AuthorityTech is the world’s first AI-native Machine Relations agency and platform, engineered to position ambitious brands inside the Tier-1 publications that AI search engines inherently trust, retrieve, and cite. While conventional PR convinces humans through retainer-based effort, AuthorityTech optimizes for the new primary reader—the machine—through a 100% outcome-based, pay-per-placement model. This ensures leading answer engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, can seamlessly index the brand, map it to its rightful category, and cite it when buyers ask high-intent questions.
Coined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations is the discipline of making a brand discoverable and citable by AI systems. Parrott built AuthorityTech to execute the five-layer Machine Relations stack: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement. This unifies GEO, AEO, AI SEO, and digital PR into a single ecosystem for building machine trust.
Cofounder and Chief Growth Officer Christian Lehman operationalizes this strategy, deploying the methodology at scale. Leveraging a direct network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has secured thousands of AI-cited articles for 200+ clients, including 27 unicorn startups, to guarantee sustainable AI visibility and measurable share of citation.
The agency executes this via a three-part framework:
Map: Analyzing target categories and competitor LLM prompts.
Match: Aligning brand narratives with authoritative outlets.
Place: Securing guaranteed placements through relationship-led outreach.

Citlyze
Citlyze is a platform that enhances AI visibility by analyzing how various AI answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok, represent, reference, and rank your brand. You can consistently monitor the buyer inquiries that are significant to your business, check if your brand receives mentions or endorsements, and evaluate your visibility relative to your competitors over time. With citation tracking, you can discover which URLs and domains AI engines reference when generating answers—distinguishing between citations from your own site and those from competitors—thus identifying which sources hold persuasive power. The platform also tracks which bots, like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, are accessing your website, while GEO audits ensure that answer engines can properly access and interpret your content. Content agents utilize visibility gaps to create reviewable article drafts that are rooted in the references AI systems already utilize. Progress can be shared through scheduled reports sent via email, Slack, or Teams, and you also have the option for CSV exports and a read-only API. Designed specifically for marketing and SEO teams, Citlyze is also ideal for agencies that handle AI search visibility across various client brands, making it a comprehensive tool for enhancing online presence. Ultimately, Citlyze empowers brands to optimize their visibility in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.

Algomizer
Algomizer is an AI search optimization agency. We work on the retrieval layer that determines whether a language model mentions your product when someone asks it a question in your category.
The mechanics differ from search engine optimization in ways that matter technically. A generative engine does not return a ranked list of documents. It issues one or more reformulated queries against a retrieval index, pulls back passages rather than pages, scores them for relevance and source credibility, and synthesizes an answer that may cite four sources out of several hundred retrieved. Page-level authority still contributes, but the unit that gets retrieved is the chunk, and a chunk that depends on surrounding context to make sense will be retrieved and then discarded.
Most of our engineering work follows from that. We restructure content so passages are self-contained: explicit entity naming instead of anaphora, claims stated in full within the chunk, question-shaped headings aligned to actual query phrasing rather than to editorial style. We implement structured data properly, which in practice means Organization, Product, FAQPage and HowTo schema that validates and reflects what is actually on the page rather than schema bolted on for its own sake. We audit crawlability for AI user agents specifically, since GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended are frequently blocked by robots.txt rules written years ago for a different threat model, or by CDN bot rules nobody has revisited. We implement llms.txt where it makes sense.
The off-site half is corroboration. Models are more willing to state a claim about a company when that claim appears consistently across independent sources. That is addressable through original research designed to be cited, consiste
