    Digital PR and link acquisition that AI engines also read.

    Original data, expert commentary, and placement in the publications that both pass authority and get retrieved as sources by AI assistants.

    Authority is the constraint on almost every stalled SEO program, and it's now double-duty work: the same third-party mentions that pass link equity are the sources AI engines retrieve when deciding which brands to name. We build campaigns that earn both at once — original data, expert commentary, and placements chosen for retrieval value, not domain-rating vanity.

    // Key_Takeaways

    • Links and AI citations come from the same place: being mentioned by sources other people trust.
    • Original data outperforms opinion. A number journalists can cite is a reusable asset.
    • Relevance beats domain rating — a niche trade publication often moves rankings more than a generic high-DR site.
    • Unlinked brand mentions still contribute to AI retrieval and entity strength.

    Buying links buys a metric. Earning mentions buys a reputation that both Google and AI engines can verify.

    // Frequently_Asked

    Questions about this engagement.

    Do you buy links?+

    No. Paid link schemes are a policy violation and a fragile foundation. Everything we run is editorial or earned through genuine assets and commentary.

    How many links should we expect?+

    Volume depends on asset quality and category. We report placements, referring domains, and — just as importantly — the AI citation lift those placements produce.

    Why do you care about unlinked mentions?+

    Because AI engines do. Retrieval and entity corroboration don't require a hyperlink. A brand named across many trusted sources gets recommended more often.

    How long do campaigns take to show impact?+

    First placements typically land in 30–60 days. Ranking impact from authority accumulation is a 3–6 month curve.

    Can you fix a toxic backlink profile?+

    Yes — audit, classification, outreach for removal where practical, and a disavow decision backed by evidence rather than fear.

    How do we make sure our company shows up on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini?+

    Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.

    What actually makes a page get cited by AI instead of just ranked?+

    Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.

    Is SEO still worth investing in now that AI answers so many queries?+

    Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.

    How quickly can we expect results from an Arise GEO engagement?+

    Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.

    What do we get, and what does it cost?+

    You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.

    Earn the mentions that both engines count.
