Rank in Perplexity with credible sourcing
Perplexity hates marketing copy. It wants citations, academic tone, and crisp answers. To rank in Perplexity we create source libraries: research summaries, annotated charts, and outbound links to partners. When bots see you cite real studies, they return the favor.
We once helped a cybersecurity firm that we was sure would dominate. Instead Perplexity ignored them because their articles never linked to CVE databases. We fixed it by weaving in references, quotes from responders, and timeline graphics. Suddenly they get mentioned by Perplexity for every “mid-market SOC” query.
The best part? Those references also convince skeptical buyers. Your sales team gets ammo while the AI crawler gets proof.
Visibility from every angle
Logs, PR, and knowledge graphs
We monitor Diffbot, PerplexityBot, and other crawlers to understand how deep they crawl. If they bounce early, we audit JS, restructure navigation, and resurface evergreen stories. Screaming Frog Log Analyzer is open in another tab almost daily.
Perplexity loves reputable links. Our digital PR sprints pitch original data to journalists and niche newsletters. When credible outlets cite you, Perplexity trusts those mentions and loops back to your site.
We also build lightweight knowledge graphs with schema, internal references, and author bios. The graph ensures every entity—product, SME, research asset—connects logically.
Make humans care
Experience writing that reads like a field journal
To get mentioned by Perplexity consistently, your pages need to feel human. We let SMEs talk in their own voice, typos and all. A client literally said “this dashboard slaps” and we kept it. That authenticity resonates with buyers and LLMs.
We break long guides into chapters, add sticky TL;DR blocks, and embed quotes. Each section ends with a conversational CTA so the journey never feels robotic.
Design-wise we embrace neutral palettes, breathable spacing, and annotated screenshots. It feels like flipping through a mentor’s notebook.
Track the upside
Revenue alignment
Perplexity mentions feed brand searches, direct traffic, and even referrals when people share answers. We capture those signals, compare them against CRM data, and show marketing what’s working.
When leadership sees that “rank in Perplexity” also means “win more deals,” they fund more experiments. We set up dashboards, not long decks, so teams can self-serve.
If something flops, we admit it fast, tweak prompts, and move on. Honest reporting keeps trust high.

Case study
Case study: Cybersecurity SOC team
A SOC automation company wanted to rank in Perplexity but the crawler barely noticed them. Logs showed shallow visits and zero citations. We rebuilt their research hub, added expert interviews, layered schema, and kicked off a PR sprint. Within two months they got mentioned by Perplexity for seven commercial prompts.
Those citations became LinkedIn talking points, SDR follow-ups, and even fodder for board decks. The marketing lead DM’d “grammar is messy but pipeline is happy,” which honestly sums up the vibe.
