Get mentioned in a published news article or press release

weeks to monthsImpact: criticalEffort: medium

A genuine mention in a published news article or press release is real, independent third-party coverage — distinct from anything self-published — that AI systems weight as a credible external source.

Independent press coverage carries more inherent credibility as a source than self-published content, and AI systems specifically favor citing independently-verified information.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Identify a genuine newsworthy angle
    A milestone, a timely trend, original data — something a journalist would find worth covering.
  2. 2
    Pitch relevant journalists or outlets directly
    A specific, tailored pitch, not a generic press release blast.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, distribute a genuine press release
    Through a real distribution service if you have real news to share.
