01

Offer & eligibility

Is this a fit?

What is AI Mention Press?

AI Mention Press is a specialist authority-publishing and outreach service. It combines a professional public-information audit and recommendations with personalized manual outreach to relevant independent sources, then checks for the defined Google AI result.

Is this an SEO agency or backlink package?

No. The audit can identify website, Google Business Profile, and local-search improvements, and the work may have secondary traditional-search benefits. But we do not sell monthly SEO, promise traditional rankings, or package links by quantity.

Can this help my Google Maps or Map Pack visibility?

Potentially. The audit can identify improvements to your Google Business Profile, website, service-area signals, citations, and review profile, while the authority campaign may strengthen the public information and prominence surrounding your business. These signals can support local visibility, but Google also considers distance, competition, and other factors outside our control. We do not guarantee a Maps or Map Pack position, and a map listing does not complete the Google AI guarantee.

How much does it cost?

$299 USD one time for one business, one primary category, and one defined city or neighbourhood service area. There is no recurring fee and no hidden placement charge.

How long is the campaign?

Up to seven months. It completes early when a qualifying Google AI result is documented.

Do you verify or certify my business?

No. We assess campaign fit and act on the business information you supply. AI Mention Press is not a business-validation or certification service.

How does exclusivity work?

We work with only one business per category and service area during each campaign. Availability is checked manually before acceptance.

What if I have multiple locations?

Each purchase covers one defined location or service area. A separate location requires a separate campaign.

02

Audit & responsibilities

What do we each do?

What does the audit cover?

Where applicable, it reviews business information consistency; services, categories, and area; crawlability and mobile performance; page details; service and location pages; LocalBusiness schema; review profile; Google Business Profile details; competitors; source gaps; and baseline AI visibility.

When do I receive the audit?

Within 14 days after the campaign starts.

Do you implement the recommendations?

No. You receive the audit and prioritized recommendations. You or your chosen provider implements them. We do not offer an implementation add-on.

Do you need access to my website or Google account?

No private website or Google account access is required for the initial audit.

Do I need a website?

Not always. A business without a website may still be accepted. We may recommend creating one, but AI Mention Press does not build websites.

Do I need a Google Business Profile?

If you do not have one, the $299 service includes instructions to create and configure it. You complete owner verification. The campaign begins after the profile is created and verified.

How much customer time is required?

Initial setup should take about five minutes. Implementing audit recommendations requires additional time depending on their scope.

03

Authority outreach

What can the campaign pursue?

What is authority outreach?

It is research and personalized manual outreach to relevant local, community, organizational, industry, guide, resource, sponsorship, citation, and expert-contribution opportunities. It is the core premium service.

Do you already know publishers?

AI Mention Press uses both its existing publisher network and new campaign-specific research. That does not guarantee that any publisher will accept or publish a mention.

What outcomes can outreach produce?

Potential outcomes include mentions, recommendations, citations, listings, coverage, expert quotes, and links where appropriate.

How many contacts, placements, or links do I get?

No minimum number is promised. The campaign is based on relevance to the market, location, and audit—not an arbitrary quantity package.

Are publisher placements guaranteed?

No. Publishers and organizations control whether they respond, accept, edit, or publish. Their independence is not hidden.

Could I receive an extra placement bill?

No. Relevant placement or sponsorship costs selected by AI Mention Press are included. There are no additional placement fees or hidden charges.

Will I see every outreach target and email?

No. You receive a documented summary, not every target or private communication.

04

Google AI guarantee

What exactly is protected?

What exactly is guaranteed?

The guaranteed outcome is that the business appears by name in a Google AI Overview or Google AI-generated answer for a relevant, non-branded, local-intent query matching its real service and city or neighbourhood—or the customer can request the complete $299 back after final review.

Is the guarantee for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude?

No. The public guarantee is Google-only. Mentions often overlap across Google AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI platforms, so visibility in one may coincide with visibility in others.

Does the mention have to be linked?

No. An unlinked business mention in the qualifying Google AI answer counts.

Does appearing as a cited source count?

Not by itself. The business must appear by name in the AI answer. Appearing only in the source list does not qualify.

Does a publisher mention count as success?

Not unless a qualifying Google AI answer is also documented. Without the qualifying answer, the refund remains available under the terms.

Do I select or approve a guaranteed keyword?

No. Baseline queries are tested before work begins, but they are not published or formally agreed with the customer. No fixed number of benchmark queries is promised.

What kinds of queries may be checked?

Query families can include best or top-rated, near-me, who-to-hire, recommended-provider, urgent-service, and problem-led searches. A qualifying query must still be relevant, non-branded, local-intent, and match the real service and place.

How do you check and document results?

Checks use a neutral, logged-out browser and a location matching the real service area. A qualifying result is documented with dated screenshots and a report.

What happens when a qualifying result appears?

The campaign is complete and remaining outreach stops.

What happens if no qualifying result appears?

If no qualifying result is documented by final review, you can request a complete $299 refund with no deductions. After approval, AI Mention Press initiates it promptly; bank or payment-processor timing may vary.

Availability & support

What happens next?

What happens after I submit the form?

Is there a sales call?

No. Sales and support are email-based. Support replies within one business day.

Does the availability form take payment?

No. It is a request for manual review, not checkout or campaign acceptance.
