Start with the objective. Be honest about the deliverable.
Teams come to distribution with different aims: being part of a category discussion, getting named in a roundup or building an off-site presence as search changes. Those aims are not the same thing as guaranteed outcomes.
Our service stays concrete across every use case: sponsored third-party posts, named brand mentions and do-follow links, with writing and placement included in one-time packages.
Explore the use cases
These guides explain what the service can deliver, what the research says and where the limits sit. None promises a search ranking or an AI citation.
Get mentioned in ChatGPT
You can control the facts you publish and buy a defined set of distribution deliverables. You cannot buy a promise that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or any other assistant will recommend your company.
AI search visibility
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.
Get featured in listicles
A listicle placement is a spot for your brand in a 'best X' or 'top X' article on a third-party site. #1 position within sponsored listicle features Offsite Posts arranges is a guaranteed deliverable. Features are paid and labeled, not independent editorial picks.
Link building for startups
A startup can buy a defined set of posts, brand mentions and links without starting a subscription. You know the package counts and the one-time price before ordering.
Buying AI search citations
Nobody can sell a guaranteed citation inside ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews. The assistant decides which sources to show. Offsite Posts does not sell guaranteed citations or claim that a paid placement will cause an assistant to name you.
Choose the right question before choosing the format
If your question is about AI answers, separate information you can publish from answers a platform controls. If it is about listicles, separate paid position from earned editorial judgment. If it is about links, understand the policy risk before treating a link count as an SEO result.
A clear brief makes the article and site match more useful. Describe your audience, product facts, intended use cases, competitors and off-limits claims. We do not fill gaps with invented customer evidence.
What stays consistent across solutions
Writing, editing and placement are included. We propose sites matched to the buyer and industry, and clients can veto a poor fit. Reporting is a live list of published URLs, mentions and links.
Turnaround is within 5 business days. Posts are guaranteed to stay live for at least 12 months. Content belongs to the publisher. Sponsored placements are paid and labeled; they are not independent editorial endorsements.
Third-Party Posts
Original articles with writing, editing and placement included.
Brand Mentions
Named references counted once per published appearance.
Backlinks
All links are do-follow. Read the Google paid-link disclosure.
Do not hide the link disclosure
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 Search Central: paid links
The policy applies even if the broader objective is brand or AI visibility.
What the research says—and what it does not
Ahrefs studied 75,000 brands and found that branded web mentions had a Spearman correlation of 0.664 with Google AI Overview visibility, compared with 0.218 for backlinks. That relationship is not proof that a paid placement causes an AI answer to name a brand.
Ahrefs’ separate research examines AI Overviews on branded searches. Slate Research examines branded AI Overviews and the role of sources outside a brand’s own website. Neither study establishes that buying a sponsored placement causes an AI system to mention a brand.
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
Do the solutions guarantee different outcomes?
No. They explain different use cases for the same sponsored distribution deliverables. Rankings, traffic, leads and AI assistant mentions are not guaranteed.
