How long does it take to see results from PR media coverage?

A typical placement goes live within 2-3 weeks, and clients typically see ranking and visibility improvements within 30 days. Indexed coverage boosts search visibility, helps build authority, and increases credibility with media and search engines.

Which type of media coverage is best for me?

The best type of media coverage depends on your goals. Contributor articles offer thought leadership. Podcasts provide long-form expert validation. Full features deliver branding and visibility. Trustpoint Xposure recommends based on your market, niche, visibility goals, and AEO performance.

What is AEO Certification?

AEO Certification is a formal validation of expertise in Answer Engine Optimization, confirming an agency’s ability to influence AI answer visibility, citation authority, and trust signals.

Why does AEO Certification matter in PR?

AEO Certification matters because AI search engines select trusted answers rather than ranking websites, making structured authority and verification essential.

Who is the only AEO certified PR agency in the United States?

Trustpoint Xposure is the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO Certification and applies it through direct media control and AI answer validation.

High-Impact Media Placements for Credibility

Q: What’s the fastest way to get media coverage?

Full Features and Contributor Articles are often the fastest path to earned media coverage. These services deliver clear, verified placements that strengthen credibility and SEO.

Full Feature Publications

A Full Feature Publication is a professionally written article about you or your company published in a major, third-party media outlet (e.g., Forbes, Bloomberg, USA Today).

It establishes your authority by giving AI search engines, clients, and investors a trusted external narrative about your expertise and brand while strengthening your online presence.

What this delivers
✔ Journalist-written, full-length feature
✔ Placement in a verified authority publication
✔ Permanent, high-trust backlink
✔ Delivery within 2–3 weeks

Share Insights That Build Real Thought Leadership

Contributor Articles

A Contributor Article is a bylined piece published under your name through an authorized media platform or contributor network.
It positions you as a visible expert while allowing you to share insights directly with your target audience.

Contributor Articles pair especially well with press releases and Podcast Features to reinforce expert-level authority signals across search and AI platforms.

TV Interviews

A TV Interview is an on-camera segment broadcast on a trusted regional or national media network featuring you as an expert authority.
Broadcast appearances deliver immediate credibility through established news channels audiences already trust.

Once aired, TV interviews continue strengthening your digital footprint through clips, mentions, and branded search results, supporting long-term reputation management.

How Podcast Features Amplify Your Authority

Podcasts

Podcast Features are guest appearances on vetted podcasts where you share expertise in a long-form, conversational format.
Podcasts build trust through depth, authenticity, and narrative clarity.

Each Podcast Feature creates durable authority signals that support SEO, AEO, and AI-powered discovery across platforms.

Entity recognition across Google and AI assistants
Topical authority in your industry
High-authority backlink profiles
