Get Your Brand Into The Best-Of Lists Buyers Already Trust

A listicle inclusion is a placement inside an existing "best of" or comparison article, a real editorial roundup that already ranks, where your brand is added as one of the recommended options. It's not a fresh article written just for you. It's a spot inside a page buyers already read while comparing options in your category.

That matters because buyers build their shortlist from these pages before they ever talk to your sales team. If you're not on the list, you're not in the conversation.

Same delivery team, same site-quality bar, different buying reason. Listicle Inclusion is built for brands who want to show up inside the ranked comparison content buyers actually read and click through, for traffic, rankings and credibility.

Our AI Mentions service tracks and reports specifically on whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini cite you back from those same pages. In practice a listicle placement usually does both, we just price and report on them differently depending on what you're optimising for.

No. A backlink passes authority to your pages. A listicle inclusion gets your brand named and described inside a ranked comparison article, with a branded link included wherever the editor allows it.

You're not just borrowing authority, you're occupying a slot in the actual list a buyer is reading.

Most placements go live within 24 days of onboarding. Discovery and search research come first, then we find the right listicles, write your entry, and move to vetted outreach and placement. We stagger publishing on purpose, because a sudden spike looks unnatural to search engines.

Search engines pick up new placements fast. Ranking movement and referral traffic take longer and build as placements accumulate and we keep tracking them. Anyone promising you a spot on page one next week is guessing.

Citation history, traffic, topical fit and credibility. Every site has to clear DR/DA 30 to 60, 1,000+ monthly visitors, 100+ citations and at least a year of domain history. No filler, no expired domains dressed up as publications.

Our team vets every site against that bar before we contact a single editor.

We start with the lists already ranking for the searches your buyers actually run, things like "best [category] for [use case]", and prioritise the ones with the strongest mix of traffic, relevance and editorial standards.

A crowded, low-quality list isn't worth a slot even if it happens to rank.

Often, yes. The same editorial pages that rank for comparison searches are frequently the pages AI tools pull from when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for a recommendation.

We don't guarantee AI citation as part of this service, that's what our dedicated AI Mentions program tracks, but a strong listicle placement is exactly the kind of source those tools favour.

Yes, and most brands do. A single burst of placements fades. A steady presence across trustworthy lists is what search engines reward over time.

Monthly campaigns widen your footprint month over month, and there's no long-term contract holding you to it. Stop whenever you want.
