Citation Outreach for AI Search Visibility

Citation outreach is the process of getting your brand added to the specific pages AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI, Perplexity and others cite when answering buyer questions. Instead of chasing rankings, you earn brand placements inside the sources AI already trusts. CrowdReply finds those pages for your tracked prompts and runs the outreach for you.

Link building targets domain authority to improve Google rankings. Citation outreach targets the exact pages LLMs cite in their answers, which may or may not have high authority scores. Prioritization is based on how often a page appears as a citation for your prompts, not on DA/DR.

Listicles, comparison pages, review aggregators, and authoritative industry articles dominate AI citations for commercial queries. A page sitting on page two of Google can still be a top LLM citation. CrowdReply surfaces the real citation data for your prompts, so you target what the models actually read.

Your tracked prompts run daily across every major AI model, and every cited page is captured and aggregated. Each article appears in your opportunities table with its citation count, the prompts it covers, and traffic. New placement opportunities roll in daily as citation patterns shift.

No. CrowdReply handles contact discovery, pitching, and negotiation entirely on our side, so nothing connects to your inbox and there are no sequences to maintain. You review the placements we secure and approve the ones you want.

Only when the mention actually publishes. Every paid offer shows the content and fee upfront, and the fee is reserved from your campaign budget when you approve it. If a placement never goes live, you are never charged for it.

Outreach begins within days of launching a campaign, and first placements typically land within the first two weeks. Editorial calendars vary by site, so responses continue rolling in over the following weeks. Your campaign funnel shows exactly where every target stands at any moment.

Usually because the sources ChatGPT trusts for your category do not mention you yet. AI models lean heavily on third party pages like roundups and comparison articles, so when competitors own those placements, they own the answers. Citation outreach closes that gap by getting you into the pages the models already cite.
