// WHY MANAGED

Most agencies sell mentions. We position them.

Co-citation only works if you sit next to the right brands on the right publishers. That takes strategy, not volume.

// HOW IT WORKS

A managed process, six steps deep.

Every step shows up in your dashboard. Approve, override, or hand it off entirely.

step_01

AI visibility audit

We map where you show up across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Co-citation gaps come out of this first call.

$ audit --ai

step_02

Co-citation plan

We identify the category leaders you want to sit next to and the publishers that mention them most often.

$ plan --co-citation

step_03

Publisher shortlist

Custom list per month, drawn from 700+ vetted domains. You approve before anything goes out.

$ shortlist --custom

step_04

Editorial briefing

Each publisher gets a real brief. Tone of voice, target context, brands to co-mention, terms to avoid.

$ brief --tone

step_05

Placement and QA

We verify the mention is live, indexable, in the right context, and crawled by the AI bots.

$ place --verify

step_06

AI share of voice report

Monthly view of where you rank in AI answers, against the category leaders you targeted.

$ report --ai-sov

// THE BRIEF

Every mention starts with a real brief.

Publishers respond to context. We send a full briefing per placement: which brands to co-mention, which format to use, what to include and what to leave out.

The brief is built from your AI visibility audit and the publisher's editorial style. No copy-paste templates. No generic press releases.

Result: the mention reads like editorial, sits next to the brands you want to be associated with, and gets picked up by the AI crawlers you care about.

// QUESTIONS

What people ask before handing this off.

Want a deeper look? The free analysis call covers your AI visibility too.

What does managed mean here?

We run strategy and execution. Pick publishers, write briefs, handle placement, verify indexation, then report on AI visibility every month.

What does it cost?

Self-serve is publisher price plus 10%. Managed starts at $500 a month for strategy and execution. Publisher costs are billed at flat platform prices, no markup.

Why mentions instead of links?

Both still help. Mentions correlate more strongly with AI search visibility because LLMs read co-citation as a category signal, not just a hyperlink.

Which AI models do you target?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot. The publishers that influence these crawlers are the ones we shortlist for you.

Do I approve placements?

Yes. By default every publisher in the shortlist goes through your approval before we brief them. You can switch to hands-off if you prefer.

How fast do results come?

First placements go live within days. AI overview movement typically follows in 4 to 8 weeks as crawlers re-index the host publishers.

Can you work in English markets?

Yes. We work in 12 languages with local writers and local publisher databases. No auto-translation, no generic global lists.

What is the minimum commitment?

Month to month. Cancel any time. Placements you have already paid for stay live.

Do you handle reporting?

Yes. Monthly dashboard with AI overview appearances, mentions placed, co-citation matrix, and a one-page summary for stakeholders.

Hand off your brand mention program.

We map your AI visibility, build the co-citation plan, run placements, and report monthly. You approve the shortlist.
