Why it matters

  1. 01

    AI doesn't only read your website

    Answers are often built from media, reviews, directories and industry sites.

  2. 02

    Outdated sources keep errors alive

    An old article or listing can keep wrong information in circulation long after you've fixed your own pages.

  3. 03

    A few good sources beat many weak ones

    Relevant, trusted sources matter more than lots of low-quality links.

Questions about this service

Is this link building?

No. We don't chase backlink volume. We focus on a smaller number of credible, relevant sources that AI systems actually use.

Are media costs included?

Media placements, publishing fees and third-party distribution may be quoted separately, so you always see what goes to publishers.
