Digital PR services that get you named where AI engines look
AI engines do not recommend the business with the best website. They recommend the one that trusted third parties keep naming: the “best of” lists, review sites, directories and trade publications they read. If your competitors are on those pages and you are not, no amount of on-site work closes the gap.
Our digital PR services earn your place on those sources, every month, and log every placement so you can check it.
30 minutes. No pitch deck, no pressure.
Earned Mentions is our digital PR service. We find the lists, review sites, directories and publications AI engines cite for your category, then earn your business a place on them, linked or unlinked. Every mention is logged with its URL. It is included in every Growth Programme plan and also sold on its own.
- 01
AI engines trust consensus
When most sources name a competitor, the answer names them too. - 02
Your competitors are on lists you have never seen
Nobody has mapped which sources AI engines actually cite for your category. - 03
Link vendors sell volume, not relevance
Dozens of links on sites nobody reads do nothing for AI answers, and can hurt you. - 04
People already mention you without a link
Those unlinked brand mentions are easy wins nobody has claimed. - 05
Nobody owns outreach
It happens when someone has a spare afternoon, which is never.
What counts as an earned mention
A live placement of your business on a qualifying third-party page: a list, review site, directory, trade publication or expert roundup. It counts whether it carries a link or not, because AI engines read both.
- 01
Relevance
The source is relevant to your category.
- 02
Authority
It has genuine authority.
- 03
Context
It names you in the right context.
- Three directory profiles count as one mention.
- No private blog networks, no spam directories, no paid link farms.
Find the sources
Your monthly AI Visibility Report shows which sources each engine cites for your category, and where competitors are named and you are not.
Build the target list
Lists, review sites, directories, publications and roundups, ranked by how often AI engines and buyers rely on them.
Earn the placement
Pitches, expert contributions, data your team can share, complete directory profiles, and claiming existing unlinked brand mentions.
Log and verify
Every mention is recorded with its live URL and a screenshot, and checked against the three tests.
Track the effect
We watch whether the sources you joined start showing up next to your name in AI answers.

How it is measured
Mentions placed each month against your plan's count, and citations earned in AI answers.
- If a month falls short, the gap banks and rolls into the next month. We never fill it with low-quality placements.
- We commit to the mentions and report what they achieve. No one can guarantee what an AI engine says. What an honest agency can promise.
Earned mentions are included in every plan
Every plan runs the same senior process. Only the monthly volume of pages, earned mentions and tracked AI prompts changes between plans.
- Monthly AI Visibility Report
- Live dashboard (GSC + GA4)
- One-page monthly roadmap
- Monthly strategy call
- Publishing to your CMS

Five commitments behind every mention
Five commitments that separate the Growth Programme from a generic blogging retainer.
30 minutes. No pitch deck, no pressure.
- 01
Flat counts, not "up to"

100%
No 'up to' language, and no vanishing deliverables.
- 02
AI Visibility Report in every plan
Even our smallest plan tracks your AI visibility monthly. Most agencies save that for their premium plan.
4+
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews, on every plan.
- 03
Ships in week three
No paid strategy months. The plan is built in parallel and your first pieces land before Month 1 ends.
Wk 3
Strategy is built in parallel, so momentum starts in month one.
- 04
Revenue-first content
Comparison, alternatives, service and use-case pages, each mapped to the page that turns a reader into an enquiry. Not top-of-funnel traffic bait.
Every
Every piece points toward an enquiry, consultation, quote or demo.
- 05
Google + AI search ready
Every piece built for traditional search rankings and AI-engine citation. Schema, llms.txt, entity work. Infrastructure, not buzzwords.
