Misidentified by Google and AI: How Sasha Blake Used The Kalicube Process to Reclaim Her Identity and Recover $2.2M in Business
TLDR: Sasha Blake, a respected fintech founder, was being misidentified by Google and ChatGPT as a crypto blogger she no longer was. Her new company didn’t appear in search results, and her credibility suffered. After five months with Kalicube, her digital presence reflected her true identity. With her Knowledge Panel live, AI systems aligned, and visibility restored, Sasha recovered $2.2 million in lost opportunities and re-established her professional authority.
Their problem: AI and Google confused Sasha Blake with someone she no longer was
Sasha Blake had just launched her second fintech startup—a data-driven solution designed for enterprise banking. She had a solid pitch, early traction, and warm investor interest. But something kept going wrong.
What she didn’t know? When potential partners and VCs searched her name—or asked ChatGPT—they found a defunct crypto blog she ran years ago. No mention of her new company. No Knowledge Panel. No alignment with the authority she had worked so hard to build.
In just three months, Sasha calculated she’d lost at least $2.2 million in potential deals due to this digital disconnect.
The action they took: Sasha invested in The Kalicube Process™ to fix her digital identity
Sasha turned to Kalicube for a complete brand reset. With strategic guidance from Jason Barnard and hands-on support from Kalicube’s expert Digital Brand Engineers, she underwent the implementation of The Kalicube Process—specifically designed to fix exactly this kind of misidentification.
The first step? Entity disambiguation. Google and ChatGPT were confusing Sasha Blake, the fintech founder, with Sasha Blake, the inactive crypto blogger. Using Kalicube Pro—our proprietary platform trained on over 3 billion data points—we ran a complete Understandability Audit™ to identify every piece of outdated, conflicting, or misleading information tied to her name.
Then we built her Entity Home—a personal website structured with schema and authoritative content, designed to become the single source of truth for AI and Google. This included a professionally crafted About page with a unique identifier that disambiguated her from others with the same name.
Finally, our Digital Brand Engineers aligned her wider digital footprint—Crunchbase, PR features, podcast appearances, and business profiles—so the entire ecosystem pointed to the right Sasha Blake.
The outcome they got: A Knowledge Panel, AI clarity, and visible, accurate search results
By month five, Sasha had a fully optimized Google Knowledge Panel, featuring her correct name, current company, professional title, and a clear description of her role in the fintech space. No more outdated crypto references. Her personal brand website—the Entity Home—ranked in the top results, alongside updated podcast interviews, articles, and authoritative profiles on Crunchbase and other trusted sites.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini began citing her accurately as a fintech entrepreneur. Instead of hallucinating past projects or confusing her with similarly named individuals, AI assistants now pulled from the structured facts we had orchestrated across her digital ecosystem.
AI confusion stopped. Search results aligned. Investor interest reignited. Sasha’s online identity—once fragmented and outdated—became a coherent, trusted, and future-proof brand presence.
The business and personal benefits they gained: Sasha Blake recovered $2.2 million in lost opportunities and reestablished her authority online
With her brand now correctly understood and confidently represented by Google and AI, Sasha quickly saw traction return.
She closed a $1.7M investment within two months of the Knowledge Panel going live. Another $500K in client business followed shortly after—opportunities that had stalled or slipped away before.
More than just revenue, Sasha gained back her professional momentum.
In Sasha’s words, “I finally feel like the online version of me matches who I really am. Kalicube gave me control of my narrative again.”
