Searchable Limited provides an AI search optimization platform that helps brands improve visibility in AI-generated answers. It tracks how often a brand is mentioned across multiple AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) and analyzes this 'dark traffic' to reveal performance unseen in traditional search. The platform includes a visibility analytics dashboard integrated with Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console, a content creation engine for AI-optimized content, and an interactive agent that explains performance in plain English. Its goal is to help brands be seen as definitive, trustworthy sources by large language models while offering multi-model visibility, compliance with UK GDPR and the Digital Services Act, and tiered subscription plans.

Searchable raises $14M to capture the AI search opportunity.

Searchable raises $14M to capture the AI search opportunity. May 18, 2026 Anna Wood is the Editor of Startups Magazine. She joined... Searchable, a platform that helps businesses optimise their presence in AI-driven search, has raised $14 million in a funding round led by Headline, valuing the company at $85 million. The raise follows a $4 million round led by Freestyle in December 2025 and brings total funding to $18 million. The investment comes at a moment of significant structural change in how consumers find products online. AI-generated overviews now appear in nearly half of all Google searches, 65% of searches end without a click, and AI-enabled search is projected to reach roughly 70% penetration by 2027. For founders who have built customer acquisition strategies around organic search, those trends have direct implications for growth. What Searchable does. Where traditional SEO platforms focus on Google's link-based results, Searchable targets the answers generated by AI systems such as ChatGPT and Claude. AI engines draw on a broader and less transparent set of signals than conventional search algorithms, making visibility harder to diagnose and fix without dedicated tooling. The platform automates audits, content optimisation, and technical fixes across multiple AI search platforms. According to the company's own data, customers arriving via LLMs convert at three times the rate of those arriving through traditional search. Enterprise customers report a 22% average increase in AI-driven traffic within their first 60 days on the platform. Traction and backers. In the 60 days prior to the announcement, Searchable onboarded more than 500 paying customers, converted five enterprise clients from incumbent SEO platforms, and crossed $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue. Annual recurring revenue now stands at $2.6 million. Current clients include American Express, KPMG, Siemens, Pfizer, Tencent, Boston Consulting Group, VaynerMedia and Havas. Headline, whose portfolio includes Bumble, Farfetch, and Sonos, has prior form in this category. The firm backed Semrush early - the SEO software group Adobe acquired for $1.9 billion - and partner Dominic R. Wilhelm has drawn an explicit comparison between that investment and this one. "We backed Semrush early as the category leader and exited following its IPO at around a $2 billion market cap," Wilhelm said. "Now we see a new generation of businesses coming up, and Searchable is primed to win this market." The founder's background. Chris Donnelly founded Searchable after selling SEO agency Verb for $25 million and scaling care marketplace Lottie.Org to a nine-figure valuation. He argues that the shift to AI search represents a compressing window for brands - and for the tools that serve them. "For more than a decade, SEO has been labour intensive and expensive," Donnelly said. "Over the next two years, a large share of that work becomes automatable. Our goal is to give companies an execution layer for AI search that cuts operational SEO costs by up to 40% while growing high-intent traffic." The funding will be used to accelerate product development and expand Searchable's presence in the US and UK markets. What this means for the market. Industry observers expect AI search software to divide between monitoring tools - which track brand mentions across AI engines - and execution platforms, which automate the underlying work required to improve visibility. Searchable is positioning itself in the latter category, on the basis that tracking without fixing has limited commercial value. Donnelly is forecasting three structural shifts over the next two years: the automation of repetitive SEO tasks through agentic AI systems; the rise of AI commerce as a standalone optimisation layer; and the convergence of paid and organic AI visibility into unified attribution models. How quickly those shifts materialise will depend in part on the pace at which AI search displaces conventional search traffic - and how urgently brands treat the transition as a growth problem rather than a technical one.

Searchable secures $13.1M from Headline at $79.9M valuation to automate AI-driven search

Searchable, an AI-driven search specialist, has raised £10.3 million at a £62.9 million valuation in a funding round led by Headline, the venture capital firm behind Semrush, Bumble and Farfetch. The company, founded by Chris Donnelly, launched in January and achieved £1.4 million in annual recurring revenue within 4.5 months. It now reports £2 million in annual recurring revenue. The funding will accelerate product development and support expansion in US and UK markets. Searchable aims to help brands maintain visibility as AI-powered search engines increasingly answer queries directly. The company claims customers converting from ChatGPT and other large language models show three times higher conversion rates. Its clients include American Express, KPMG, Siemens, Tencent and Pfizer.

"Which AI models recommend us?": Searchable raises €4.5 million to help teams understand their brand in the AI age

"Which AI models recommend us?": Searchable raises €4.5 million to help teams understand their brand in the AI age. London-based startup Searchable has raised €4.5 million (£4 million) in funding at a €45 million (£40 million) valuation to power the next frontier of digital marketing: visibility within AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. The round was led by early-stage investor Freestyle VC and comes as major UK brands begin shifting from incumbent US platforms to this new AI-first marketing approach. "AI is changing marketing faster than Google did," says founder Chris Donnelly, a serial entrepreneur behind Verb and Lottie. "We're no longer optimising for humans. We're optimising for the platforms that talk to humans." Searchable's funding is part of a growing wave of European startups grabbing early-stage capital to build tools for marketing in an AI-first world. For example: This suggests that investors are seriously backing the shift from traditional marketing tools toward solutions optimised for AI search engines, recommendation engines and automated workflows. Searchable's €4.5 M round may be smaller than Peec AI's Series A - but it nonetheless positions the startup among a growing group betting on AI-driven brand visibility. "The way consumers search has changed drastically in the past year and AEO has emerged as a defining consumer category", says Maria Palma, General Partner at Freestyle VC lead investor in the round. "While we have seen some companies start to innovate in AI marketing, the team at Searchable has the leading analytics tool but more importantly a recommendation engine that shows brands how to take hold of this opportunity." Founded in 2025 by serial entrepreneur Chris Donnelly, Searchable offers a tool that gives marketing teams a real-time view into how their brand is being surfaced, ranked, and recommended by LLMs. It's a timely proposition in a market where AI-generated answers are rapidly replacing traditional link-based search results. Searchable works by monitoring brand visibility across conversational engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, and offering clear actions to improve it. From rewriting content to boosting metadata readability for LLMs, the platform essentially acts as an agentic AI marketing assistant. It integrates directly with Google Analytics and Search Console, and allows marketers to ask questions in plain English, such as "Which AI models recommend us?" or "Where are we losing visibility?" The startup's invite-only soft launch generated six figures in recurring revenue within its first 24 hours, with multiple global clients reportedly migrating from established US competitors. Among early clients, results reportedly include a 40% increase in AI visibility and a 50% reduction in manual SEO workload. Donnelly is no stranger to building digital companies. At 35, he has already built and exited two major ventures. His first, Verb Brands, began as a student project with just €455 (£400) and a laptop, eventually becoming a luxury digital agency with clients like Bugatti and Jimmy Choo. He sold the business in 2021 in an eight-figure private equity deal. He then co-founded Lottie, a HealthTech platform focused on eldercare, which scaled to a €284 million (£250 million) valuation in just three years. Now, with Searchable, Donnelly is tackling what he sees as the next great paradigm shift in marketing: the age of AI-driven search. The company was built in just 60 days and is positioning itself as the go-to platform for AI Search Engine Optimisation (AEO). "It's the new front door to the internet," says Donnelly. "If you're not indexed, you don't exist." With AI search expected to become a multi-billion-euro market by 2030, and projections suggesting €30 - 50 billion in new value creation, Searchable is betting big that brands will need help navigating this shift - and doing it fast. The startup's product roadmap includes predictive modelling and automated training of AI systems to maintain optimal brand visibility. Donnelly compares the moment to the early Facebook ad days. ""In 2012, £10 in Facebook spend could return hundreds because no one else was doing it," he says. "That same window exists now - for brands who learn to be visible to AI."
