About us

Two founders. Two continents. One obsession.

Search changed forever, and most local businesses never got the memo. We started AnswerHound because the businesses that keep cities running — the plumbers, dentists, roofers — deserve to be found in the places customers actually ask.

The founders

Aram Hakobyan
Co-founder & CEO — Yerevan

Ten years building search and data products. Aram leads delivery: the listings engine, AI answer monitoring, and the audits every prospect gets in 48 hours. He reads your gap check before you do.

Daan Visser
Co-founder & COO — Amsterdam

Former agency lead for EU local brands. Daan owns clients: onboarding, the monthly 3-number reports, and the promise that a human answers same-day. He's the reason we're month-to-month.

What we hold ourselves to

Honest timelines

AI visibility takes 3–5 months to move meaningfully. We say so before you sign — anyone promising faster is selling smoke.

One per city

We never work for your competitor in your city and category. It's in the contract, defined by named queries — not a handshake.

Revenue, not rankings

You get three numbers a month: leads, revenue influenced, and one specific win. If we can't point to money, we don't count it.

Want to talk to a founder? You will.

Every audit call in our first year is taken by Aram or Daan personally.
