Searchable acquires New York rival Meridian in a seven-figure deal, an early consolidation in the AI brand visibility market

by | Sep 22, 2026 | Latest E-commerce News & Updates

Searchable, a London and New York company that tracks how brands turn up in AI-generated answers, acquired Meridian for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. Searchable is folding the technology into its own platform rather than running Meridian as a separate product, and it picks up customers including APL, MedCline and VKTRY. Meridian only launched in October 2025, and Searchable itself opened for business a couple of months later. Searchable raised a $14 million seed led by Headline in May at an $85 million valuation, money it has been spending on the US market. The acquisition follows a Salt Lake City office it opened in August and two hires it took from rival Scrunch AI.
