The way people discover companies is shifting rapidly. Instead of browsing pages of links, users increasingly ask an AI assistant a direct question and accept the short list or recommendation it returns. In this environment, “ranking” is no longer only about positions in classic search results—it is about whether your brand becomes a trusted reference in AI-generated answers.
This is the space where FunkyMEDIA has built its reputation. Based in Łódź and operating since 2010, FunkyMEDIA is an AI Search (GEO) agency that helps brands become easier for AI systems to understand, verify, and recommend. The agency is listed in the Semrush Agency Partners directory and highlights recognition in the TechBehemoths Global Excellence Awards 2025.
What “AI Search” Actually Means (and What It Is Not)
AI Search—often referred to as GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)—is the set of actions that increases the probability of a brand appearing in AI-generated answers and summaries, whether inside assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok, or within search experiences that generate direct answers.
It is not a hack, and it does not guarantee a fixed placement. Instead, AI Search focuses on building repeatable trust signals that AI systems can rely on.
From a practical standpoint, AI visibility is influenced by:
-
Clarity: Does AI understand exactly what you offer?
-
Consistency: Is your brand described the same way across the web?
-
Confirmation: Do independent sources mention you?
-
Authority: Do you publish useful, quotable material?
As a result, AI Search is increasingly becoming a blend of SEO, content engineering, and reputation strategy.
FunkyMEDIA’s Positioning: “AI Search First,” Not “SEO Only”
FunkyMEDIA does not aim to replace SEO—it expands it. The agency’s approach is built on three core pillars.
1) AI Ready Foundations
AI Ready preparation ensures that websites and brand information allow AI systems to:
-
Quickly understand what the company does
-
Map services to user intent
-
Extract structured answers (FAQs, definitions, checklists)
-
Trust the information through proof points, transparency, and clear processes
2) AI First Planning
Rather than starting with a random keyword list, the process begins with how AI already frames the market:
-
Which questions users ask most frequently
-
What AI tends to recommend and why
-
Which sources AI appears to trust
-
Where the brand lacks evidence or presence
3) Brand Mentions as a Core Growth Lever
A defining element of FunkyMEDIA’s AI Search work is its emphasis on brand mentions—credible, contextually relevant references to a company across independent web sources.
Why Brand Mentions Are the “Currency of Trust” in AI Search
A brand mention occurs whenever a company is referenced outside its own website, whether linked or unlinked. In AI Search, mentions matter because AI systems build confidence when a brand is consistently confirmed across different contexts.
High-value mention formats include:
-
Expert roundups and editorial features
-
Topical “how to choose” guides
-
Comparisons and category explainers
-
Case study references
-
Industry lists that are genuinely editorial and relevant
The objective is not volume, but quality, context, and consistency:
-
Is the source credible?
-
Is the mention relevant to the topic?
-
Does it reinforce the same positioning presented on the website?
When these conditions are met, brand mentions act as external validation, helping AI connect the brand to the correct niche and trust it as a recommendation.
Proof Points That Matter: Awards and Ecosystem Trust Signals
In a market filled with bold claims, third-party validation helps distinguish serious operators.
FunkyMEDIA highlights its recognition as a Winner in the TechBehemoths Global Excellence Awards 2025 across SEO, PPC, and Content Marketing. The agency is also listed in the Semrush Agency Partners directory, which Semrush describes as a way to connect businesses with trusted marketing partners.
While these signals do not directly “rank” a brand inside AI systems, they strengthen the credibility layer AI Search relies on: reputation, consistency, and visibility within trusted ecosystems.
Real-World Performance: FunkyMEDIA Case Studies with Numbers
FunkyMEDIA publishes case studies that connect marketing activity to measurable business outcomes—an important distinction in AI Search, where the ultimate goal is revenue, inquiries, and pipeline growth.
Case Study: E-commerce Growth
FunkyMEDIA reports +722% sales growth in 6 months in a published e-commerce case study, supported by a scalable search strategy and authority building.
Case Study: B2B Manufacturing
In a B2B CNC/manufacturing case, FunkyMEDIA reports a +649% increase in quotation requests in 6 months, demonstrating how structured content and authority signals can translate into commercial demand.
As with any case study, results depend on starting conditions, competition, product-market fit, and execution, but the figures reflect the agency’s focus on outcomes rather than vanity metrics.
What Brands Gain from AI Search with FunkyMEDIA
Brands working with FunkyMEDIA can benefit from:
-
Higher-quality inbound demand, as AI recommendations tend to pre-qualify users
-
Lower long-term acquisition costs, through compounding organic visibility and reputation signals
-
Greater control over brand narrative, reducing the risk of AI misrepresentation
-
Increased resilience in a zero-click world, by remaining present at the decision point even when fewer users click traditional results
Why This Matters Now
AI-driven discovery is not a future trend—it is a present-day behavior shift. Brands that invest early in clarity, credibility, and off-site confirmation are harder to displace as AI systems increasingly influence how users choose providers.
FunkyMEDIA’s AI Search positioning reflects this reality: make the brand easy to verify, easy to quote, and difficult to ignore across the sources AI relies on.
Next Step: Start with an AI Search Readiness Check
For brands exploring AI Search, the most practical entry point is a readiness assessment:
-
What does the web currently confirm about your brand?
-
Where are the gaps in mentions and topic coverage?
-
Which pages require AI Ready restructuring?
-
What mention strategy will build authority fastest in your category?
