We turn away more clients than we sign.
One business per trade per market — that rule is the whole company. When we choose you, your competitors get told no. Here's who's behind that promise, and how we got here.
Kai Cromwell started a fashion brand in college, went to grad school for oceanography, and quit after three months when he realized the ocean he wanted to explore was search. His degree is in GIS and Geoscience — the science of maps. Keep that in mind; it comes back.
He taught himself SEO, took a junior agency job, and got promoted inside a month when his manager quit. When COVID sent everyone home, he went further — freelancing for two years on everything from Fortune 500 executives' personal brands to the world's top dating coach to fitness influencers. Then he got on a plane to Europe and spent nine months working through 13 countries, surfing, playing volleyball, and building what became New Seas: the ecommerce SEO agency that has now put 90+ Shopify brands — $5M to $50M a year — at the front of search. He coaches SEO at Daily Mentor, a community of 300+ seven- and eight-figure brands, and has published 140+ videos teaching it on YouTube.
"Success in practically any field is simply the number of reps over a given period of time."
Tryggvi Rafn Sigurbjarnarson has spent 18+ years in ecommerce and search — his own brands first, then everyone else's. He founded Nordica Marketing, the SEO agency where 92% of clients stay year after year, on one rule: no fiction, no guesswork, just measurable growth.
Then he watched a strange thing happen across every client dashboard at once: rankings holding steady, clicks sliding. Buyers had stopped scrolling results and started asking questions — and getting answers. So he built Maark, the platform that tracks exactly what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI say — and who they name — week after week. Not opinions about AI search. A record of it.
"If you're still relying on paid ads to grow, you're building on rented ground."
Two roads. One conclusion: AI bites local first.
For big ecommerce brands, the AI shift is a hard, global fight — endless competitors, every answer contested. But locally, something sharper is happening: when someone asks who the best plumber in town is, the AI names one business. Maybe three. There is no page two.
That's winner-take-all. And almost nobody is telling main street.
So the map guy and the measurement guy built ChatChosen to do exactly one thing: pick one business in each market and make it the answer. One trade. One market. One client. Everyone else gets told no.

What we believe
We can't make two plumbers the answer in the same town. So we don't take two. Exclusivity is in the contract, not the sales pitch.
Every claim we make has a dashboard behind it. You see every tracked question, every answer, every week.
No fake reviews, no schemes, no shortcuts. Local businesses get burned worst when the tricks stop working.
The same systems that put 8-figure brands at the front of search, sized for your market.
If your market is taken — or we don't believe we can win it — we tell you on the first call and you keep your money.
We work from wherever the work is best. The dashboards don't care.
The machine behind us
ChatChosen isn't two guys and a spreadsheet. Behind the founders sit the operating teams of New Seas and Nordica Marketing — strategists, outreach operators, content leads — and Maark, the tracking platform watching every answer. Small company. Deep bench.
We only play to make you the winner.
One business per market, first come. Find out if yours is still open — it takes one business day.
