already CMO for every client, full SEO/AEO execution, zero churn, cash-flow positive from day one. Next: add CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) to Leon's stack. Each high-ticket client ($6K-15k/mo) gets a full AI marketing team, not just an SEO agent. Revenue per customer doubles.
2
Phase 2 : Widen (Q3 2026)
Aggressive expansion into the US market. Establish category authority through high-value content. This content engine becomes the pipeline for our high-ticket tiers: brands see our authority, they sign up, they refer. This is how 5 high-ticket clients become 20, and 20 become 100.
3
Phase 3 : Enterprise & Dominate (Q4 2026+)
Serve enterprise brands (1,000s of SKUs and 100s of locations) at $25K–$50K/month. Shift from outbound-only to category ownership. VSLs, webinars, and content engine running full blast. Trust compounds → referral flywheel kicks in. No one owns "AI-native marketing execution" today. We will.
36-month target: 1,000 active customers ($4K/mo avg) = $48M ARR.
Layer in referrals, webinar pipeline, and upsells from Starter → enterprise and the ceiling is significantly higher. Already cash-flow positive, this raise is about speed, not survival.
