ABOUT
Be Named First — a specialist consultancy for Indian consumer brands
Be Named First is a specialist consultancy helping Indian consumer brands get named by AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. We audit, we place, we monitor. Every engagement is scoped to the outcome you need, priced openly, and measured monthly against a fixed prompt set. Nothing invented, nothing exaggerated.
We'll run your market's prompts live on the call.
Be Named First is a specialist practice focused on Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for Indian consumer brands — starting with healthtech, expanding into fintech and D2C. We work in a small, senior team by design: audit, placement and monitoring delivered end-to-end without agency handoff layers.
Engagements are scoped to what actually moves category answers on the engines your buyers use — not to what fills a retainer. That means small client counts, deep focus, and every number traceable to a logged prompt run. If the audit shows nothing worth fixing, we say so.
Principles
Open pricing on the call
No agency-style retainer minimums. Every engagement is priced openly on the discovery call, in INR, based on scope — not on what your budget looks like.
No guarantees sold
Nobody controls AI engine output. We guarantee scope, delivery and honest measurement — never specific citations.
Sources on every number
Every statistic on this site names its source inline. Numbers without provenance are how this industry lies.
We name what doesn't work
llms.txt ships on every engagement and gets honestly labeled a non-lever. Concessions like that are the point, not the exception.
Measured, or it didn't happen
Every engagement reports mention rate and citation share monthly — including the prompts where nothing moved.
This practice starts every relationship with a free 5-prompt AI Visibility Snapshot — no cost, no commitment, limited to the first 10 Indian consumer brands. From there, engagements are priced per engagement and discussed openly on the discovery call. No agency-style retainer minimums, no lock-in, no proposal theatre. If the audit shows nothing worth fixing, we say so.
