Want to dominate your category
and own it?
Enter a closed sealed bid to claim the #1-ranked slotin your category — top position in every brief, every shortlist, every time. One slot per category. Never resold.
Routed Supplier puts you in the running. This owns the category.
Buyer RFQs routed to you with the buyer’s details, a buyer-facing profile + scoped AI, and the engine learning to cite you. The single paid tier.
The only Routed Supplier in your category — every matching RFQ routes to you first, every time. One slot. Never resold.
Not a badge. The top of the page.
When a buyer briefs out your category, you sit at position one — ahead of Featured and Verified suppliers. Clearly badged; Souk never shows paid placement as if it were organic.
Your verified profile and product data become the content the consultative AI reaches for first in your category. Built on structured, AI-readable technology so external engines like ChatGPT and Grok can surface you too.
The #1 slot in your category is sold once. If you hold it, no competitor can buy above you. If you release it, it stays retired for a minimum 12 months before we consider re-offering it.
The slot folds in everything a Routed Supplier gets — matching RFQs routed to you with the buyer’s details, your buyer-facing profile + scoped AI, indexed product pages. You don’t buy both.
You name your category. You set the bid. We evaluate fit.
It’s a closed sealed bid.No published reserve, no public leaderboard. You tell us the category you want to own and what you’re willing to commit; we evaluate fit and confirm whether the slot is available.
The value is in the scarcity.One slot per category, never resold while held. Re-selling would dilute it — so we don’t.
No sales pressure.If it’s not the right fit, it isn’t. We only want a holder that wants to own their category as much as we want them to.
