As for Google AI Overviews, the most cited domains are Quora, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, and then the New York Times, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/ai-search-seo-traffic-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Semrush<\/a>.

One way to move this needle is to focus on getting mentioned by journalists. A quote in an article might now have more downstream reach than a blog post or press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can do this low-lift, high-leverage PR tactic yourself. You don\u2019t need a PR firm on a monthly retainer or a product launch to score earned media. And you don\u2019t need to be a Fortune 500 executive for a reporter to listen to you. What you do need is a fresh, relevant, and authoritative perspective. Reporters are always looking for insights from practitioners, founders, and subject-matter experts, especially in niche fields. Nail that contributing quote and get seen a number of times, and eventually, you\u2019ll appear in content that AI might later surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Start Contributing to Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To put yourself in a position where you\u2019re even a contender to be quoted, put yourself out there both proactively and in a way that\u2019s working in the background for you. I elaborate below with a sustainable workflow that has some \u201cset it and forget it\u201d and \u201cgo out and get it\u201d tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover, curate, and understand your media landscape.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever engaged a PR firm you might already have a list of media outlets, publications, and reporters. If not, the best time to start is now! Start compiling a list of the media that influences your audience. This is likely a solid mix of press publications, trade\/niche media, podcasts, YouTube channels, and company blogs or publications (which might be most applicable to B2B audiences).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up your feeds so you can easily find reporters and influencers. You can make Twitter\/X lists, create a saved LinkedIn Search if your audience is B2B (see screenshot below), and\/or create a fake Instagram account or \u201cfinsta.\u201d This is an alternate Instagram account that you\u2019ll use specifically to find your audience and train your algorithm to serve you content in your Explore tab that your audience is likely to consume. This doesn\u2019t have to be a totally new personal finsta \u2014 your company Instagram account might already work well for this. Start engaging with them when it feels natural and appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FastestWaytoUnderstandYourAudience3v2-2048x1151.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Want to make your own LinkedIn saved search?

Try platforms like Help a Reporter Out (HARO), <a href=\"https:\/\/helpab2bwriter.com\/\">Help a B2B Writer Out<\/a>, Qwoted, and Terkel. Keep an eye out for relevant opportunities, and chime in whenever you can. You\u2019ll have this working in the background for you while you proactively source your own opportunities, likely through social media or cold outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go out and get it. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember those social feeds you set up? Don\u2019t forget to check those regularly. Incorporate it into an easy but intentional part of your day. Maybe it\u2019s first thing in the morning after you clear your inbox, again before you break for lunch, and one last time before you wind down for the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amplify what\u2019s relevant to you and comment when you can add value. Ideally, you\u2019ll use your personal account for this so that those reporters know they\u2019re actually talking to you. But the most important thing here? Actually read their work. Get familiar with what they write about. A Wirecutter editor isn\u2019t necessarily a general editor; they might also be the person who oversees kitchen tools and gadgets specifically. This is important because knowing the nuance will make you a heckuva lot more successful in the next step\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Send 2 kinds of short, highly relevant email pitches. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not constantly and definitely not on the same day. Don\u2019t be a weirdo. There are two kinds of emails to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The \u201cget my foot in the door\u201d email: <\/strong>\u201cSaw your recent story on X \u2014 if you\u2019re ever writing about Y, I\u2019d be happy to share a POV.\u201d Especially when this is your first pitch to a reporter, you\u2019ll want to keep the door open. So make it as easy as possible for them to keep you in mind. Give them an easy out and make sure your email is skimmable and has a few relevant keywords. That reporter might archive your email and try to search for it again later when they\u2019re working on a new piece that\u2019s relevant to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The specific pitch email:<\/strong> \u201cI saw your article about packable picnic lunches last week. *My company and I actually ran a summer survey to our audience of eco-conscious consumers and found that 50% of them are looking for more compostable packaging to help lighten their loads post-picnic. We were surprised because we thought this number would be smaller. I\u2019m happy to elaborate on these findings (even over email) if you find yourself wanting to write a follow-up article\u201d Most likely, this is the kind of email you\u2019ll send after you\u2019ve established rapport. Or not. Some reporters are cool with totally cold pitches. That\u2019s why you follow their work, right? \ud83d\ude42 You\u2019ll somewhat-easily figure out \u2014 at least directionally \u2014 how reporters want to be pitched to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*This is obviously a made-up example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your quote tight, specific, and insightful. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;when you do get the green light to contribute. Think: 1-3 sentences, jargon-free, with a clear point of view. Aim to say something the journalist can\u2019t easily Google. Use your niche expertise but make your point easy to understand. Remember, this might ultimately be the average person who reads the final news article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Track your mentions and reuse them.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Got quoted? That quote now lives forever. Share the link, turn it into a carousel on social media, and save it in a \u201cPress\u201d page or brand kit. Better yet, create a standalone content piece (a blog post or a video tutorial) that connects the dots between your quote and your product or offering.\u00a0The point is: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Rihanna.
