The Problem

Why brands stay
invisible in AI search

AI tools recommend the brands they can verify through trusted, independent sources — editorial links and brand mentions on authoritative sites. Here's what that looks like:

AI Assistant · answer

Based on editorial coverage across trusted publications, the top options are:

1. Talkiatry
DR 64
2. ADHD Online
DR 51
3. Circle Medical
DR 47
Cited: Healthline, Forbes, Business Insider +12 more
Brands without editorial coverage

Not cited. Not mentioned. Not recommended.

You might rank #1 in Google. But if AI can't verify you through editorial mentions on authoritative sites, you don't exist in the answer.

THE WORK

A real pitch, annotated.

This is what gets editorial coverage on Healthline, USA Today, and Forbes — not scraped contact lists and generic templates.

Subject: Re: Adult ADHD experts needed for Healthline feature

Hi Maya —

I read your piece on therapist shortages last month, and saw your Qwoted query came in 18 minutes ago.

My client Dr. Rachel Park, Chief Clinical Officer at Anchor Mental Health (telehealth ADHD platform), has overseen 12,000+ adult ADHD evaluations this year — including a 73% increase in women over 35 seeking diagnosis.

Quote-ready below:

"Adult women being diagnosed with ADHD today aren't developing it late — they've been masking it for decades. We're not seeing an epidemic; we're seeing a correction. The diagnostic criteria were built around how ADHD presents in boys. Adult women have had to wait for the field to catch up." — Dr. Rachel Park, Chief Clinical Officer, Anchor Mental Health

Can grab Dr. Park for a 15-min interview before your Friday deadline. Or use as-is.

Brandon

1
References the journalist's recent work
Signals an actual relationship — not a scraped contact list pitched to thousands.
2
Responds inside the query window
18 minutes after the request — late pitches get archived no matter how good they are.
3
Names a credentialed expert with specific data
Clinical title, real platform, concrete numbers the journalist can verify — not a generic "industry expert."
4
Quote-ready, copy-paste friendly
Pre-formatted to drop straight into a story. Removes work the journalist would otherwise have to do.
5
Offers more, respects the deadline
Acts like a partner with flexibility — not a vendor blasting boilerplate submissions.
RELATIONSHIPS

SPEED

Inside the 24-hour window

Most journalist requests close within 24–48 hours. We respond inside that window, every time. Speed is the difference between "pitched" and "placed."

AUTHORITY

What Our Clients Say

Reporter Outreach's ability to write and understand our perspective, point of view, mission, and values is impressive. I've worked with 4–5 blog and content writers, and Reporter Outreach is, by far, the best company I've worked with. Their ability to write is head and shoulders above their competitors, and it feels like they've blended themselves into our point of view.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Link Building Agency FAQs

Straight answers on how we work, what to expect, and what sets Reporter Outreach apart from other agencies.

How is Reporter Outreach different from other link building agencies?
We actually pitch journalists and write editorial responses every day — we don't buy guest posts, use PBNs, or recycle the same 50 sites every agency uses. Every placement is earned through reactive digital PR: HARO, Qwoted, and direct media relationships built over nine years.

You get a live tracker showing where your links went, the DR of each site, and the anchor text used. If you want to verify a placement, you can click into it and see it on the publication yourself. That's not standard in this industry — most agencies show you a spreadsheet and hope you don't look too closely.
How long until I see rankings and AI citations improve?
First placements usually go live within 2–4 weeks of kickoff. Meaningful ranking movement starts around month 2–3, with most clients seeing compounding gains by month 4–6.

AI citations follow a similar curve — Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google's AI Overviews index editorial coverage from authority publications, so the more consistently you're cited in places like Forbes, VentureBeat, or USA Today, the more those tools surface your brand in related queries. This is why we require a 3-month minimum: month 1 builds the baseline, months 2–3 show the compounding.
How do you verify a placement is actually high quality?
Every site gets screened through Ahrefs before we pitch it — domain rating, organic visibility, topical relevance, and whether the site has real editorial standards versus a paid-post farm dressed up as a news site. We don't use PBNs, link networks, or reciprocal schemes.

Every placement is verified in your tracker with the underlying data, and if a site doesn't meet the quality bar we agreed on at kickoff, it doesn't count toward your monthly total.
What's the minimum commitment, and can I cancel?
Three months minimum on any monthly package, then month-to-month with 30 days notice. No annual contracts.

The three-month minimum isn't a sales tactic — it's the shortest honest window to build a measurable authority signal. If you want a one-off placement instead, our Link Insertions are sold a la carte starting at $300.
What happens if you don't deliver the agreed placement count?
Undelivered placements roll into the next billing cycle and get prioritized. You're not charged extra, and nothing is lost.

The goal is that over any 90-day window, you've received every placement you paid for — even if a specific month ran short because of a slow news cycle or a tougher vertical.
Will these placements help my brand get cited in AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity?
Yes — and this is where most link building falls short. AI models cite brands they can verify through authoritative, third-party editorial coverage. They don't cite your homepage.

A brand mentioned in Forbes, VentureBeat, or Healthline is one an AI tool can confidently surface in answers; a brand with only private networks and low-tier guest posts has no independent verification to draw from. Our Digital PR service builds the editorial footprint that makes your brand citation-worthy in Google's AI Overviews and LLM-powered search.
Do you work with my industry?
We've run campaigns across 12+ verticals — healthcare, SaaS, eCommerce, financial services, cybersecurity, real estate, HR, food and recipe, interior design, travel, and fitness. Each industry has its own publications, journalist beats, and pitch angles, so campaigns are never templated.

If you're in a niche that isn't listed, book a call. Odds are we've run an adjacent campaign, and we'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.
How is a Full-Feature Article different from a guest post?
A guest post is something you (or a writer) contribute to a third-party blog in exchange for a backlink. The blog usually doesn't have an engaged editorial audience, and the post sits quietly earning link equity.

A Full-Feature Article is an editorial placement on a major publication — USA Today, VentureBeat, Elite Daily — where your brand is the focus of the story, written with editorial oversight and reaching an actual readership. The two aren't interchangeable. They're different product categories.

Ready to Scale Your Traffic & AI Visibility?

We'll analyze your backlink profile and build a custom strategy — no commitment required.
