## What is PR & Press?

**PR & Press** is AI Syndicate's earned-media pipeline aimed at AI search. Every AI answer about a market leans on a handful of outlets — coverage there becomes the answer; coverage anywhere else becomes a clipping. PR & Press catches the coverage happening on your beat right now, flags the outlets AI engines already cite about your space (**measured from your own scan**), surfaces the journalist behind any article with a verified business contact, drafts the pitch, and tracks every placement across a four-stage board — with the AI citations each placement earned counted at the end.

## What you get

1. **A radar on your beat** — live articles about your space as they publish, from live news indexes — never a fake opportunity feed. Caite reads your site and tunes the beat to what you do; it's never just your company name.
2. **Cited-by-AI targeting** — outlets whose pages already show up in real AI answers about your space get the badge and rank first. Hot outlets covering your beat repeatedly surface on top.
3. **The journalist, found** — one click on any article surfaces the byline and a verified business contact: work email and LinkedIn profile. Business contacts only; personal emails are never touched.
4. **The pitch, written** — a complete sendable email: subject, greeting by name, a hook on the piece they just wrote, your angle, and proof bullets with [bracketed placeholders you fill]. Never invented credentials. Doubles as LinkedIn message copy.
5. **The outreach board** — Watching → Pitched → Confirmed → Published, drag-and-drop with outlet favicons. Moving a card to Published requires the live placement URL — no link, no trophy.
6. **Citations, counted** — every published placement is checked against your AI source scan: did AI answers start citing that page about you? Measured, never projected.

## With receipts

- **AI-cited outlets first.** The badge comes from your own scan of real AI answers — not a directory score or "domain authority."
- **One journalist, one pitch.** Found from the article itself, contacted at their work address, pitched about the piece they actually wrote — sent from your own email. No mass blasts.
- **Placeholders, not fabrications.** Proof points are [brackets you fill]; a pitch that invents credentials would burn the relationship.
- **Published means the URL.** And the citations each placement earns are counted from measurement — an honest zero beats a flattering estimate.
- **Live coverage, honestly labeled.** The radar is real coverage from live news indexes; when a scan is stale or empty it says so instead of inventing momentum.

## How it works

1. **Scan** — point the radar at your beat, or let Caite pick it from your site. Live articles land with the outlets AI already cites badged and ranked first.
2. **Target** — pick an article worth answering. One click surfaces the journalist's byline and verified business contact — work email and LinkedIn profile.
3. **Pitch** — a complete email is drafted for that journalist about their piece — your angle, proof-point placeholders you fill, never invented credentials. Send from your own address.
4. **Prove** — track the card from Watching to Published (live URL required) and see the AI citations each placement actually earned, measured from your own scan.

## PR & Press vs. media databases

- **Media databases and PR suites** rank outlets by reach and domain authority, sell contacts scraped years ago, blast one template to two hundred inboxes, and report clippings and impressions nobody can verify.
- **PR & Press** ranks outlets by what AI engines actually cite about your space, catches coverage as it happens, finds the journalist from the article itself with a verified work contact, drafts a personal pitch you send yourself, and proves whether each placement turned into AI citations.

## FAQ

**What is PR & Press?** The earned-media pipeline aimed at AI search: live coverage radar, cited-by-AI outlet targeting, one-click journalist contacts, drafted pitches, and a four-stage board with counted citations.

**What does the coverage radar show?** Real articles publishing on your beat right now, from live news indexes — not a stale database or fake feed. Type your beat or let Caite pick it from your site; never just your company name.

**What does "Cited by AI" mean?** The outlet's pages already appear as sources in real AI answers about your space — measured from your own workspace's scan, not a generic authority score.

**How does finding the journalist work?** One click surfaces the article's byline and the journalist's verified business contact — work email and LinkedIn profile. Business contacts only, never personal emails.

**Does it write the pitch?** Yes — a complete sendable email personalized to the journalist and their piece, with [bracketed placeholders] for your proof points. It never invents credentials. Send it from your own email app.

**What are the pipeline stages?** Watching, Pitched, Confirmed, Published — drag-and-drop. Published requires the live placement URL.

**What happens after publication?** The placement is checked against your AI source scan and the citations it earned are counted — measured, never estimated.

**Do you send emails for me?** No. Pitches send from your own address, one journalist at a time. No mass blasts.

**Which plans?** Territory and up.

**Versus a media database?** Databases sell stale contacts ranked by reach. PR & Press ranks by what AI actually cites, works from live coverage, and proves the outcome in citations.
