Lefty Media Co

Lefty Media Co is an AI discoverability company in Kansas City, Missouri. We work on one question: when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity who to hire, does the AI say your name? We measure it before we touch anything. Every client gets a standing set of questions their customers actually ask, run against all three engines on a schedule, with a human checking every answer. The number that comes out is Pick Rate: how often the AI picks you. We coined the term and we publish how we measure it. Then we do the work that moves it. Generative engine optimization (GEO) so the engines know who you are, what you do, and where you are. Answer engine work so the pages they read say the thing they are looking for. Server-side crawler monitoring so we can see which AI bots actually visit a site and which ones are being turned away. We publish what we find. Our research on how AI crawlers and AI answers behave is on Zenodo with DOIs, preregistered before the data where it can be: leftymediaco.com/research/ Our clients are mostly local and service businesses in the Kansas City area: contractors, trainers, financial advisors, restaurants, property services. They do not need another dashboard. They need to know whether AI recommends them, and what to do when it does not. Founded in 2023 by Nathan Hall.
