Trust signals

Authority the engines can see: mentions where they already look.

AI engines decide who to trust the same way people do: by who else vouches for you. We earn mentions and links on the sources the engines already draw on, and skip the ones they ignore.

Who it is for

This is the right service if...

  • Businesses with good content that competitors outrank and out-cite because they have more recognised sources behind them.
  • Brands whose name rarely appears outside their own site, so AI engines have little evidence to cite.
  • Companies that have been burned by link networks and want placements they would be happy to show a client.

What is included

Everything in the engagement.

Each item is delivered, not advised. You see the change on the site and the effect in the weekly report.

Source map
The publications, directories, review sites and communities that Google and each AI engine cite for your topic, ranked by how often they are drawn on.
Editorial placements
Articles, expert quotes and resource mentions on relevant publications, written to be useful, with a link where it is natural.
Listicle and comparison inclusion
Presence on the "best of" and comparison pages that answer engines lean on when asked for recommendations.
Profile and directory consistency
The same facts about your business on every profile and directory the engines read, so entity signals agree.
Digital PR
Original data, surveys and expert commentary pitched to journalists, because cited statistics travel further than anything else.
Source-level reporting
Every placement listed with the source, its citation weight and any change in your AI citations after it went live.

How it runs

Four steps, then repeat.

  1. 01

    Map the sources

    We record where the engines get their evidence for your topic and where competitors are mentioned that you are not.

  2. 02

    Earn the placements

    Editorial content, expert quotes and data pieces are placed on those sources, one by one.

  3. 03

    Align the entity

    Profiles and directories are cleaned so every mention of you says the same thing.

  4. 04

    Report by source

    Placements are reported with the citation movement they produced, and the next month targets what worked.

What you get reported

The numbers in your weekly report.

  • Mentions on engine-cited sources
  • Referring domains with citation weight
  • Share of answer after placements
  • Referral sessions and leads

Questions

About Authority & Link Building.

Does link building still matter for AI search?

Yes, in two ways. Google AI Overviews mostly cite pages that already rank, and links remain a ranking signal. Answer engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity weigh brand mentions on trusted third-party sources when deciding who to recommend. Links and mentions on the right sources move both.

What kind of links do you build?

Editorial placements on real publications, expert quotes, resource mentions, inclusion in comparison and best-of pages, and digital PR around original data. We do not use link networks, paid link farms or automated outreach.

How do you choose target sites?

By checking which sources the engines actually cite for your topic. A site the engines never draw on adds little, however high its metrics. A community thread they cite every week can be worth more than a big-name placement.

How many links per month?

It depends on the topic and the sources available, and we would rather report five placements that moved your citations than fifty that did nothing. Volume is agreed after the source map, not before.
