AI answers name two or three brands. Not yours.

Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

Buyers ask AI who to use, and it recommends the brands it has read about. Rankera is an AI brand mention service: we write the articles and get your brand named inside them — 20 a month, on niche publications we own and operate.

You can rank first and still never get cited.

Search used to end on your website. Now it often ends in a ChatGPT reply or a Google AI Overview that names two or three companies and moves on. If no publication has written about you, you are not one of them — and no amount of ranking fixes it, because answer engine optimization is decided by what the sources say, not by who sits at the top of the blue links.

1Rankings are not recommendationsPosition one puts you in a list of links. It does not put your name in the sentence a buyer actually reads.
2Links do not say your nameA backlink is a vote. It is not a paragraph recommending you, and the paragraph is what gets read back.
3Coverage is gatekeptEditors say no, or say yes for a fee per placement, on a timeline that is theirs rather than yours.
4You cannot cite yourselfThe decision is made off-site, in what other publications say. Nothing you publish on your own domain counts as someone else naming you.

Niche-relevant brand mentions, on publications we own in your niche.

A mention only counts if it sits somewhere a buyer in your category would actually be reading. So we do not place you wherever there is room — we own publications in your niche, and your brand is named inside articles about the things your buyers are already searching for.

What the AI brand mention service includes.

Two deliverables inside one monthly fee. No per-placement cost, no editorial gatekeeping, and anything we add as we bring on more platforms is included at the rate you already pay.

M
Medium

Medium posts, written and indexed.

A real article first, your brand named inside it. Written, published, and pushed to indexing so it is available to be cited.

How each brand mention is made.

Every placement is the same unit of work, twenty times a month.

  1. 1

    We pick the publication.

    Which of our sites fits your vertical, what the article should cover, and where your brand belongs inside it.

  2. 2

    We write the article.

    It has to be worth reading on its own. If the article is thin, the mention sitting inside it is worth nothing.

  3. 3

    It goes live and stays up.

    No pitching and no outside editor. It gets indexed, becomes a source an answer engine can cite, and stays live for as long as your subscription runs, plus 12 months after.

Brand mentions, not backlinks.

A link is a footprint. It can be counted, crawled, and traced back to whoever placed it. A mention is not. Your brand is named and recommended inside a genuinely useful article, and nothing lands in your backlink profile.

Frequently asked questions about AI brand mentions.

Something not covered here? Email [email protected].

What is an AI brand mention service?

An AI brand mention service gets your brand named and recommended inside published articles, so that the systems building AI answers have something to cite. Large language models like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and features like Google AI Overviews, assemble recommendations from what publications say about a brand. If nothing says your name, nothing can recommend it. Rankera writes those articles and places your brand inside them, 20 times a month.

How do brand mentions help with answer engine optimization?

Answer engine optimization, or AEO, is the work of getting cited in AI answers rather than only ranking in blue links. On-page AEO tweaks help a model understand your site once it arrives, but the recommendation itself is decided off-site, from the sources the model already read. Brand mentions put your name in those sources. We write about this regularly on the Rankera blog.

Are these real websites?

Yes. They are expired domains with genuine history, bought clean and rebuilt in keeping with what the site used to be. Each one is separately designed and separately hosted, and each is updated continuously with niche-relevant content. They are run as publications, not left as shells.

Is this a private blog network (PBN)?

A private blog network exists to pass links. These properties do not pass links to you. Your placements are mentions inside articles, so there is no network of links pointing at your site and nothing in your link profile connecting the properties to each other or to you.

Will brand mentions affect my backlink profile?

No, because there is no link to your site. Nothing is added to your backlink profile, so there is nothing to devalue, nothing to disavow, and nothing to reverse-engineer. The placements sit outside your link graph entirely. That is the difference between a brand mention and a backlink.

What does an AI brand mention service cost?

$250 per month covers all 20 brand mentions and all 30 Medium posts, with no per-placement fee and no editorial gatekeeping. The client dashboard, competitor research, AI visibility tracking and whitelabel reporting are included at no extra charge. Placements are produced across the month rather than all at once.
