Newsweek featured Pie as their AI use case of the week, covering how we measure success by calls, bookings, and sales, our Growth, AI Search, and Front Desk products, and why small business owners are done paying for marketing they can't see working.

Marketing Brew broke the news of Amex Ventures' investment in Pie, covering our Series A, our MoeGo partnership, and why brands are racing to stay visible as AI reshapes search.

Our co-founders Syed Ali and Akhil Mantripragada wrote a byline for The AI Journal on why small businesses can't treat AI visibility as optional: as search shifts from pages to answers, the businesses with the clearest digital footprint and strongest proof points are the ones AI recommends.

Pie announced an investment from Amex Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of American Express, to help expand its platform partnerships, product suite, and team. The investment follows Pie's $19.5M Series A, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with Capital One Ventures and WEX, and its emergence from stealth in June.

Mike Boland, senior analyst at Localogy, covered the Amex Ventures investment as part of his ongoing coverage of AI and automation in local commerce, noting Pie's Series A backers including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Capital One Ventures, and Max Levchin's SciFi VC.

PPC Land's Luis Rijo took a deep look at the Amex Ventures investment, breaking down the MoeGo partnership's early results, how Pie's three products map to the customer journey, and what the shift toward AI-powered local discovery means for small business marketing budgets.
