United Kingdom · Independent newsroom · Growth studio
The newsroom that ranks the companies it covers.
MagTimes is the daily read for operators shaping software, search, and the on-chain economy, and the desk that runs digital PR, SEO, and AI ranking to the same editorial standard.
From the newsroom
Written for operators, not optimisers.
SEO & Search
AI overviews and the slow death of the ten blue links
Search is becoming an answer. The companies that get cited will look different from the companies that used to rank.
Digital PR
Digital PR is not a guest post with better lighting
If the story would not stand up without a link at the end, it is not PR. It is inventory.
SaaS
The SaaS page sales will actually send
If your ranking URL embarrasses the account executive, you do not have an SEO win. You have a screenshot.
The studio
Campaigns run like reporting: sourced, reviewed, and named.
Authority
Digital PR
Tier-1 and specialist placements that build lasting brand authority, earned through stories, not inventory.
View deskSearch
Link Building
Links that survive algorithm updates because they sit on real, indexed, editorially reviewed pages.
View deskGrowth

Marketing sites, documentation, and content platforms engineered for Core Web Vitals and crawlability.

AI Tools & Answer Engines
Entity, source, and content work so AI products and search assistants name you as the answer.
View deskAI 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.
Name the entity
One company name, one category, one description, on the site, in schema, in profiles. If the model cannot tell you apart from a common noun, it will not cite you.
Write the quotable pages
Eight to twelve pages a model can lift without lying: definition, how it works, comparison, pricing, docs, original data with a date and a method.
Earn the retrieval graph
Mentions on publications and docs hubs that already get retrieved. Digital PR and guest editorial, not farms. The link is a receipt. The citation is the point.
Structure the crawl
Schema, FAQs, canonicals, internal links so Google and the answer engine see the same story. Thin listicles do not get quoted. Clear entities do.
Watch citations, not vanity rank
Monthly capture: AI Overviews, Perplexity cites, assistant mentions. Rank-1 under an overview you are absent from is a loss. We report presence.
Standards
We do not rewrite press releases. We do not run listicles for SEO.
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.
Selected work
Proof, not packages.
B2B SaaS · 2025
From a silent category to a library sales actually forwards.
A mid-market analytics company with a strong product and a blog nobody on the sales team would send. We rebuilt positioning, comparison pages, and a PR motion aimed at operators.

Ecommerce · 2025
A catalogue that could rank, not a blog taped to a shop.

How we work
Brief. Desk. Craft. Proof.
Brief
A free consultation. We map the product, the audience, the competitive set, and the outcomes that actually move the business.
Desk
The right editorial desk and campaign lead take ownership. You get a written plan, not a slide deck of promises.
Craft
Reporting, assets, outreach, and technical work run in parallel. Placements are earned through editorial review, not bought as inventory.
Proof
Transparent reporting: URLs, metrics, and what we would do next. No long-term lock-in. Stay because the work holds.
Independent journalist and growth operator covering AI, software, and the search industry. Built MagTimes as a newsroom that also ships real client outcomes.
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.
