Our story

Built because the tools I needed didn't exist.

AI Growth Director didn't start as an idea for a software company. It started with a challenge: one client had set an extraordinarily ambitious growth target, and my job was to work out how we could possibly get there.

The problem

Brilliant tools. Nobody joining the dots.

I looked for technology that could bring together everything we knew about the business - advertising, SEO, analytics, competitors and increasingly AI search - and turn it into clear decisions. I couldn't find it. Every tool solved one part and left somebody in the middle, piecing the story together.

  • Understand the business.
  • Remember where we'd been.
  • Know where we were trying to go.
  • Find opportunities in the data.
  • Help us build what was needed to get there.

What happened next

One business challenge became a completely different way of working.

What started as a way to solve one client's growth challenge quickly became something much bigger.

I didn't want another dashboard.

I wanted something closer to having an incredibly capable marketing and growth director sitting alongside you - one that could analyse huge amounts of information, explain what it found in plain English, remember the decisions we'd made and continuously look for the next opportunity.

Most marketing platforms show you what happened.

AI Growth Director is being built to help answer the much more important question:

"What should we do next?"

A dashboard shows

Numbers went up. Numbers went down. You work out the rest.

A growth director says
  • Here is what changed, and why it matters commercially.
  • Here is the evidence behind it.
  • Here is what I'd do next, in priority order.

The principle

The technology should do the hard work. The answer should be simple.

See the whole picture

Marketing doesn't happen in separate boxes. AI Growth Director brings information from across your marketing together so you can understand what is actually happening across the business.

Explain it in plain English

You shouldn't need to be a data analyst to understand your own business. The platform explains what it finds, why it matters and what you should consider doing about it.

Show the evidence

Recommendations shouldn't be taken on faith. Where possible, AI Growth Director lets you see the campaigns, searches, pages and figures behind what it is telling you.

Keep moving forward

The goal isn't more reports. The goal is better decisions, faster action and continuously finding the next opportunity for growth.

Founder

Built by a marketer who needed a better way to grow businesses.

AI Growth Director was founded by Andrew Vernon after years of working directly with law firms and businesses across digital marketing, SEO, Google Ads, GEO and growth strategy.

After spending years using specialist platforms and manually piecing together information from different systems, the rapid development of AI created an opportunity to rethink how the entire job could be done.

GEO - being visible and cited inside AI search, alongside AEO and AIO - is where a huge amount of future growth will come from. Customers are increasingly asking AI what to buy and who to trust, and businesses that understand that early will win the ground others haven't noticed yet. That is why GEO sits at the heart of the platform rather than being bolted on at the end.

Instead of simply creating another marketing tool, the ambition became to build an intelligent operating layer that could help businesses and agencies understand what is happening, identify opportunities and make better growth decisions.

Built for businesses that want to grow - and the agencies helping them do it.

For law firms

Bring your marketing intelligence together, understand what is driving growth, find problems earlier and uncover opportunities across advertising, search and AI visibility.

For agencies

Give every client their own intelligence workspace. Bring their marketing data together, uncover opportunities faster and turn complicated reporting into clear explanations of what happened, why it matters and what should happen next.
