AI search visibility starts with information—not a guarantee.
AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity are different experiences, with their own systems for finding and presenting information. No distribution vendor controls what they say about your brand.
Our part is concrete: write and place industry-relevant sponsored posts, brand mentions and do-follow links. The research provides context for off-site presence; it does not prove that these paid deliverables will produce an AI citation.
What Google actually says about AI search
Google Search Central says AI Overviews and AI Mode use existing Search systems and techniques, including query fan-out across related searches. A page must be indexed and eligible to appear in Search with a snippet to be eligible as a supporting link.
Google says there are no additional technical requirements or special AI-only markup needed for these features. Eligibility is not a promise of selection. Those statements concern Google’s features, not a technical specification for ChatGPT or Perplexity.

Give off-site readers useful context
A reader researching a category needs to understand the problem, the available approaches and where a product fits. Relevant third-party content can describe that context outside the brand’s own pages. Sponsored content should remain visibly sponsored.
Original third-party posts
Explain a use case or category topic with supportable facts. Writing, editing and placement are included.
Named brand references
A brand can be included in a relevant example or roundup. We count mentions once per published appearance.
Do-follow links
A defined number of links is part of the package, not a ranking tactic we claim is risk-free or a prerequisite for AI inclusion.
Do not confuse eligibility, correlation and causation
A page being eligible for a Google feature is not evidence that it will be cited. A correlation between brand mentions and visibility does not show that one paid placement causes a new answer to include the brand.
The right way to read the studies is as observations about the web and particular search experiences. We do not use them to forecast your traffic, place an expected AI-growth percentage on a package or invent client performance data.
From your brief to a live list of deliverables
Brief us on your positioning, audience, competitors, supportable claims and off-limits topics. We match sites to your industry and the places your buyers read. You can veto a proposed site that does not fit.
We build a core knowledge document from your brand’s website, then write and edit the content. If legal or internal approval is required, submit your already-approved content in the order form. Team-written drafts are not sent for pre-publication approval.
We manage publisher submission, editorial review and sponsorship labeling. Turnaround is within 5 business days. Reporting is a live list of the published URLs, mentions and links in your order—not a promise of traffic, rankings or AI citations.
Keep the commercial and search limits visible
We guarantee the stated package deliverables, including arranged #1 sponsored listicle features. Posts are guaranteed to stay live for at least 12 months. We do not guarantee indexing, search rankings, traffic, leads or assistant mentions.
All links are do-follow. No nofollow or sponsored-rel option is offered. Google treats paid links that pass ranking credit as link spam and recommends rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" for paid links. Our paid do-follow links can therefore conflict with Google’s guidelines. We do not claim blanket compliance or guarantee rankings. Discuss the risk with your SEO lead before buying.
Google’s paid-link guidance
The official disclosure is relevant even when the objective is broader AI-search visibility.
Read the primary sources
In Ahrefs’ 75,000-brand study, branded web mentions correlated 0.664 with Google AI Overview visibility, versus 0.218 for backlinks. Ahrefs also studied AI Overviews on branded searches; Slate Research examined brand-search answers and their citations.
Google’s AI features documentation describes existing Search systems, query fan-out and page eligibility. None of these sources is evidence that offsiteposts.com generated a particular AI result for a client.
These are third-party, observational findings, not offsiteposts.com client results. Correlation is not causation. They do not predict what any brand will see, and other AI engines may weigh signals differently. Rankings, traffic, leads and AI assistant mentions are not guaranteed.
Questions, answered plainly
Is special AI-only schema required for Google AI Overviews or AI Mode?
Google says no special AI-only markup or additional technical requirements are needed. Pages must be indexed and eligible for Search snippets. That eligibility does not guarantee selection.
Does query fan-out mean every relevant page will be cited?
No. Query fan-out describes how Google may search related topics. It is not a guarantee that any particular page or brand will appear.
Does this guarantee Perplexity, ChatGPT or Google AI mentions?
No. We do not guarantee assistant mentions or claim that paid placements will cause a model to cite a brand.
What does offsiteposts.com report?
The included report is a live list of published URLs, mentions and links, not a guaranteed search-visibility or AI-citation outcome.
