We're proud to share that Top Ten AI Agents — the UK guide to AI business tools and agents that we own and run here at Hello Leads — has been awarded Verified publisher status by Temso and listed in its Publisher Directory.
The recognition comes with a quarterly award badge, granted on the back of Temso's analysis of close to 10 million AI citations over the period — in other words, the sources that AI and answer engines actually turn to and cite when responding to user questions.
What Temso Recognises
Temso is an AI search analytics platform that helps brands understand and improve their visibility inside generative engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. Its Publisher Directory profiles publications that produce authoritative, citable content on artificial intelligence — and the Verified badge is awarded each quarter to the outlets whose work AI engines reference most.
Being listed signals something concrete: it's not simply that Top Ten AI Agents is indexed, but that its testing, analysis, and rankings of AI platforms, tools, and autonomous agents are being surfaced and cited by the models shaping how people discover information.
Why This Matters
Search is changing fast. Where businesses once optimised purely for the blue links of classic search, discovery is increasingly mediated by AI engines that synthesise answers from a small set of trusted sources. Earning a place among those cited sources is the new frontier of visibility — and it's exactly the discipline we apply to every website we build through our AI Search / GEO Rebuilding service.
The award is independent validation that the editorial approach behind Top Ten AI Agents works: cut through the hype, test the tools, and publish content that AI engines choose to cite.
About Top Ten AI Agents
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Cardiff, Top Ten AI Agents tests, analyses, and ranks the top AI platforms, tools, and autonomous agents for marketing, sales, and operations — helping UK businesses cut through the hype and find the right AI solution with confidence.
The publication is edited by Mark Anthony Haines, Founder & CEO of Hello Leads, whose recent featured pieces include The Web Is Being Rewritten for Machines, Not Browsers, The AI Arms Race: UK SME Cyber Defence Tactics 2026, and The Paradox of Polite AI: Why "Don't Read This" Leaks Your Data.
"Most UK businesses rent their audience from ad platforms. I help them own it. Being named a verified Temso publisher tells us something we can measure — AI engines are citing our work, not just indexing it. That's the exact outcome we now build for every HelloLeads client." — Mark Anthony Haines, Founder & CEO, Hello Leads; Editor-in-Chief, Top Ten AI Agents
