What gets you named beyond your own site
Ai engines weigh what other sites say about you. Backlinks, brand mentions and reviews are the three levers, and each runs through different sources in IT and managed service providers.
Backlinks from partners, associations and local business press
Vendor directories, trade groups, chambers and client industries link to providers who share real expertise. We earn those, not buy them.
Brand mentions in directories and expert roundups
B2B directory profiles, security commentary and speaking mentions tell engines which clients and industries you serve.
Reviews from real clients
Reviews on Google and B2B sites feed the summary. We set up a request flow with your account managers and, from Standard, reply for you.

Questions, answered
Still deciding? Start with the free audit and we’ll show you where you stand.
Does Ai recommend IT providers?
Engines answer IT questions and surface providers, often drawing on directories, peer reviews and provider websites. Clear and verifiable information is what gets a provider shortlisted.
Should we publish pricing?
Explaining how pricing works, with ranges or models where you can, helps engines quote you and pre-qualifies buyers.
Do vertical pages help?
Yes, when each is genuinely specific. Buyers in healthcare, legal and other industries look for a provider who knows their rules.
What is the quickest win?
A clear services and pricing-model page, a complete Google profile and Clutch and Google reviews that mention specifics.
