Mindo went from missing in AI answers to first place on ChatGPT in 21 questions

Goal

Show up when a company looks for an animation studio

Mindo is a motion design studio in São Paulo that serves companies in two areas: corporate presentations and animated video. On 29 May 2026, Mindo did not appear in any of the 63 answers we measured across three AI tools. Its website was an app that builds the page in the browser, and AI crawlers saw an empty page. The goal was for Mindo to show up when a company asks AI tools which studio to hire.

The work

A complete guide at guia.mindo.com.br

We split the work across Mindo's two markets: corporate presentations and animated video. The guide started with the questions for which AI did not yet recommend any studio, such as training videos and presentations for corporate events. It was published at guia.mindo.com.br and was fully live on 22 June 2026.

Outcome

First place on ChatGPT in 21 questions

On 13 and 14 July 2026, ChatGPT placed Mindo first in 21 of 134 questions in its market. For the same questions, the count was 4 on 25 and 26 June.

Recommended almost twice as often

Across the same 134 questions, ChatGPT went on to recommend Mindo in 31, up from 16 in June. The new ones include general questions, such as the best animation studios, which buyers ask before they have any name in mind. In those answers, ChatGPT describes Mindo as an option for original 2D animated video and corporate presentations.

The guide became a source for AI

In July, Google's AI Overview used Mindo's guide as a source in 194 of 538 answers. And when the guide made it into the text of an answer, the AI credited it with a link 90% of the time.
