Nashville AI, SEO & Web Design Agency
AI, SEO & web that make your business impossible to miss.
We build the systems that get you found — in Google and in AI answers — and turn that visibility into real customers. Measured, human-approved, and free of the buzzwords.
What we do
Four services, one goal: make your business the obvious choice online.
SEO & AEO Visibility Engine
An autonomous engine that measures where you show up in Google and in AI answers (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini), then writes and ships content to win those queries — every page human-approved, never auto-published.

Measured, not guessed
We track where you actually show up — in Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews — then work to the gaps. Every claim is backed by data you can see.
Human-approved, never auto-published
Our engine drafts; a person approves. Nothing goes live on your site until it's reviewed. No slop, no surprises.
Nashville-built, nationally capable
Local enough to meet in person, technical enough to compete anywhere. We build the same systems for a Nashville shop and a national SaaS.
Evidence over hype
We won't invent stats or promise rankings we can't control. We tell you what's working, what isn't, and what we'd do next.
Nashville, since 2020
Akira was founded by Ryan Hood, a Vanderbilt graduate who started the company to help businesses put AI and automation to real, practical work.

Straight answers about SEO, AEO, and AI for your business.
- What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
- AEO is optimizing your content so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity — cite your business when they answer a buyer's question. It overlaps with SEO but targets the AI answer layer rather than the classic blue links.
- How is AEO different from SEO?
- SEO aims to rank a page in Google's traditional results. AEO aims to be the source an AI answer engine quotes or links when it responds directly. Both matter; the work overlaps, but AI answers reward clear, answer-first, well-sourced content that's easy to cite.
- How much does an AI agent cost?
- It depends on scope — what the agent does, which systems it connects to, and how much custom logic it needs. We scope each build to your workflow and quote transparently rather than quoting a headline price that wouldn't mean anything yet.
- How do you get a business to show up in AI search?
- We measure which questions trigger AI answers in your market and who those answers cite, then create answer-first, well-structured, genuinely useful content to earn those citations — and re-measure to confirm it's working.
