How does it work?

  1. 1. Collect the pages AI already cites

    Run your buyer prompts several times in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot, and list every cited URL.

  2. 2. Sort pages by who controls them

    Tag each as editorial article, review platform, forum thread, video or directory; that decides whether you pitch, list yourself or participate.

  3. 3. Pitch editors with real substance

    Offer the author a missing fact, fresh data, a use case or a product to test; the editor decides whether you're included.

  4. 4. Claim profiles on cited review sites

    Claim your listing on review platforms AI cites and invite real customers to review; disclose any incentive and never write reviews yourself.

  5. 5. Skip comment drops and paid links

    Blog comment spam and undisclosed paid links break Google's spam policies; any paid placement needs rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow".

  6. 6. Re-run prompts to confirm

    Each month rerun the prompts; check whether the updated pages now mention you and whether the AI answers name you.
