Rankxa production data. ChatGPT, 58 tracked New York agency questions, 30 days to 11 September 2026. Position is the average place in the answer where the agency appeared.
Six of the seven are holding company agencies with decades of published coverage behind them. That is what the engines retrieve from, and no amount of media spend changes it quickly. The seventh is the interesting one: Ignite Digital is independent, appears far less often, and holds a better average position than any of them at 1.42. Broad questions reward brand equity. Specific questions reward being the clearest answer, and specific questions are what your customers actually ask.
This is not run by a black box of tools. It is a team of Growth Architects who plan, build and optimize it, using AI where it accelerates the work and human judgment where it actually matters. Different specialists, one accountable team.

Owner led businesses with one or a few locations, where the person approving the budget is also the person who will notice if it does not work. We have generated 243 contractor leads in 30 days and new patient leads at $5.22 each, which is the bracket this page is about. We are based at 1178 Broadway and we have worked with 550 or so clients since 2013, which means we can tell you early if you are too small for what we do rather than after you have paid for a quarter.
Because it retrieves from sources that have written about them for decades. Across the 58 New York agency questions we track, ChatGPT named Ogilvy 154 times in 30 days, Wieden+Kennedy 132 and BBDO New York 121. Those are holding company shops with enormous published footprints. It is not a judgment about who would serve you better, it is a reflection of what has been written down, and it is why we treat getting named as a specific job rather than a by-product.
In local and specific questions, yes, and more easily than in the broad ones. Ignite Digital, an independent, holds an average position of 1.42 on the New York questions where it appears, ahead of several holding companies. Broad queries like best marketing agency NYC are dominated by decades of brand equity. Questions with a neighbourhood, a trade or a budget attached are much more winnable, and those are the ones your actual customers ask.
We will tell you on the first call rather than after a discovery process. What we will not do is take a budget that is too small to produce a result and spend it slowly, which is the most common thing that has happened to owners by the time they reach us. If the honest answer is that your money is better spent on your website or your Google Business Profile before any media, we will say that.
Yes, across all five boroughs and the surrounding area. Local discovery work is largely the same job in Queens as in Manhattan: accurate location data, review presence, and pages that answer the questions people actually ask. The competitive set is usually smaller outside Manhattan, which tends to make the work cheaper rather than harder.
We check whether the AI engines can retrieve your site at all, record where you currently stand on the questions your customers ask, and audit where your existing enquiries come from. You get the named list of businesses being recommended instead of you. If that audit says your problem is follow up rather than traffic, we will tell you, because it usually is.
We will run the questions your customers actually ask through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, check whether the engines can reach your site, and send you the named list of businesses being recommended instead of you. Then we will tell you honestly whether marketing is your problem.
