Challenge
The brand had almost no presence in the roundups and comparison articles AI assistants pull from for high-intent "best of" prompts in its category.
Approach
A portfolio of placed articles across authority tiers, each written to be extractable and supported by backlinks from other trusted sites. Citation share was benchmarked before placement and tracked daily after.
Result
Placements were cited within the first month and reached a top-two average position across the major platforms, adding roughly a third on top of the brand's own-site citation volume.
