AI Rank Method

How we get you named in AI search.

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini — they do not rank ten blue links. They retrieve a source and quote it. This is the method. Not a plugin. Not a package.

01

Name the entity

Make sure the entity, the schema, and the description match across the site and the wider graph.

02

Write the quotable pages

Definitions, stats, and original data on pages a model would rather quote than invent.

03

Earn the retrieval graph

Mentions and citations on properties that already feed the engines.

04

Structure the crawl

Schema, internal links, and a crawl path that makes the answer obvious.

05

Watch citations, not rank

Track AI overview presence and named citations, not vanity rank under a box.

Standards

Four principles we will not negotiate.

Sourced and reviewed

Every claim is traceable to a primary source or a named contact. We do not publish what we cannot stand behind.

No undisclosed conflicts

If we cover a company we have a commercial relationship with, we say so. Independence is a practice, not a slogan.

Corrections are visible

Mistakes get acknowledged, dated, and fixed. We do not bury edits or quietly rewrite the record.

Original reporting

We commission, not aggregate. No press-release rewrites, no competitor paraphrases, no listicles for SEO.

How we work

A clear path from brief to proof.

01

Brief

A free consultation. We map the product, the audience, the competitive set, and the outcomes that actually move the business.

02

Desk

The right editorial desk and campaign lead take ownership. You get a written plan, not a slide deck of promises.

03

Craft

Reporting, assets, outreach, and technical work run in parallel. Placements are earned through editorial review, not bought as inventory.

04

Proof

Transparent reporting: URLs, metrics, and what we would do next. No long-term lock-in. Stay because the work holds.

Meet the team

Built by operators, not agencies

MagTimes was founded as an independent newsroom first. The growth services exist because the same people who publish rigorous reporting also know how to move rankings, earn coverage, and ship high-converting websites.

Editorial Focus

Foundation models, agent frameworks, enterprise software, search economics.

Client Work

Software, SaaS, AI, fintech, crypto/Web3 — never health, gambling or adult.

How We Work

Discovery → Strategy → Execution → Transparent reporting. No long-term lock-ins.

Response Promise

Every inquiry gets a real human response within 24 hours.
