Meridian is a software as a service (SaaS) platform that provides artificial intelligence search visibility analytics for brands and enterprises. Operating at trymeridian.com, the platform monitors how brands appear in AI-generated search results across platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity.[1][2]

History

Meridian was co-founded by Alex Dees and Zack Xuereb and is headquartered in New York City.[1][2] Xuereb, a Maltese entrepreneur with a background in mathematics and computer science from the University of Malta, previously worked in blockchain technology before co-founding Meridian.[2] Dees previously worked in fintech as head of business development at an embedded fintech company.[1]

The company launched publicly in October 2025 within the emerging field of generative engine optimization (GEO).[1] By late 2025, the platform had over 100 companies as clients, including e-commerce brands and marketing agencies.[2]

The company received venture capital funding.[2] In March 2026, Stifel Financial featured Dees in its NextGen Investor Webinar series and profiled the company in its Stifel Bits newsletter.[3]

Platform

Meridian's platform tracks brand visibility within AI-powered search engines. It measures how often a brand is mentioned in AI responses, where a brand ranks within list-style AI answers, and how AI systems describe a brand.[1]

The platform runs automated prompts across AI platforms to analyze which brands appear in AI-generated answers, the context and sentiment of those mentions, and which sources the AI cites.[2] In addition to its self-serve analytics tools, Meridian offers a managed full-service option that includes content production, technical recommendations, and strategy implementation.[2]

Meridian's website, designed by agency Refokus, was named Website of the Day by the CSS Design Awards on October 18, 2025, receiving a judge's score of 7.94 out of 10.[4]

Media appearances

Dees has appeared on podcasts discussing AI search and brand visibility, including Search with Candour[5] and Entrepreneurs on Fire.[6]
