Productized 30-day campaigns that build the off-site signals AI search engines and assistants use to recommend brands. Brand mentions, community signal, and editorial authority, packaged into tiers with fixed deliverables and fixed pricing.
30-day delivery window · Fixed deliverables · No retainer
Every tier runs in a 30-day window. Tiers scale by intensity, not timeline. Most clients run subsequent campaigns to build sustained signal over time, since AI visibility compounds with cadence.
Entry-level coverage for brands starting their AI visibility work or testing the channel.
For brands ready to add high-authority editorial placements to the mix.
Our most-purchased tier. Doubles editorial authority placements and expands brand mention coverage.
For brands that need AI visibility plus broader news cycle reach. Adds an Earned Media campaign on top of the Dominant tier scope.
30-day delivery window on every tier · No retainer · Reddit Mentions intentionally capped at 10
AI search engines and assistants pull citations from a relatively narrow set of source types. Independent third-party content. Community discussion. High-authority news sites. The composition of every tier reflects what the research consistently identifies as the strongest signals.
Listicles drive 9 in 10 of those third-party mentions, which is why brand mentions on independent publications anchor every tier.
Reddit is the single most-cited source domain across major AI assistants, which is why every tier above the Foundation entry includes community signal.
Volume and quality of branded mentions correlate with visibility across every AI platform measured. The signal compounds when sustained.
Every line item is in the tier because the data supports it as a primary AI visibility signal. Volume is calibrated to what works without crossing into noise.
Editorial listicles and reviews published on relevant DR30+ websites. Each placement is custom written to position your brand against a defined unique selling proposition, with the format selected per client based on target queries. AI assistants pull heavily from listicle and roundup content when answering recommendation queries, which is why this is the foundation of every tier. Independent third-party publication is what gives the mention citation weight, not just the number of placements.
Your brand appears in the third-party content that AI engines cite when prospects ask for recommendations in your category.
Ten authentic community comments across relevant subreddits, distributed over the 30-day window. Comments are crafted to fit the conversation rather than read as promotion, which is the reason Reddit holds the citation weight it does in AI answers. Volume is intentionally capped at ten per tier, because higher volumes read as coordinated to both Reddit moderation and the systems that weight Reddit for citation, and that erodes the signal you are paying for.
Your brand surfaces in the community discussions AI assistants treat as authentic peer recommendation.
Custom evergreen editorial placements on DR60+ U.S. news sites with 10,000+ monthly visits. Each piece includes a contextual dofollow link with no sponsored tags. These are the same domains that influence AI Overviews and chat-based answers, and the evergreen format means the content stays in citation pools long after the campaign ends. Tier 2 includes 5 placements, tiers 3 and 4 each include 10.
Your brand earns authority placements on the news domains AI engines weight most heavily.
Distribution of an optimized press release through a syndication network with prioritized regional pickup. Local AI queries surface differently than national ones, with location-specific outlets carrying disproportionate weight. The local add-on targets outlets within your defined geographic market.
Your brand appears in the local news coverage AI assistants pull from for location-specific answers.
A pitched campaign with 50+ guaranteed pickups across multiple publications. Broader reach than the editorial placements above, but with different mechanics. Earned media is a brand-building investment with news cycle reach, layered on top of the AI visibility foundation rather than substituting for it. Reserved for the Authority tier because it is most effective when stacked on existing AI signal.
Your brand earns broader news cycle visibility on top of the AI signal foundation built by the rest of the tier.
A short intake covers your brand positioning, target queries, unique selling propositions, and any existing AI visibility presence. We map the tier to the queries that matter most for your category.
Our team selects placement targets, drafts content, and reviews every piece against your brand context before it goes out. Each placement is written to fit the publication and to land the brand context naturally.
Placements go live across the 30-day window. Brand Mentions distribute across DR30+ sites. Reddit Mentions distribute across relevant subreddits over the 30 days, never in bursts. Exclusive Media Links and Earned Media run on their own publication schedules.
At day 30, you receive a delivery report covering every placement and every link. No automatic renewal, no ongoing fee. Most clients run another campaign.
AI Visibility increase in LLM-referred sessions
A biotech brand invisible to AI search engines. We restructured their content architecture around answer-intent queries and built topical authority in 90 days.
CRO + Content increase in PPC-generated leads
Audited McKesson's site and identified issues with navigation, sales messaging, and CTA placement. Repositioned an underutilized performance calculator as a strategic conversion tool. Results measured over six months.
Managed SEO increase in organic traffic
Botched Shopify migration left the site with missing metadata, slow pages, and a non-indexed homepage. Fixed the technical foundation, then systematically optimized category and product pages. 8,000 ranked keywords.
Managed SEO average monthly ROI
WordPress redesign across 200 pages with segmented email funnels. Long-form SEO content pulling 10,000+ visits per post. Bottom-funnel content targeting AI platforms drove a 29,700% increase in AI referrals. Revenue doubled in two months.
I hit the jackpot when I hired Digital Elevator for their SEO services. They are truly Search Engine Optimization experts. My revenue doubled in two months, which easily covers the cost of the monthly service.
What was initially some service page sales copy led to evaluations into our overall sales cycle and how content and email opt-ins through white papers and our revenue calculator tool could be leveraged to generate more leads.
Digital Elevator worked with my budget, put a plan in place, and their team of SEOs, web developers, and writers is second to none. My website traffic is growing consistently and the sales and leads generated are providing us the opportunity to expand.
AI search engines and assistants pull citations from a relatively narrow set of source types. Research from AirOps found that 85% of brand mentions in AI search come from third-party sources, with listicles driving 9 in 10 of those mentions. Averi.ai's analysis attributes 40.1% of citations in large language models to Reddit. Ahrefs research shows branded web mentions correlate with stronger visibility on every AI platform measured. We built tiers around the formats the data consistently identifies as the strongest signals.
You receive a delivery report covering placements and links. There is no automatic renewal and no ongoing fee. Most clients run another campaign, since AI visibility compounds with cadence, but you are free to pause or reassess between campaigns.
For competitive industries or aggressive timelines, yes. The Ahrefs research showing branded mentions correlate with visibility across every AI platform measured points to cumulative effect. Less competitive markets often see strong results from quarterly campaigns with monitoring in between.
Reddit holds the citation weight it does (40.1% of large language model citations, per Averi.ai) precisely because the discussion looks authentic. High-volume coordinated posting reads as inauthentic to both Reddit moderation and to the systems that weight Reddit for citation. Ten mentions per month, distributed across relevant subreddits, builds presence without compromising the signal that makes Reddit valuable in the first place.
Earned Media is a brand-building investment with broader news cycle reach. It works best when stacked on top of an existing AI visibility foundation rather than as a primary tactic. The Authority tier includes it for clients who need both AI signal and news cycle exposure. Lower tiers focus the budget on the formats with the highest direct AI visibility return, which the AirOps and Averi.ai research identifies as third-party brand mentions, editorial authority placements, and Reddit discussion.
If your customers are in a defined geographic market, local is the right starting point. The local Press Release distribution targets regional outlets and local news syndication, which aligns with how AI assistants surface answers for location-specific queries. National tiers are appropriate when your buyers are not geographically constrained or when you need authority signals from major U.S. news domains.
No, and we recommend skepticism toward anyone who does. AI platforms update their citation sources independently, weight signals differently, and respond to the same prompt with different answers across users. We guarantee the deliverables: the placements, the links, the report. Visibility lift in AI answers is the goal, but it depends on factors outside any vendor's control.
Both. Traditional SEO and AI visibility share signals, but they optimize for different surfaces. A site that ranks well in Google search is more likely to be cited by AI assistants, but ranking alone does not guarantee citation. Most clients who run AI visibility campaigns alongside ongoing SEO see better results than either tactic in isolation. See our Managed SEO program for the search-side counterpart.
Yes. You can run a Foundation campaign, see results, and step up to Growth, Dominant, or Authority for the next campaign with no friction. Many clients start at Foundation or Growth and move up after the first campaign validates the channel.
Pick the tier that matches your reach. We handle the rest.
