The shift
The Old Playbooks Are Dying
AI can replicate your product in weeks.
Product advantage still matters. It just stops being enough when competitors can copy features quickly. The durable signal is what trusted sources say about you.

Why 3rd party media is the key to driving AI citations
Machine Relations turns earned media into source material AI systems can cite.
AI engines can read your website, but they trust independent sources more.
Muck Rack's 2026 Generative Pulse found that sources brands neither own nor pay for make up 84% of cited links, with journalism alone at 27%, while paid and advertorial content accounts for just 0.3%.

How it works
From strategy call to published source
You set the category direction. AuthorityTech handles the placement work, from brief to publication.
01
Define your narrative
One strategy call maps the category you need to own, the prompts where competitors appear, and the narrative worth placing in credible publications.
02
We match the press
We match that narrative to publications in our 1,673+ outlet network. Outreach is relationship-led, not cold-pitch volume.
03
You pick, we make it happen
You choose the placement path before work starts. Payment stays in escrow until the placement goes live.
04
Published & AI-optimized
We shape the angle before publication so the final coverage is clear to readers, consistent for crawlers, and useful as AI source material.

Our story
Built because the old model failed us too
After years inside the PR industry, we confirmed what we saw on day one: the model is broken. Agencies charge retainers for effort—not outcomes. They cold-pitch into the void; you pay regardless.
So we spent 8 years building what the industry wouldn't: a direct network of 1,673+ publications and nurtured journalist relationships. AuthorityTech was built from first principles: value-based securement fees, warm-only outreach, and guaranteed placements held in escrow. No retainers. No cold pitches. You only pay when you're published.
