When your buyers ask AI for recommendations, the answers draw heavily on ranked industry lists, articles by trusted voices and review videos. Optimiza watches those exact pages for your brand, surfaces the openings, negotiates the rate on your behalf and handles the placement end to end.
Nearly two thirds of AI citations point to list-format pages: exactly the kind Optimiza places you in.Evertune analysis of 400M AI citations, 2026

Optimiza monitors the ranked lists, LinkedIn voices, review channels and social surfaces AI engines cite when buyers ask about your category: up to 5 tracked searches, watched continuously for who gets named and where the openings are.
Openings in venues that are already indexed arrive with a rate negotiated on your behalf: an entry in a ranked list, a LinkedIn article, a review video or a mention on the social channels that fit your brand. You approve, pay one invoice, and Optimiza handles the venue, the FTC disclosure and the delivery.
Every placement is delivered with a live link and tracked against real AI answers as the engines re-crawl, so you see your name enter the sources. Engines move on their own schedules: some placements surface in weeks, others take months.
This is the shift Optimiza works toward, every month, in what your buyers see when they ask AI about your category.
Real writers and creators add your brand to the ranked pages, articles and videos buyers and AI engines already read.
Engines re-crawl those pages and read your name inside the sources they trust.
Your odds of being named climb with every placement the engines pick up.
The lists are being written right now.
AI typically names 2 or 3 brands per category, pulled from a handful of pages. The slots in those pages are few. Take yours, or watch a competitor keep it.
Venues are picked on retrieval evidence, not follower counts: already indexed, already read, with pages that rank or get cited by AI engines coming first. Every placement is then tracked against real AI answers.
Ads vanish when the budget stops. A placement in a ranked list lives inside a published page for the permanence agreed with the venue, and keeps feeding the answers well after it goes live.
If you maintain a ranked industry list that gets read, publish to a real LinkedIn audience, or run a channel of honest reviews and comparisons, brands want into your pages. Join the network, receive briefs that fit your beat, and agree a clear rate per placement. You keep editorial control: nothing runs on your pages without your sign-off, you only take briefs you'd stand behind, and a ready-to-adapt draft can be provided to keep the lift small.

Most placements are entries in ranked industry listicles, the list-format pages that dominate AI citations. Placements can also be articles on venues or LinkedIn, review or comparison videos, and the social surfaces that apply to your brand. All are earned, third-party page types AI engines retrieve when they assemble an answer, and every venue is already indexed before an opportunity reaches you.
The membership is $99 a month. No contracts, no minimum term, cancel anytime.

AI doesn't cite ads.
It cites pages. Optimiza puts you in them.
AI answers are built mostly from pages the engines retrieve and trust: ranked lists that actually rank, articles by voices with real audiences, and review videos engines index. Optimiza maintains a vetted network of the writers and creators behind those pages, finds the openings for your brand and negotiates you into them, verified against real AI citations, not guesses. One placement gets read by every engine that retrieves the page:
