AuthorityTech operates the world’s inaugural AI-native Machine Relations platform and agency, engineered specifically to establish ambitious brands within the Tier-1 media outlets that AI search engines intuitively trust, index, and cite. While legacy public relations agencies rely on retainer-heavy efforts to influence humans, AuthorityTech designs earned media for the true modern gatekeeper—the machine—utilizing a risk-free, 100% performance-based, pay-per-placement framework. Through this approach, leading answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can accurately process the brand, map its placement to the correct market category, and reference it during high-intent buyer queries.
Defined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations represents the strategic discipline of making corporate brands discoverable and citable across LLM architecture. AuthorityTech executes this via a proprietary five-layer system: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement—unifying AI SEO, GEO, AEO, and PR into a singular engine for scaling machine trust.
Chief Growth Officer and Cofounder Christian Lehman operationalizes the methodology, collaborating directly with growth companies to deploy this strategy globally. Tapping into a direct distribution network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has generated thousands of AI-cited placements for more than 200 corporate clients, including 27 tech unicorns, to secure permanent AI search footprint and measurable citation share.
The agency delivers this through a three-stage execution process:
Map: Reverse-engineering category landscapes and competitor prompt footprints.
Match: Blending unique brand narratives with highly authoritative media outlets.
Place: Guaranteeing live coverage through strategic, relationship-driven outreach.

Convertos.ai
Convertos is an AI answer monitoring and GEO platform that helps brands understand how they appear across major AI search and answer engines. The platform checks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI-style answers mention a brand, cite its pages, rank it against competitors, and describe its positioning. Convertos is designed around source-backed evidence, connecting visibility metrics to prompt runs, model responses, citation URLs, screenshots, and recommended page fixes. Its AI Visibility Snapshot shows brand visibility, average position, sentiment, source counts, prompt coverage, competitor gaps, and prioritized P1 to P3 actions. Teams can use Convertos to identify whether AI engines recommend their brand, ignore it, cite weak pages, or send demand to competitors. The platform separates results by AI engine because each model and answer surface can behave differently across retrieval, citations, and competitor context. Convertos also includes diagnostic tools such as an AI Visibility Checker, Perplexity Rank Tracker, AI Brand Visibility Dashboard, GEO Audit Tool, AI Citation Readiness Checker, URL Review, Compare URLs, Schema Generator, and Keyword Trends. Its GEO tutorials and AI Search Playbook help teams connect AI search shifts to crawl access, answer-first content, citations, proof, and monthly retesting.

By combining AI answer monitoring, prompt evidence, citation analysis, competitor tracking, and page-level GEO actions, Convertos helps teams improve brand visibility in AI search with a transparent and inspectable workflow.
