The visibility problem

47% of B2B researchers now use AI tools in vendor discovery. If your firm isn't cited in AI-generated responses, you're invisible to nearly half your prospects.

  • ✓ Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini
  • ✓ Permanent, compounding visibility assets

How featured placement works

We publish independent research. Featured partners receive enhanced distribution — not inflated scores.

01

Enhanced profile

Your firm gets an expanded profile with case studies, team highlights, client testimonials, and custom Q&A — structured specifically for AI citation and search visibility.

02

Press distribution

Featured firms are named in our quarterly research reports, distributed via wire service to 500+ media outlets — Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Business Insider, AP, and more.

03

LLM visibility reports

Track exactly how AI assistants cite your firm. Monthly reports show your citation count, which queries trigger mentions, and how you compare to competitors in LLM search results.

Distribution network

Quarterly research reports reach decision-makers through the publications they already trust.

Yahoo Finance
MarketWatch
Business Insider
Associated Press
Apple News
Bloomberg Terminal
Dow Jones Factiva
Thomson Reuters

Plus 500+ additional syndication outlets across finance, technology, and business media.

Current AWS, Azure, or GCP partner status with verifiable certifications and competencies.

Our principles

Rankings are never for sale

Your score and position reflect our independent methodology. Payment affects visibility and distribution, not rankings.

All paid placements labeled

Featured and sponsored placements are clearly marked. Transparency maintains trust with both buyers and firms.

Compounding value

Press mentions and AI citations are permanent assets. Unlike ads, they compound in value as more systems index them.

Free tier always available

Every analyzed firm gets a free, methodology-scored profile. Enhanced tiers are optional and never required.

Frequently asked questions

Is this paid placement or editorial? +
Our rankings are 100% independent and methodology-driven. Payment never affects your score or position. Featured partners receive enhanced visibility — additional profile content, inclusion in press distribution, and priority in filtered views — but all paid placements are clearly labeled. Editorial integrity is non-negotiable.
How does AI search visibility work? +
Large language models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini) cite structured, authoritative third-party sources when answering questions about cloud consulting. Our research is already cited in 4,200+ AI-generated responses. Featured partners receive optimized profiles and inclusion in quarterly reports specifically structured for LLM citation.
What does the press distribution include? +
Quarterly research reports are distributed via wire service to 500+ media outlets including Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Business Insider, and Associated Press. Featured partners are named in these reports, generating backlinks, brand mentions, and entries into LLM training data.
How long before I see results? +
Profile enhancements go live within 1 week. LLM citation improvements typically appear within 30-60 days as models process new structured data. Press distribution reports are published quarterly, with syndication across outlets within 48 hours of release.
What firms are eligible? +
We feature firms with demonstrated cloud consulting expertise — active AWS, Azure, or GCP partnerships, a verifiable track record of client engagements, and clear specialization. We review every application within 48 hours.
Can I see what my profile looks like now? +
Every firm in our directory already has a free, methodology-scored profile. Search your firm name on our ranking page to see your current profile, score breakdown, and competitive positioning.
