How It Works ↓

The Problem

The Problem No One Is Talking About

You can have perfect SEO, rank #1 on Google, and still be invisible to AI. When someone asks ChatGPT 'What's the best automation agency?', it doesn't crawl Google. It cites sources it already trusts — articles, rankings, media publications. If your brand isn't in those sources, you don't exist in AI search. Period.

AI assistants cite an average of 3-5 sources per answer. If you're not one of them, your competitor is.

Process

How AI Source Placement Works

Phase 1

AI Query Mapping

We search your target keywords across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We document exactly which sources each AI cites for every query. Output: Source map for 20-30 queries across 4 AI platforms.

Phase 2

Source Gap Analysis

We compare the cited sources against your current presence. Where are you missing? Which publications, rankings, and articles could include your brand but don't? Output: Prioritized list of placement opportunities.

Phase 3

Strategic Placement

We contact the publications and media outlets that AI platforms cite. We negotiate inclusion in rankings, listicles, comparison articles, and expert roundups. Output: Your brand placed in 5-15 high-citation sources per quarter.

Phase 4

Verification & Monitoring

We re-query the AI platforms weekly to verify your brand now appears in answers. We track citation position, sentiment, and frequency over time. Output: Weekly monitoring dashboard + monthly citation report.

Questions About AI Source Placement

I already rank #1 on Google. Do I still need AI Source Placement?+

Yes. Ranking #1 on Google doesn't guarantee AI visibility. ChatGPT and Gemini pull from different sources than Google's organic results. In 2026, 78% of AI searches happen on ChatGPT, citing media articles and trusted publications — not necessarily the top Google result.

How long does it take for my brand to appear in ChatGPT answers?+

Typically 2-4 weeks after placement in a cited source. AI models re-index their training sources periodically, and when they do, your brand starts appearing in relevant answers. We verify this weekly.

What kind of publications do you place brands in?+

It depends on your industry. We target the specific publications that AI platforms are already citing for your keywords — tech media, industry blogs, comparison sites, expert roundups. We reverse-engineer what the AI already trusts.

Can you guarantee my brand will appear in ChatGPT?+

We can't guarantee specific AI outputs since they're probabilistic. What we guarantee is placement in the sources that AI platforms actively cite. Brands placed in 5+ cited sources appear in AI answers for 70%+ of relevant queries.

How is this different from Digital PR or link building?+

Traditional PR targets journalists for brand awareness. Link building targets websites for backlinks. AI Source Placement targets the specific publications that AI assistants cite when answering user queries. The methodology is reverse-engineered from AI behavior, not from Google's algorithm.

Your Competitors Will Never Know Why AI Recommends You.

Strategic placement in the sources AI trusts. Results in 2-4 weeks.
