The Standard a Partner Should Meet Before Pitching
That's the standard we think agency partners should meet before pitching you: show the test, show the failure rate, show the null result — not just the wins.
The Three Engines Do Not Fail the Same Way
Two things worth knowing before you sign a white-label Reddit contract. First, the three engines don't fail the same way. Each one misidentified our company as a different entity — one engine matched us to companies sharing our name (one US-based, one an outbound-lead-gen shop), another matched us to what it called an Indian outsourcing agency. A partner who tells you "AI search treats every brand the same" hasn't actually run the comparison.
Where the Citations Actually Come From
Second, on citation sources: across our English-language question set, the Reddit ecosystem accounted for roughly 46 of the citation instances — the single largest source — with LinkedIn as the second most-cited domain. But engines vary sharply in how much they cite at all: one of the three engines returned only 21 citations total across all 32 questions, versus hundreds from another. "We post on Reddit" and "we get cited by AI engines" are not the same claim, and a partner should be able to show you which one they're actually measuring.
How We Staff It and What We Refuse to Promise
We run this work with a real, disclosed account matrix rather than a headcount promise, and we don't quote rankings or response-time guarantees — because the data above is the reason we don't believe anyone honestly can.
