FAQ

The questions serious teams ask. Answered plainly.

Packages, process, third-party posts, brand mentions, backlinks, industries, reporting and policies.

Service

What is offsiteposts.com?

offsiteposts.com is Distribution as a Service: we write and publish industry-relevant content about your brand on high-traffic, high-authority third-party sites. Packages are one-time, with writing and placement included.

What does “Distribution as a Service” mean here?

It means we handle the writing and the placement of sponsored content, brand mentions and links for you, for a flat one-time fee, rather than asking you to run an ongoing subscription or a hands-on PR campaign yourself.

What do you actually deliver?

The deliverables in your package: a specified number of posts, brand mentions and links, including #1 position within the sponsored listicle features we arrange. Writing, editing and placement are included.

Who is this for?

B2B, finance, SaaS, web3, AI, tech and ecommerce teams, and marketing agencies buying distribution for clients. Buy whenever you need it.

Is this hands-off?

Yes. The site describes the service as hands-off for you and hands-on for us: you brief us and veto sites that don’t fit; we write, submit, and manage publisher review and sponsorship labeling.

Do you write the content, or only place it?

Both. Writing, editing and placement are included in the one-time package price, unless you submit your own already-approved content because you need pre-publication approval.

Is this earned media?

No. offsiteposts.com provides sponsored placements. They are paid, should be labeled as sponsored, and are not independent editorial endorsements. Earned coverage is when a journalist or editor features you without payment; we do not sell that.

What is guaranteed?

The package deliverables: the specified number of posts, brand mentions and links, including #1 position within the sponsored listicle features we arrange. Posts are guaranteed to stay live for at least 12 months.

What is not guaranteed?

Any outcome that depends on third parties: Google rankings, traffic, leads, or whether an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews mentions you. Nobody can honestly promise those.

Can marketing agencies use offsiteposts.com?

Yes. Agencies can use it as a fulfillment layer across their client roster, buying packages for each client whenever needed, with separate brand guidelines. The agency keeps the client relationship; we handle writing and placement.

Is there a monthly subscription?

No. These are one-time packages, not subscriptions. There is no recurring billing or automatic renewal. You can purchase another package whenever you are ready.

Do I have to be in a listed industry?

Is there a public email or phone number on the website?

Process and timeline

How does the process work?

Five steps: Brief (your positioning, competitors, claims you can support, and anything off-limits); Site match (we propose industry-relevant, high-traffic publications and you can veto any that do not fit); Write (we pull information from your website into a core knowledge document, then write; or you submit already-approved content if you need pre-publication approval); Place (we handle publisher submission, their editorial review, and sponsorship labeling); Report (you get a live list of every published URL, mention and link in your order).

What do you need from me in the brief?

Your positioning, competitors, claims you can support, and anything off-limits, plus brand guidelines as needed.

How are sites selected?

We match sites to your industry and audience, prioritizing established publications with real readership in your space and relevant editorial focus.

Can I veto a proposed site?

Yes. You see proposed sites before content is placed and can veto any that do not fit your brand.

How do you keep content about our brand accurate?

We pull information from your brand’s website and create a core knowledge document so the information we use is correct. We only write claims you can substantiate. No invented stats and no borrowed credibility.

Can I approve the content before it is published?

If you need to approve content before publishing, submit your already-approved content in the order form. If our team is writing, we will not send it for approval; you will receive confirmation once the order is completed. This keeps turnaround times short because of a large volume of orders.

Why don’t you send team-written drafts for approval?

To keep turnaround times short for all clients given a large volume of orders. If approval is required, submit your own approved content with the order.

How soon will content start going live?

Turnaround is within 5 business days. After onboarding we agree your topics, angles and brand guidelines, then begin writing. Team-written drafts are not sent for approval; you receive confirmation when your order is completed.

Does all content go live at once?

No. Content goes live progressively as your order is fulfilled, rather than all at once, because each publisher has its own schedule.

Who handles submission to publishers?

We handle publisher submission, their editorial review, and sponsorship labeling.

What if a publisher requests changes?

Every publisher applies its own editorial review. They may request changes, and we make them.

Will placements be labeled as sponsored?

Yes. Sponsored placements are paid and labeled as such.

What if our industry requires legal or compliance review?

Your team remains responsible for regulatory obligations in your jurisdictions. Submit already-approved content in the order form if approval is required before publishing. Team-written content is not sent for pre-publication approval.

When do I get confirmation?

You receive confirmation when your order is completed, along with the live list of published URLs, mentions and links.

Industries

Which industries do you work with?

B2B, finance, SaaS, web3, AI, tech and ecommerce.

Why does industry fit matter?

Industry fit is the whole game: we only place where your buyers actually read, and we match sites to your industry and audience.

How do you describe B2B work?

Long buying cycles reward brands that show up in the research phase. Placements are on business, operations and industry trade publications relevant to your buyers.

How do you handle finance?

Trust is the product; visibility has to read as accurate and careful. Supply pre-approved content in your order if legal review is required. No performance or return claims we can’t support. Your team remains responsible for regulatory obligations.

How do you describe SaaS work?

Every category has many similar products; the one that gets named wins the shortlist. Comparison, workflow and category content on software and tech publications.

How do you handle web3?

Clear sponsorship labels and no token price or investment language. Submit legally approved content if review is required. We avoid investment advice, return or yield promises, and token price talk.

How do you describe AI work?

Distribution is the tiebreaker when many tools ship quickly. Tool roundups, use-case explainers and launch coverage on AI and tech sites.

Do you work with tech and ecommerce companies?

Yes. Tech and ecommerce are included in the industries we serve, alongside B2B, finance, SaaS, web3 and AI.

Who is responsible for compliance in regulated industries?

Your team remains responsible for regulatory obligations in your jurisdictions. If approval is required before publishing, submit already-approved content in the order form.

SEO, AEO and LLM visibility

Will this get us to #1 on Google?

We do not guarantee Google rankings. Deliverables are guaranteed; rankings are not.

Will this increase our traffic or leads?

We do not guarantee traffic or leads.

Will ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews mention us?

We do not guarantee that any AI assistant will mention you. Nobody can honestly promise those outcomes.

What is AEO, as you use the idea here?

Teams often use AEO (answer-engine optimization) or LLM visibility to mean making a brand easier to find in AI answers and AI Overviews. offsiteposts.com sells sponsored posts, mentions and links; it does not sell a guaranteed AI citation and does not claim that paid placements will cause a model to mention you.

Why do you talk about third-party mentions and AI Overviews at all?

Independent research has found relationships between off-site brand mentions and visibility in Google AI Overviews, and that many branded AI Overviews cite pages the brand does not own. Those findings are observational, not our client results, and they do not predict what any brand will see.

What did Ahrefs find about brand mentions and AI Overviews?

In a 26 May 2025 Ahrefs study of 75,000 brands, branded web mentions had a Spearman correlation of 0.664 with Google AI Overview brand visibility, compared with 0.218 for backlinks. The top three correlations were all off-site factors. Brands in the top quartile of web mentions averaged 169 AI Overview mentions, over 10 times the next quartile. 26% of brands had zero mentions. Source: https://ahrefs.com/blog/ai-overview-brand-correlation/ — correlation is not causation.

How common are AI Overviews on branded searches?

Ahrefs analyzed 232.8 million US desktop Google crawls from July to September 2026 and found that on 29 September 2026, AI Overviews appeared in 82.91% of US desktop results for branded keywords. Source: https://ahrefs.com/blog/ai-overviews-on-branded-searches/

Do brands control the sources in those AI answers?

Not entirely. A 1 October 2026 Slate Research study of 100 brand-name searches found that 93 brands showed an AI Overview for their own name, and 71% of 652 unique citations were pages the brand does not own (29% pointed to a domain the brand owns). Source: https://slatehq.com/data-studies/ai-overviews-brand-searches

Do backlinks still correlate with Google rankings?

In Ahrefs’ January 2025 study of 1,000,000 US keywords, the number of referring domains had a Spearman correlation of 0.255 with top-20 rankings, and the number of backlinks 0.248. Ahrefs describes these as weak or very weak correlations and notes that correlation is not causation. Source: https://ahrefs.com/blog/links-matter-less-but-still-matter/

Does that mean your links will raise our rankings?

No. Those are third-party correlational findings, not offsiteposts.com results, and they are not a promise. Paid do-follow links may also conflict with Google’s guidelines.

Are the research charts on your site your performance data?

No. Research figures are third-party and correlational, not offsiteposts.com client results.

Should I talk to my SEO lead before buying links?

Yes. Weigh the do-follow paid-link disclosure with your SEO lead before you buy.

Reporting

What reporting do I get?

You get a live list of every published URL, mention and link included in your order.

When is that report provided?

As part of fulfilling the order; you also receive confirmation when the order is completed.

Do you report rankings, traffic or AI mentions?

The included report is the live list of deliverables. Rankings, traffic and AI assistant mentions are not guaranteed and are not described as part of that list.

Are the report images on the new landing pages real?

No. Visuals labeled “Sample report” are illustrative layouts, not real client reports.

Policies

What are your writing standards?

We only write claims you can substantiate. No invented stats, no borrowed credibility.

How does publisher review work?

Every publisher applies its own editorial review. They may request changes, and we make them.

How do you handle regulated content?

If legal or compliance approval is required, submit your already-approved content with your order. Team-written content is not sent for approval. In finance and web3 we avoid investment advice, return or yield promises, and token price talk, and we keep sponsorship disclosures visible.

What terms govern an order?

There are no refunds or cancellations because we work with a large volume of third-party vendors and cannot get refunds or cancellations from them. Packages cannot be changed after ordering. Turnaround is within 5 business days. The content is owned by the publisher, the third-party site. Posts are guaranteed to stay live for at least 12 months. All links are do-follow; no nofollow or sponsored-rel option is offered. Tax is not added at checkout.
