A publishing platform for AI search
Search traffic is collapsing. AI citations are the new currency.
Newsroom helps publishers and content teams ship non-commodity articles that get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, while still ranking in the search results that drive clicks. Built on the Four-Pillar Framework.

Four pillars in every article
Every Newsroom article is built against four pillars. Skip one, and AI engines have no reason to cite you over a thousand other articles saying the same thing.
Technical Foundations
JSON-LD schema (Article, Person, Organization, FAQPage) generated and validated before every publish. Page architecture that AI crawlers parse cleanly. No technical debt blocking citations.
Topical Content
Comprehensive topic clusters with primary citations only. Time-windowed research keeps coverage current. Every article extends what has been said. No commodity rewrites of competitor pages.
Trust Signals
Real author entities with full sameAs[] linkage to LinkedIn, X, professional bios and verified bylines. Inline source citations on every claim. AI engines see expertise and treat your content as authoritative.
Authority Network
Surface your own YouTube content, conference talks and expert quotes inside articles. Turns commodity research into non-commodity reporting that AI cannot replicate from training data.
The guide
The content guide
The pillars tell you how to build a page. The content guide tells your editor what to change on it. Every page and draft is read through four lenses, and each one says what it found, shows the evidence and lists specific edits. No score to chase: just the changes that would make the page worth citing.
First-hand
Does the page show the writer did or saw something? The guide quotes the first-hand passages it finds and points to where a detail from your own work would help most. It never suggests inventing experience.
Facts and figures
Can a reader or an AI lift a precise fact? Figures with units, prices, dates and tables are counted, and every figure without a link to where it came from is called out.
Sources and entities
Is it clear who wrote this, who publishes it and who says so? A named author with profile links, the organisation in structured data, and primary or official sources linked.
What is new
Does the page say something the pages already ranking do not? A live comparison lists what it adds and what it misses, so the edit is aimed at the gap rather than at a number.
The guide is advice, not a ranking factor, and it never blocks publishing. Its notes on a page's shape come from a study of 4,204 pages on 57 websites, where longer pages with more sections, question headings, an answer before the first heading and lists were cited in AI answers more often. That is an association we report, not a guarantee.
The retrieval path
RAG analysis
Answer engines run retrieval-augmented generation: they fan a question out, retrieve passages, then assemble a cited answer. We trace all three steps for your target so you can see where your content enters the answer, and where it falls out.
Query fan-out
One question becomes dozens of sub-queries before an answer engine ever retrieves a thing. We map that fan-out for your target so you can see every angle the model will search, not just the head term you optimised for.
Passage retrieval
Engines retrieve passages, not pages. We check whether your strongest paragraphs are self-contained and extractable, because the paragraph, not the article, is the unit a model actually pulls into its answer.
Citation assembly
The model stitches retrieved passages into a single answer and attributes them. We score how likely your passage is to survive that assembly and carry a visible citation back to you, which is the only outcome that returns traffic.
