What Every Programme Includes
A named senior lead
One senior owner runs your programme end to end, at every tier.
Attributable placements only
Confirmed, traceable coverage. No impressions, no vanity counts.
Monthly citation tracking
Your citation share across the four major assistants, refreshed every month.
A 60-day competitor lockout
We won’t take a direct competitor in your category for the quarter.
Editorial-grade coverage
Ideas pitched to real editors. No spun content, no directory links.
Clear, short terms
A short minimum term, then 30-day cancellation. No surprise fees, ever.
What Drives The Price
Pricing is simple and transparent. Three things decide where you land, and none of them is contract length.

Placement volume
The number of confirmed placements we target each month is the biggest driver. More coverage, earned consistently, moves the price.
Publication tier
Earning a DA 70+ premium placement takes more work than a mid-tier one. Higher tiers concentrate on the sources models weight most heavily.
Scope and coordination
Multi-brand, multi-region, and custom executive reporting add scope. Enterprise pricing reflects the coordination a portfolio needs.
Every tier runs on clear terms: a short minimum, then 30-day cancellation, with a 60-day competitor lockout. No surprise fees.
How much do brand mention services cost?
Pricing runs from $1,997 a month for the startup tier to $4,997 for the flagship programme, with enterprise priced custom. What you pay reflects placement volume and publication tier, not contract length.
What’s included at every tier?
Every tier includes a named senior strategist, attributable placements only, monthly citation tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, and a 60-day competitor lockout. Scope and publication tier scale with the price.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Yes, a short one. The startup tier runs on a 3-month minimum and the flagship tier on a 12-month engagement, because the citation curve compounds over time. After the minimum, every engagement moves to 30-day cancellation, and a 60-day competitor lockout keeps a direct rival out of your category.
Can I change tiers later?
Yes. Most clients start where their stage fits, then scale up as their citation share grows. You keep the same strategist and your tracking history when you move.
Do you guarantee a number of placements?
We commit to a placement range per tier and report every confirmed one. No editorial programme can promise specific outlets, but we’re transparent about exactly what lands.
Are there any setup or hidden fees?
No. The monthly retainer is the whole cost. There are no setup fees, no per-placement charges and no surprise add-ons. Onboarding is included in every tier.
Why is it a monthly retainer instead of per-placement?
Because AI citations compound. Earning coverage, letting the models re-crawl and re-weight it, and building on it month over month is what moves your citation share. A retainer funds the sustained, cumulative work that a one-off placement cannot deliver.
How does the cost compare to hiring in-house or a PR firm?
A senior in-house hire plus tools typically costs several times a Startup retainer once fully loaded, and a traditional PR firm optimises for reach rather than AI citations. Our pricing buys done-for-you work aimed specifically at being named in AI answers.
Do you offer a free trial?
No. What we do offer is a short strategy call before you commit to anything, so you can hear how the programme would run in your category and decide from there.
How long does onboarding take?
Onboarding runs 14 days on Startup, 21 days on Flagship, and 30 days on Enterprise, scaled to the coordination each tier needs. It is included at no extra cost, and pitching starts during onboarding itself, so the clock on your first placements is already running before it finishes.
