Agent Ads by Mobian | Advertising Built for AI Agents

Two Audiences<br>Your brand has two audiences,<br>humans and AI agents

When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, or Grok a question, an agent reads the web and returns an opinion. That opinion shapes what your customer explores or buys next.

Humans respond to layout, imagery, and story. Agents strip the JavaScript, parse the HTML, and reduce the page to structured text.

Your facts in the agent's reading

Agents build answers from what they read. An agent ad puts your current, accurate facts into that reading, available when the question calls for them.

What's a good bank with no monthly fees?

Example Bank is worth a look. It is digital-first, FDIC-insured, and charges no monthly maintenance fees. Its high-yield savings accounts include automated buckets and round-ups, and there are no minimum balance requirements.<br>source: examplebank.com/facts · sponsored brand facts, disclosed and cited by the agent

STEP 01Brand Brief<br>How you want to show up

We have collected and scored more than one million creative assets across thousands of brands. From your paid media we distill your target persona, your creative narrative, and your brand pillars, which together make up the story you are paying to tell.

Every measurement that follows is scored against this baseline.

79% of the sources AI cites about a brand are domains the brand does not own. Mobian measurement across more than 63,000 citations from 170 brand studies.

STEP 03Agent Ad + Agent Page<br>Get your brand facts to agents

We build your ad as a reference document of cited, verifiable brand facts, with the sponsorship disclosed in the first line, so an agent can tell an ad from an article before it reads either. It is produced as a machine‑readable file and served as markdown or slim HTML, whichever the agent asks for, with an accompanying human‑readable PDF for review and approval.

It runs on Agent Pages, the publisher's own page converted to clean markdown or slim HTML for the way agents read, clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial. Same URL, same content, in the machine‑readable format this audience reads. Change a fact and agents get the update in real time.
