Founded on Research Principles

Ranking Atlas was founded by Daniel Grainger. He has spent years as a digital PR specialist, pitching journalists, building media relationships, and earning coverage on authoritative publishers for B2B brands. He is also a published scientific author.

That combined discipline shaped how Ranking Atlas operates. Most PR agencies run on intuition: pitch a lot, see what lands, report on volume. We treat citation equity as an observable system with measurable signals. Campaigns are structured interventions. Outcomes are evidenced against data.

The work respects everyone at the editorial table. Journalists deserve stories worth publishing. Readers deserve coverage worth reading. Clients deserve the citations they paid for.

The research discipline is the agency's foundation.

How We Work

We run every campaign as a structured intervention.

We baseline a brand's citation pattern before the campaign starts. We identify the authoritative publishers AI systems cite in the client's vertical. We target editorial coverage on those publishers. We measure the citation pattern after.

Each step is documented. Each output is evidenced.

Our published research follows the same discipline. The Cost of Authority report is built on a proprietary dataset of 140,000+ publisher listings collected over six years. The research we publish is the research we apply to client work.

What a Campaign Looks Like

Fixed-price campaigns, not retainers. Every engagement has defined scope and a guaranteed minimum number of editorial placements. If we do not hit the guarantee, we keep working until we do.

Every campaign includes before-and-after AI citation measurement across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Clients see exactly how their brand's presence in AI answers shifted.

We work primarily with fintech, privacy, cybersecurity, and data infrastructure SaaS companies, where the pattern of AI citation is most established.

No retainers. No monthly billing. One campaign, one price, one defined outcome.
