# Akira Web Solutions

> Akira Web Solutions builds custom AI systems that take real work off small businesses' plates, with human approval on anything a customer will see. Based in Nashville, working nationwide.

Akira Web Solutions is a software company founded in 2020 by Ryan Hood (Vanderbilt graduate) and based in Nashville, Tennessee. The work follows one shape: a consult to find the work that eats a business's week, a custom build around how that business actually runs, then a monthly retainer for data management and AI polishing (new features are scoped and billed separately). Two rules run through everything Akira builds: anything the AI decides runs on a feedback loop, checked against what actually happened, and anything customer facing waits for human approval. The client's data stays in the client's accounts. Akira runs the same kind of systems on its own business, including the SEO and AEO engine behind this website.

## Services

- [AI Integration & Automation](https://www.akirawebsolutions.com/Solutions/ai-integration): The lead service. A consult to find what to automate and what to leave alone, a custom AI system connected to the tools a business already uses, and a monthly retainer to keep it sharp. Human approval on anything a customer sees.
- [Autonomous AI Agents](https://www.akirawebsolutions.com/Solutions/ai-agents): Custom AI agents that run a defined business workflow (support, research, operations), built on current models and wired into the tools a business already uses, escalating to a person when they should.
- [SEO & AEO Visibility Engine](https://www.akirawebsolutions.com/Solutions/seo-aeo-engine): An engine that measures rankings in Google and citations in AI answer engines, then writes answer-first content to win those queries. Every page is human-approved before publishing.
- [B2B Sales-Outreach Engine](https://www.akirawebsolutions.com/Solutions/sales-outreach): A signal-first outbound engine that finds buyers showing intent, ranks them to the ideal customer profile, and drafts outreach that a person approves before it sends.

- [Web & Custom Software Development](https://www.akirawebsolutions.com/Solutions/web-design): Custom websites, web and mobile apps, and the software a business runs on, with accounts, payments, data, and integrations.
