PR & PODCAST PLACEMENT

Get talked about in the places that actually count now.

A light, fast PR system built for how people and AI engines actually find out about you today: a release that gets indexed, a podcast booking that gets you talked about by someone else, and a bio that says the same good thing about you everywhere it appears.

THE SHIFT

PR used to mean waiting for a journalist to care

Traditional PR is slow, expensive, and built for an era when the only thing that mattered was getting a reporter to write about you. That world still exists, but it's not the fastest or most reliable way to get found anymore.

AI engines and search read differently. They read structured announcements, they read what other credible sites and podcasts say about you, and they read it consistently across a lot of small mentions rather than one big splash.

"The old PR question was 'did we get covered?' The new one is 'does ChatGPT know who we are and say something true and good about it?' Those aren't the same question, and most PR shops are still only answering the first one."

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The light PR package

The whole point is AI visibility first, traditional press coverage second.

01

A press release, built to be read by machines as well as people

Clean, structured, and written so an LLM can parse exactly what happened, who it happened to, and why it matters.

02

Shared across your social channels

The release doesn't just sit on a wire service.

03

Linked to a real announcement on your own site

A corresponding blog post or announcement page on your website.

CONNECTED

How it connects to everything else

A lot of what shows up on your social channels starts somewhere else entirely: research and content from the Content Factory, clips from your Video Production library. Automation pushes that content out consistently.

High-authority domains

A podcast episode gets published to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. Every one of those is a high-authority domain, and a mention or a link back to you from any of them is a genuinely strong backlink.

Someone else writes your bio

When a podcast publishes your episode, they write your bio. That description sits on Apple's domain, on Spotify's domain, on the show's own website, dozens of times over as you do more episodes. AI engines weigh third-party descriptions more heavily than anything you say about yourself.

"People assume podcasts are a vanity play. We think it might be the opposite. A single well-placed guest appearance can outperform months of your own content, because it comes from someone else's credibility, not yours."

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a PR-worthy announcement?

New products or services, a meaningful milestone, a partnership, a significant hire, or anything genuinely newsworthy.

Do you guarantee media coverage?

We're not building or hosting a show for you. We're getting you booked as a guest on established shows that already have an audience in your space.

How is a podcast placement different from running my own podcast?

We're not building or hosting a show for you. We're getting you booked as a guest on established shows that already have an audience in your space.

Will this actually help with AI visibility, or is that just marketing language?

It's the actual mechanism. AI engines weigh what third parties say about you more heavily than what you say about yourself. A podcast bio, written and published by someone else, on a high-authority domain, is exactly the kind of signal that builds AI-cited authority over time.

Does this replace ongoing content or social media work?

No, it complements it. The Content Factory and Social Media systems handle owned content and distribution.

PR doesn't have to mean waiting around for a journalist's attention

Done right, it's a fast, structured system that gets you indexed, gets you talked about by credible third parties, and builds consistent, positive positioning AI engines actually cite.
