Robots collect the books
Small programs called crawlers walk around the web all day, picking up pages for the library. They visit some shelves every day and others almost never.
Publisher network
A placement only helps if AI can find it, keep it and trust it. So we choose publishers by what crawlers and AI assistants actually do, not by a domain score.
The simple version

When someone asks a question, the AI doesn’t read the whole library. It pulls a few books from the shelves it can reach and writes a short answer.

If your name is in those books, you’re in the answer. If it’s in a book nobody picks up, it doesn’t matter how nice the cover is.
So we find out which shelves actually get read, and get you onto them.
The detailed version
Domain scores and traffic estimates tell you how a site has done in search. They don’t tell you whether AI reads it. So before we recommend a publisher, we look for evidence at each step of the chain.
Some sites block AI crawlers. Nothing published there reaches the assistants that depend on those crawlers, however strong the site looks.
Published doesn’t mean indexed. If a site’s new pages don’t make it into search indexes, a placement there can stay invisible.
Assistants lean on search tools to find sources. A site has to come up for the searches behind your buyers’ questions.
The strongest evidence of all: when your buyers ask, the assistants already cite this publisher in their answers.
The difference
How a placement works
We look at which sources the answers draw on when your buyers ask.
We test those publishers against the chain above and drop the ones that don’t hold up.
You approve the list, the price and the article. Then it goes live with the publisher.
We confirm the page is live and indexed, then ask your buyers’ questions again to see what changed.
No one can promise that an assistant will quote a specific article, and we won’t either. Placements are quoted per site, and paid content is labelled the way the publisher and the law require.
Your free score shows whether assistants name you today and who they name instead.
