Our point of view

Your reporting should lead back to you.

An AI answer can name your publication without linking to the story. Look at the articles it cites and the topics where your reporting appears, so your editorial and audience teams can see where readers have a path back to you.

Start with the reporting you want to understand.

01

Follow the article links

Choose topics you cover and inspect which of your pages appear as sources in the tested answers, alongside links to other publications.

02

Keep each publication visible

Review titles and sections separately. A portfolio summary should let you see the questions and pages behind each publication’s results.

03

Examine branded content separately

For a campaign, distinguish a link to the publisher’s article from a mention of the sponsor. Record those observations separately from campaign reach or sales.

Respect the choices behind your publishing business.

Our approach starts with the pages you choose to make public and the controls already in place. Proposed changes should respect subscriptions, registration, licensing and editorial policy. Review page access, article structure and source attribution together before deciding what to change.

Our point of view

Connect citation evidence to the wider value of your work.

We see an opportunity for AI-answer evidence to inform discussions about editorial investment, distribution and commercial partnerships. A citation shows a link in an answer. Traffic, influence and revenue need their own evidence.
