Social proof

Get recommended where people actually ask

Before someone buys, they search for what other people picked. We put you in those conversations — the ones that rank, and the ones AI models quote.

Anyone found a trail shoe that lasts more than one season?

Second season on mine and the outsole is still fine — the difference is the rubber compound, not the tread depth. Worth checking their durability breakdown before you buy anything.

Delivered with the live thread URL so you can read the full context.

Why it works

Two audiences read the same thread

Your buyer, and the model your buyer is about to ask. Both weight community discussion heavily.

AI models read communities

When a model is asked to recommend a tool or a supplier, community discussion is disproportionately represented in what it cites. Being present there is how you get named.

These threads rank

Community pages routinely occupy the first page for “best X” and “X alternatives”. A placement puts you on a page that already ranks, without building a page of your own.

Buyers trust peers

A recommendation from someone with posting history reads differently from an ad. That is the entire mechanism, and it is why the account quality matters more than the volume.

It compounds

Threads keep receiving traffic for years. Unlike an ad, a placement does not stop working when you stop paying.

How it works

How a placement is built

  1. 1

    We find live demand

    We search the communities that rank for your category and pull threads where someone is currently asking for what you sell.

  2. 2

    An aged account answers

    Placements come from accounts with real posting history in the relevant community, not new profiles created for the purpose.

  3. 3

    The answer earns its place

    It addresses the specific question asked. A comment that reads as an advert gets removed by moderators and does you no good.

  4. 4

    You get the URL

    The exact thread link lands in your dashboard. You can read the whole conversation and see the placement in context.

Formats

Three shapes a placement can take

You pick, or we pick based on the thread we find. Mixed programmes look the most natural.

Comparison

Several people weigh your brand against the alternatives and land on yours for a specific, defensible reason. Works best on “X vs Y” intent.

Recommendation

A trusted member of the community answers a request with your brand as the suggestion. The highest-converting format, and the one AI models quote most.

Experience

Someone reports using you and what happened. Adds credibility on brand-name searches where people are checking whether you are legitimate.

What we will not do

The line we hold

We will not post fake customer reviews on review platforms, invent outcomes you cannot substantiate, or attack a competitor to make you look better. Those tactics get accounts banned, get threads deleted, and in several markets are straightforwardly illegal.

If a request crosses that line we will say so and propose the version that does not.

  • Recommendation in a discussion thread
  • Unlinked brand mention
  • Comparison naming your strengths
  • Fake review on a review platform
  • Invented results or fabricated case study
  • Negative comments about a competitor

FAQ

Social proof questions

Is this fake reviews?

No, and the distinction matters. We do not post reviews on review platforms, and we do not impersonate customers claiming outcomes they did not have. What we place is a recommendation in a discussion thread — the same thing an affiliate or a partner would post — from an account that participates in that community. If you want us to state a specific claim about results, we will only do it if you can substantiate it.

What is the difference between a backlink and a mention?

The backlink version includes a live dofollow link to your site and costs $19. The mention version names your brand without linking and costs $9. Unlinked mentions still feed entity recognition and AI citation, and they look more natural at volume, so most customers run a mix.

Which communities do you use?

It depends entirely on your category — the right thread for a B2B analytics tool is nowhere near the right thread for a roofing company. We select per order and you see the exact URL on delivery, so you can judge the quality yourself before ordering more.

What if the comment gets removed?

It happens; moderators are unpredictable. We re-check placements after delivery and replace anything removed within 60 days at no charge.

How fast does this affect AI answers?

Slower than rankings. Models re-index on their own schedule, and a single placement rarely moves anything. Customers who track it usually see mention rate shift over four to eight weeks with a sustained programme, which is why the reporting tracks it weekly rather than daily.
