Named results

Work with the client name attached

Every figure below belongs to a company we can name. An unnamed result cannot be checked by you and cannot be attributed by any search or answer engine, which is most of why so much agency proof is worthless.

WealthVest

$500M in opportunities generated, financial services.

  • Pipeline value, not impressions or engagement
  • A regulated category where the claims have to survive compliance
  • Built on intent targeting rather than audience size

ProPricer

300% sales growth and an acquisition, plus $244,000 saved a year.

  • Growth and cost both moved, which is the unusual part
  • The company was later acquired by Deltek
  • B2B software with a long, committee driven sales cycle

Betz & Baril Law Firm

1,596 attorney leads in 10 months, and 259 in under three.

  • Two separate engagements, both measured in signed matters
  • Legal is among the most expensive categories to buy in
  • Volume held while cost per lead came down

AllState

Beat the industry conversion benchmark by roughly 1017% using LeadChaser.

  • Measured against the published sector benchmark, not its own prior month
  • The gain came from working quotes that had already gone quiet
  • A separate account converted 47.73% of worked leads
Measured, not asserted

Who AI actually recommends when someone asks for a New York agency

We track these questions continuously in Rankxa. This is what ChatGPT returned over the last 30 days. We publish it because anyone can check it in a minute, including the part that does not flatter us.

Rankxa production data. ChatGPT, BusySeed's tracked New York agency questions, 30 days to 11 September 2026.

What that table means, honestly

Every name on it is a holding company creative shop with decades of published coverage behind it, and the engines retrieve from what has been written down. They are very good at what they are measured on, which is creative work at national scale. We are measured on a different number: revenue on a client's profit and loss statement. Both models are legitimate and they suit different companies. If you want a Super Bowl spot, one of the names above is the right call. If you want to know which channel produced last quarter's pipeline, that is the work we do.

Why one shortlist is not the shortlist

Your customers are asking four assistants and getting four different answers

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews the same New York question and the companies they name barely overlap. An agency that reports one AI visibility score is describing a situation none of your buyers is actually in.

Engine pairPrompts comparedBrand overlap
Claude vs ChatGPT52,75610.6%

Claude vs Gemini34,26111.2%
Google AI Overviews vs ChatGPT1,2731.0%
Google AI Overviews vs Claude1,3010.8%

Rankxa production data, 30 days to 11 September 2026, measured across 9.8 million recorded brand mentions. Gemini and Google AI Overviews are both Google products and agree with each other no more than either agrees with a competitor's model.

How we work

What the first ninety days look like

The order matters. Each step is wasted without the one before it, which is why we will not start writing pages in week one.

1

Find where the money is leaking

An audit of where your enquiries actually come from and where they die. For about half the accounts we see, the problem is follow up rather than traffic, and we would rather tell you that than sell you media.

2

Clear the retrievability gate

We check that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity can reach your pages at answer time. A site that blocks OAI-SearchBot cannot appear in ChatGPT search answers at all, and it is usually accidental.

3

Record an honest baseline

Your real buying questions, run across all four engines separately, recording who gets named and in what order. Everything later is measured against this.

4

Build and earn

Pages that answer the questions your buyers ask, and mentions of your company by name on independent sites. Branded mentions correlate 0.664 with AI visibility. Backlinks correlate 0.218.

Questions

Common questions about hiring a NYC marketing agency

What does a marketing agency in NYC cost?

Most New York agency retainers run between $3,000 and $25,000 a month, and the spread is mostly about who does the work rather than what gets done. A holding company shop prices a team of specialists you may never meet; a boutique prices the people on the call. We will tell you our number on the first call rather than after a discovery process, and if your budget is too small to produce a result we will say so instead of spending it slowly.

How do I choose between New York agencies?

Ask three questions and the field narrows fast. First, what will you measure me on, and does that number appear on my profit and loss statement. Second, who specifically does the work, and can I meet them before signing. Third, can you show me a result with a client name attached to it. Vague answers to the third question usually mean the result belongs to someone else. Our named results are on this page.

How is BusySeed different from Ogilvy, BBDO or Wieden+Kennedy?

Those are holding company creative shops and they are very good at what they are measured on, which is creative work at national scale. We are measured on revenue: $540M+ generated for 550+ clients since 2013. The practical difference is who answers when something breaks, and whether the reporting connects to your sales numbers or to impressions. Both models are legitimate. They serve different companies.

Do I need to be in New York to work with BusySeed?

No. We are at 1178 Broadway #508 and a good share of our clients are in the five boroughs, but we work across the United States and have since 2013. The office matters if you want to sit in a room together, which some clients do and many never need. It should not be the deciding factor.

How long before a New York campaign shows results?

Paid acquisition moves inside the first flight, usually four to six weeks to a reliable cost per lead. Local search and organic compound over a quarter or more. AI visibility sits in between: the technical fixes are often same day, and the coverage work takes months. One retail client moved from 14% to 65% share of relevant AI answers in three weeks, which is the fast end and followed an unusually clean technical start.

What should I expect in the first month?

An audit of where your enquiries actually come from, a retrievability check so we know the AI engines can reach your site, and a baseline across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews on the questions your buyers ask. You get the named list of companies being recommended instead of you. If that audit says your problem is follow up rather than traffic, we will tell you, because for about half the accounts we see it is.
