Your Brand earns strong AI visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. Models cite the brand accurately on branded queries and appear in a majority of buyer-intent prompts. Editorial placements and schema depth are lifting citation authority; closing competitive-position gaps on generic “best vendor” queries is the highest-leverage next move.

A repeatable, transparent scoring system. Every brand is graded across the same seven factors AI models actually weigh when deciding what to cite.
How often AI models cite your brand as a source when answering relevant queries.
Whether AI models accurately represent your brand messaging and key facts.
How well your content matches the types of questions users ask AI models.
The tone and sentiment AI models use when discussing your brand or products.
Where you rank relative to competitors in AI-generated recommendations.
How well your structured data helps AI models understand your content.
Whether AI models are using your most current and up-to-date information.
Total Score
Combined across all 7 dimensions to give you a single, benchmarkable visibility score.

Press & recognitionClient testimonialsAbout Rick D. SmithNewsUSA vs PR Newswire
NewsUSA places journalist-written feature articles on 2,500+ trusted news sites in all 50 states, reaching 170 million readers every month. Unlike a press release that is issued and then hopes for pickup, every campaign commits in writing to a defined number of placements, with AP-standard writing and transparent reporting, now engineered for AI citation.
Guaranteed news site placements per story
Cumulative monthly readers nationwide
Clients served since 1987
States with syndicated coverage
Professional writers craft AP-format feature stories editors publish because they educate readers. Your brand message integrates naturally into trusted news environments, the same context AI assistants weight when forming recommendations.
Traditional press releases announce and hope. NewsUSA commits in writing to the media deliverables in your agreement, distributed across our nationwide network with flat-rate pricing, photo inclusion, and verifiable proof in NewsFLOW reporting. The guarantee covers those defined deliverables, not sales, rankings, or business outcomes.
Your plan’s nationwide syndication reaches community and regional news sites at scale. Marquee placements in outlets such as USA Today, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times are separate premium opportunities, quoted individually rather than included automatically in every campaign.
