Answer Engine Optimization · South Africa
When a business owner asks ChatGPT for the best accountant in South Africa, does your firm show up? Most don't.
Named is a specialist consultancy that gets accounting and advisory firms named by AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude — at the moment prospects are choosing who to call.
The simple answer
What Named does
Named helps accounting and advisory firms show up when business owners ask AI tools who to trust.
We specialise in Answer Engine Optimization: the process of making your firm easier for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude to understand, describe and recommend.
That means clearer positioning, stronger proof, better structured answers, and content that gives language models something specific and citable to work with. We do that for firms in South Africa.
The blind spot
Search has quietly moved.
Business owners no longer scroll a page of blue links. They ask an assistant for a shortlist — and trust the answer it gives back.
For most firms, that answer doesn't include them. Their website was written for Google in 2018, not for a language model looking for an authoritative, citable, specific answer in 2026.
The result is invisible: you never see the prospect who asked, and you never see the competitor who got named instead.
