From the Optro story

There aren't any case studies around how a name change affects visibility in LLMs. We had no way of knowing the impact or how to influence quick growth, so I knew we needed to dig in and experiment to get results.

Ron SamsonSr. Growth Marketing Manager at Optro

When we became Optro, every AI engine still knew us as AuditBoard. Nearly a decade of authority was tied to a name we were retiring, and the new one didn't exist in any model's answer yet. A 301 redirect fixes that for Google in days. AI doesn't re-learn on our schedule. We needed to see, in real time, whether the engines were connecting Optro to the topics that matter to our business.

Each time I build an Agent using the agent builder, I save at least two hours of time.

Once the Agent is built, you can run it across dozens or hundreds of articles in minutes. That's the kind of scale and speed we needed.
