We help you show up in trusted third-party listicles so when buyers (and LLMs) ask “best tools for X,” your brand is part of the answer.
We focus on high-authority "best X for Y" articles that match your ICP's search behavior, targeting lists that already rank high and get cited in AI.
Listicles live for years and get referenced across search and AI. We ensure your brand gets a full feature with context, use cases, and differentiators, so you don’t get misrepresented, undersold, or boxed into the wrong use case.
Outreach, follow-ups, revisions, updates, and corrections—we handle it all. You don’t need to chase editors or fix outdated descriptions months later.
Many listicles exist only to sell placements. We filter these out and focus on lists that buyers actually trust and reference during evaluation.
A skilled digital PR specialist who can secure quality placements costs $60–75K annually. Add a content strategist and you're well over six figures.
Reputable listicle publishers don’t accept cold pitches easily. Building trusted relationships with editors and publishers takes 6–12 months before you see your name on a listicle.
Monitoring AI citations, tracking listicle performance, and managing outreach requires specialized tools. Expect to pay $1,000+/mo for a proper stack.
We'll set up your customer portal, and schedule a kickoff call to understand your positioning and competitive landscape.
We audit existing listicles in your space, prioritize those already cited by AI models, and map target publications based on authority, relevance, and buyer intent.
We reach out to editors and publishers and pitch your brand with compelling angles, data, and editorial value that earns you a featured spot.
We write a compelling copy for your feature, including a short product overview, use cases, and key differentiators, so your product is more than just a name on the list.
We track your brand's appearance in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, showing you exactly how listicle placements drive AI visibility.
You'll get monthly insights on new placements secured, referral traffic driven, AI citation frequency, and how listicle visibility supported conversions.
We can confidently say about 30% of our pipeline comes from SEO & AEO. We also got over 300K in pipeline from SEO for no additional work and it is compounding month over month.
"We can confidently say about 30% of our pipeline comes from SEO & AEO, which wasn't the fact at all. In the last month, we got over 300K in pipeline from SEO for no additional work, which is crazy. It is compounding month over month. And I'm sure it's going to grow even further."
"We're the highest-cited domain and often rank #1 for comparison queries. We also generated over 4,000 referral visits from AI search."
"We've had a significant increase in AI search traffic and we already knew this was converting well. When we run tests on specific LLMs, we see SEO articles and Reddit threads that you guys worked on being referenced and pulled up in the chat."
”Scalerrs were really early on LLM search, and that was one of the reasons we wanted to work with them. People self-attributing that they heard about us on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude has doubled since we brought them on.”
"Most SEO agencies aren't even thinking about changing for AI search. They're more scared of it. You guys have done a really good job not just doing the work so we come up in AI search engines, but also showing us why we should be doing the work."
"As we started engaging with Scalerrs, we really saw our inbound channel, both in the amount of visits and more importantly the amount of leads and the quality of those leads, go up."
"In the last 6 months, we’re seeing a lot of referrals coming from organic AI search. I think we forget sometimes that you are an agency because you feel very much a part and extension of our team."
“Keywords in position 1-3 have grown from ~100 to 600 in 18 months. We've seen significant traffic growth (3-5x) and more qualified leads from SEO than we were seeing previously. We're very pleased with these results... Scalerrs are also very revenue-oriented compared to other agencies I've come across.”

It depends on the publication and their editorial calendar. For existing listicles that get updated regularly, we can secure placements in 4-8 weeks. For new listicles or annual roundups, it may take 1-3 months.
We can't guarantee specific publications because editorial decisions are ultimately up to the publisher. However, we leverage established relationships with editors at major platforms and industry blogs to significantly increase your chances.
We monitor all placements and manage ongoing relationships with publishers. If your brand is misrepresented or outdated information appears, we reach out to editors for corrections or updates.
We track multiple metrics: number of placements secured, domain authority of publications, referral traffic driven, AI citation frequency (appearances in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), keyword rankings, and ultimately, pipeline influence.
High-quality listicles get updated regularly, and sometimes brands are rotated out. We monitor all your placements and when updates happen, we re-pitch your inclusion with fresh data, new differentiators, or updated positioning.
While this service focuses specifically on third-party listicles ("best of," comparisons, alternatives pages), we also offer Reddit SEO, YouTube SEO, and link building services. Many clients combine listicle placements with these channels for comprehensive AEO/SEO coverage. If you need a broader strategy, we can discuss a multi-channel approach.
