AI Visibility

4 products

Earned Media

$3,500 / order DR 30–75+ 4,000+ US publishers
What it does

Distributes high-quality, data-driven, journalistic stories originating from the client's site to over 4,000+ US partner publishers, including major local and national news outlets (like the Houston Chronicle, SFGATE, AOL, and MSN). Stories are distributed with original bylines, links, artwork, and a rel-canonical tag to prevent duplicate content issues.

Value prop

Scalable earned media placements on high Domain Rating (DR 30 to 75+) sites at a predictable cost, securing powerful homepage and contextual backlinks that competitors cannot easily duplicate.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

Editorial guidelines are strict. Content must be 100% journalistic (no advertorial/salesy copy), require an individual's name for the byline, and include verifiable source citations. No C-suite or sales personnel can be directly quoted.

AI / AIO alignment

Because LLMs and AI Overviews train on highly authoritative, data-rich news networks, securing natural brand citations and high-DR backlinks on these premium sites trains AI engines to recognize and recommend your brand as a primary industry authority.

Exclusive Media Links

Invite-only 1,000+ word articles Private network
What it does

Secures invite-only, contextual do-follow link placements within human-written, 1,000+ word evergreen news articles hosted on premier, high-traffic US news domains.

Value prop

Unparalleled link exclusivity. These placements are secured through private publisher partnerships and are completely unavailable through public marketplaces, offering massive ranking power and brand safety.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

To preserve the integrity of the private publisher network, domains are kept confidential. The editorial team retains final veto power over URLs and anchor text; spammy or over-optimized phrases will be revised or rejected.

AI / AIO alignment

These links are specifically engineered for AI search. AI Overviews and ChatGPT look for highly trusted, clean, human-written editorial content on mainstream news domains to cite as facts. Placing your brand contextually on these domains directly influences how LLMs catalog your business.

Digital PR & Digital PR Plus

500-word articles AP News · Business Insider · MarketWatch Homepage only
What it does

Gathers brand placements on highly reputable news and media platforms (such as Yahoo Finance and HubSpot) via manual, targeted outreach. Under Digital PR Plus, professionally written 500-word articles are distributed across tiered networks (including AP News, Business Insider, and MarketWatch) for maximum credibility.

Value prop

Establishes premier brand authority, builds trust signals, and secures heavy-hitting links on major domestic and international news networks to drive organic search growth.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

Subject to strict content guidelines — articles must be objective, written in an official/non-salesy tone, starting with a dateline and an initial-caps headline under 18 words. Certain niches are strictly blocked (no adult, gambling, pharma, or medical/legal clients). Homepage ONLY.

AI / AIO alignment

Generative search engines place immense weight on brand mentions in Tier 1 publications. Digital PR guarantees the exact high-trust press footprint that AI engines pull from when generating summaries about your brand or industry.

Review & Reputation Management

$275 / location / month 200 AI review credits/mo GBP · Yelp · Meta · Apple Maps
What it does

This managed service consolidates local listings (Google My Business, Yelp, Meta, Apple Maps) and customer reviews into a single white-labeled dashboard. It features automated, AI-assisted review responses (200 credits/month per location), review requests via email/SMS, and weekly GBP updates.

Value prop

An effortless, centralized solution to build trust, manage public sentiment, and dominate local search results by keeping listings 100% accurate across the web.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

Not available for restricted/gray niches (adult, weapons, alcohol, pharma, gambling, politics). Requires active admin access to the client's GSC/Meta accounts and a physical address.

AI / AIO alignment

AI engines rely on consistent local citations, high review velocity, and positive review sentiment when selecting local businesses for GEO and voice search queries. Keeping listings active and answering reviews tells local AI search tools that you are a highly active, prominent, and trustworthy business.

Content

3 products

Blogger / Blogger Pro

Niche-vetted writers Long-form Q&A structure
What it does

Provides structured, high-quality, long-form blog content written by niche-vetted experts for the client's website.

Value prop

Effortlessly builds topical authority and drives organic keyword rankings without pulling resources away from internal teams.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

To succeed in modern search, content strategy must shift away from keyword stuffing toward clear informational quality and thoroughness.

AI / AIO alignment

Blogger Pro content must be optimized for "target questions" rather than simple target keywords. Structuring blogs with clear H2/H3 headers in a Q&A layout makes it highly scannable for AI crawlers, placing the client in prime position to be featured directly in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers.

Web Copy

Landing & service pages Commercial assets SEO-optimized
What it does

Delivers highly polished, SEO-optimized copy for core business landing pages, service pages, and commercial assets.

Value prop

Turns organic search visitors into qualified leads by perfectly explaining service offerings and establishing immediate brand trust.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

Web copy must maintain a balance between commercial intent and clear information architecture.

AI / AIO alignment

Like Blogger Pro, Web Copy is highly driven by target questions. Clearly structured, factual web content allows LLMs to easily catalog what your business sells, helping your site win citations in commercial, transaction-oriented AI search inquiries.

Content Refresh

Updates existing pages Schema markup Restore lost rankings
What it does

Systematically updates, refines, and rewrites existing articles or web pages on the client's site to improve relevancy, accuracy, and performance.

Value prop

The most cost-effective way to restore lost rankings and double organic traffic on legacy URLs without having to pay for brand-new content development.

Editorial discretion & AEO / AIO / GEO focus
Discretion

Requires careful assessment of existing organic traffic to preserve current rankings while updating outdated statistics, internal links, and headings.

AI / AIO alignment

Search algorithms and AI engines heavily favor content "freshness" and factual precision. Modifying older blog posts to include Schema markup, updated data, and targeted question-and-answer snippets makes your existing content highly visible to generative search tools.
