M-04Authority Network
Editorial placements on the sources models already trust.
The problem
Link building is still mostly cold email at volume, and the marketplaces that promise to fix it are stocked with sites nobody reads. Meanwhile generative engines lean disproportionately on a small set of trusted domains that most link vendors do not carry.
What this module does
Authority Network is a curated inventory of publications scored on topical fit, traffic quality and — uniquely — how often each domain is actually cited by AI engines in your category.
- Placements on domains the engines already cite
- A defensible, natural anchor profile
- No cold outreach and no negotiation overhead
- Monthly proof that every link you paid for is still live
Capabilities
Inside Authority Network
- 01
Citation-frequency scoring
Every domain carries a score for how often the engines quote it on your topics. A DR 70 site nobody cites is worth less than a DR 45 site that models lean on constantly.
- 02
Relevance-first filtering
Filter by topical overlap with your own site rather than raw authority metrics, so placements read as natural rather than purchased.
- 03
Transparent, fixed pricing
Every listing shows traffic, topical fit, citation score, turnaround and price before you commit. No negotiation theatre.
- 04
Managed placement
Aeologic writes the piece, pitches the editor and confirms the live URL. You approve the angle and the anchor.
- 05
Anchor portfolio management
Anchor text distribution is planned across the whole campaign so the profile stays inside natural ranges.
- 06
Live link monitoring
Placements are checked monthly. If a link is removed, nofollowed or redirected, you are told and the placement is replaced.
How it works
From connection to shipped fix
- 01
Target
Pick the pages that need authority. Radar suggests the ones losing citations to better-sourced competitors.
- 02
Select
Filter inventory by topical fit, AI citation score, traffic and price, then shortlist.
- 03
Approve
Review the pitch angle, target URL and anchor text before anything is commissioned.
- 04
Verify
Placements go live with a confirmed URL and are monitored monthly for the life of the account.
Authority Network — questions
Is paying for placements safe?
Paid links carry risk when they are irrelevant, disclosed poorly or bought in bulk from a network. Authority Network is built to avoid all three: relevance-first filtering, editorial pieces written for the host publication's audience, and pacing limits that keep velocity natural. We decline placements that would not survive a manual review.
How long until a placement affects rankings?
Expect six to twelve weeks for ranking movement on competitive terms. AI citation effects tend to lag further, because models refresh their view of a source on their own schedule.
Can I bring my own target list?
Yes. Upload a list and Aeologic will price and pursue it, flagging any domain that fails our quality screen before you spend anything.
