AI keeps confusing my company with another. How do I fix it?

Pair your name with your category everywhere, and give the system anchor points it can use to tell you apart.

Stop using the bare name alone in prominent places. "Acme" becomes "Acme, the invoicing tool for freelancers". The pairing is what separates you from the other Acmes.

Standardise the exact string. Pick one form of your name and use it in the title tag, H1, metadata, schema, and every profile. Variants fragment the signal.

Add Organization schema with a canonical URL and links to profiles you control. These are concrete anchors a system can use to disambiguate.

If the collision is with something much better known, accept that the bare name will resolve to them and optimise entirely for the paired form.
