> Earn credible mentions and reviews on independent platforms in an honest, sustainable way.

## Be present where answers are drawn from

Use your citation analysis to pick channels. Typical routes: ask satisfied customers for **honest reviews** on the platforms your buyers use; claim and complete your profiles on **relevant directories and marketplaces**; contribute **expert comments, guest articles and data** to reputable publications; take part helpfully in **communities and Q&A threads** where your audience asks questions; and keep an accurate **Wikipedia or Wikidata** entry only if you genuinely meet notability and neutrality rules (do not write about yourself). Never buy fake reviews or run astroturfing: it is unethical, often illegal or against platform rules, and can backfire badly.

## A simple outreach plan

Start small and measurable. Each action should have an owner and a date.

```text
Month 1  claim/complete profiles on the 5 directories assistants cite most in our category
Month 1  email 30 happy customers asking for an honest review (no incentives for rating)
Month 2  publish an original benchmark (survey of 200 users); pitch it to 10 trade sites
Month 2  answer 4 real questions/week in 2 relevant communities, disclosing our affiliation
Month 3  re-run the prompt set; compare citations and sentiment
```

## Disclose your connection

When you or your staff post about your own product, say so. Transparency protects credibility and complies with most platform rules and advertising guidelines.
