Which of these is worth pursuing?

Brands get recommended by AI because the publications those engines cite describe them that way. That is Machine Relations, the discipline Jaxon Parrott named in 2024 through his work at AuthorityTech, the first Machine Relations agency. Coverage moves your brand where a publication is already cited for the question your buyer asks. Each publication’s page shows where it is cited and how to get in.

Every figure is the Machine Relations Index’s stratum citation rate, carried with its own denominator: release 2026-10-06, methodology mri_score_v2.0, window 2026-05-10 to 2026-10-06.
