FREE BLUEPRINT: CONTENT DISTRIBUTION
The Free Content Distribution Blueprint. Your Brand, Placed Across Every Platform That Matters.
Free. No email required. Map which of more than fifteen platform categories your brand is currently missing. Get the three platform categories most likely to move the needle first.
THE BLUEPRINT
Content Without Distribution Is Content That Does Not Exist.
Only 2% of B2B articles generate 75% of all social media shares (Backlinko). The difference between the 2% and the 98% is almost never content quality. It is distribution strategy. In 2026, organic search still drives nearly 47% of all website traffic. But for brand recommendation queries, the distribution layer has expanded beyond Google: it now includes Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, Medium, Wikipedia, Product Hunt, Hacker News, Substack, and more than a dozen other platform categories.
Platform-native formats outperform reposts by 35 to 60% (Digital Applied, 2026). Each platform recommendation below uses the format native to that platform rather than simply linking to existing content. Republishing on Medium with canonical tags, contributing to the right subreddit natively, and building a Wikipedia presence all require different formats from your own blog.
This blueprint addresses distribution breadth: which platform categories your brand is present on, and which gaps to close first to increase reach and AI citation volume. The SEO, AEO, and GEO blueprint addresses citation depth: whether your content is structured to be cited, whether your entity presence is strong enough for AI engines to recognise the brand as legitimate.
- Priority 1 for B2B brands: Medium. LinkedIn carousels and Medium articles are the two formats Microsoft Copilot surfaces most reliably in B2B AI answers. Republish the 3 best-performing blog posts on Medium with canonical tags.
- Priority 2 for most brands: Reddit. Reddit contributes 24 to 46% of Perplexity AI citations. Identify 5 subreddits where your ICP discusses the problems your service solves. Contribute one substantive answer per week for 90 days.
- Priority 3 for AI visibility: Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the most cited single domain for ChatGPT. Search for existing Wikipedia mentions of your brand or founders. If none exist, identify 3 trade press articles that could serve as citations for a Wikipedia entry.
