Scrunch | About
Meet Scrunch
We’re the leading AI search optimization team building software that enables people to monitor, analyze, and optimize how they appear in AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Meta AI, and more.
Our mission
AI platforms like ChatGPT are the fastest growing technologies in history. Over 3 billion people have already begun using AI for day-to-day questions and tasks because it’s easier and more effective than traditional search and browsing.
The result of this shift for businesses is that their brands, products, and services are no longer defined by what they’re saying about themselves, but rather what AI is saying to their customers. That’s where we come in.
