Three sponsored article formats
built to be cited by AI.
SEO no longer stops at the ten blue links. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite their sources. The question is no longer how to rank — it's how to be in the sources they retain.

Same backend, three editorial angles tuned to what LLMs actually cite.
Articles written in-house by our team and published on the media we own. Each format targets a different citation mechanic.
"Best X" listicles
A "Best X 2026" article published on one of our owned media, your brand placed at the top of the ranking with competitors listed transparently.
44% of ChatGPT citations come from "Best X" listicles (Ahrefs study, 26,000 URLs analyzed).
See the formatQuery fan-out pages
A 3,000+ word hub article that covers 12 to 16 sub-questions of a single intent. Your brand mentioned as a source of expertise in the relevant section.
Google AI Mode breaks every query into 16 parallel sub-searches. A single page can serve all the facets at once.
See the formatBrand mentions
An editorial article where your brand is cited as a source of expertise, not as the subject. Study, op-ed, analysis: the format where the mention actually carries weight.
LLMs weight repeated brand + topic co-occurrence on trusted media, link or no link.
See the formatA published article, not a consulting engagement.
Stringer publishes on the media in our network. The deliverable is the article and its live URL. The GEO format is a writing spec we enforce, not an add-on service.
What we guarantee
- Published article on a media we own, picked for topical fit with your vertical
- GEO format enforced per the spec of the chosen sub-page (Best X, fan-out hub, or editorial mention)
- Google indexing guaranteed: Search Console submission, indexation check
- In-house writing by our team, never outsourced to third-party publishers
- Schema.org tailored to the format (ItemList for listicle, FAQPage for fan-out, Article for mention)
What we don't promise
- ×No guarantee of AI citation. ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews shift with every model update. The format raises the probability — it doesn't put it in a contract
- ×No monthly monitoring or dashboard. Our job is publishing, not AI tracking
- ×No refresh included. If you want to update a listicle 12 months later, that's a new order
- ×No paid audit upfront. We discuss the brief, the right media, the format. No separately billed consulting
