On the pages where
buyers compare agencies.
Two published inclusions from Bubblegum’s own programme. Each puts our service in front of people comparing relevant providers.

Best UK brand mentions agencies
A comparison for buyers looking for managed brand-mention support.
These are delivered mentions from our programme. No individual placement is credited with causing the visibility trend. Both inclusions were checked on 14 September 2026.
Is this a mention
worth earning?
- Relevant to a buying decision?Right question. Right audience.
- A pattern across answers?Check repeated samples.
- A credible editorial fit?Evidence the publisher could use.
- A realistic opportunity?A legitimate route to inclusion.
Linked or unlinked, the context matters. Publishers decide what they include. A placement alone does not prove or guarantee an AI recommendation.

Included in your fee.
Carried forward if delayed.
Your package includes a guaranteed minimum of 1, 2 or 4 relevant branded mentions per month. Any shortfall rolls into the following month, alongside that month’s allocation.
The guarantee applies to qualifying sources selected for relevance, editorial suitability and commercial viability. Specific publishers are not guaranteed. If a publisher requests an exceptional fee, we may recommend another qualifying source or quote the premium opportunity separately for your approval.
AI rankings and recommendations cannot be guaranteed.
Need more coverage?
Scale beyond Authority.
For more buyer questions, wider AI platform coverage or a higher guaranteed monthly volume of relevant branded mentions. Larger programmes are scoped around the coverage and delivery you need.
Discuss a bespoke programme ↗Not sure where to start? Ask our team which scope fits. You choose which AI platforms are included within your package allowance. Each selected buyer question is monitored across that chosen platform mix.
Website content creation, technical SEO and on-page optimisation have separate packages and pricing. Larger creative PR campaigns are also scoped separately.
What counts as a relevant branded mention?
Your business is named on a relevant third-party page, such as a specialist comparison, review or article. We assess topical relevance, audience, editorial suitability and commercial viability, with linked and unlinked mentions considered where useful. We agree the inclusion criteria with you before work starts. The guarantee applies to qualifying sources rather than specific publishers.
What can I see in the outreach reporting?
Your monthly reporting shows the sources identified, outreach progress, responses, secured mentions and live URLs, so you can see what is happening and what has been delivered. The underlying outreach workspace contains private publisher correspondence, negotiations, supplier pricing and internal commercial notes, so direct access to that workspace is not included.

AI SEO questions,
answered.
The practical details, before you decide.
How do AI SEO, SEO, AEO and GEO fit together?
SEO improves discovery through search. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) focuses on visibility within answers, while generative engine optimisation (GEO) focuses on generative search. Within AI search optimisation, our managed service covers off-site reputation and earned mentions.
A technically sound website and useful content still matter. Your existing SEO team can own that work while we handle the third-party reputation programme.
Does this include website content creation or traditional SEO?
Those are separate services with separate pricing. The packages on this page cover off-site reputation and brand mention building, supported by source research, outreach and reporting.
We can work alongside your current SEO team or provide a separate SEO and content engagement. Preparing outreach pitches and commentary from your expertise is part of the outreach workflow; creating your website pages or blog content is a different service.
How do you help us appear in ChatGPT and other AI platforms?
We review relevant answers and their third-party sources, find gaps in your brand’s presence and pursue credible editorial inclusion. Coverage can include ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot, depending on your package and chosen platform mix.
We commit to the relevant branded mentions included in your package, with any shortfall carried forward. AI platforms control their answers, so recommendations cannot be guaranteed.
What results should we realistically expect?
Your package guarantees a minimum number of relevant branded mentions. We track visibility on the agreed buyer questions and identifiable referral activity.
If mentions are delivered but visibility stays flat, we review the sources, context and buyer questions, then refine the next outreach priorities. We compare the same questions over time and record changes to the tracked set. The 90-day plan describes delivery, not a deadline for AI results.
How is this different from a wider Digital PR campaign?
This service starts with the buyer questions and third-party sources relevant to your AI visibility. We prioritise suitable comparisons, specialist articles, reviews and roundups, then make an editorial case for your inclusion.
A larger creative campaign, new research asset or broad press launch is a separate brief. Explore our Digital PR services.
Is this suitable for B2B, local and ecommerce brands?
Yes, where AI search plays a useful role in the buying journey. The priorities change: specialist comparisons for B2B, location and service evidence for local businesses, or product reviews and roundups for ecommerce. We start with your buyers and commercial goals.
What do you need from us to get started?
Your website, priority products or services, target market and competitors. We also need a contact who can approve pitches and provide expertise or evidence. Analytics access helps us report identifiable referral activity where available.
Can we see a starting snapshot before committing?
Yes. The free sourcesignal.ai Visibility Scorecard offers a starting view on up to three buyer questions. It is a limited snapshot, not a full audit or ongoing measurement programme. Run the free Scorecard.
