Get Your First Best Of Placement Free
Start building third-party recommendation visibility with one managed Best Of placement from Mention Engine — a $399 value. No marketplace setup required.
Available to qualifying new Mention Engine advertisers. One complimentary managed Best Of placement per brand. Placement is subject to publisher availability and editorial acceptance.
Four Steps From Brand to Placement
The goal of the trial is simple: let you experience the managed Mention Engine workflow before deciding whether an ongoing recommendation-visibility program makes sense.
Share your website, market, audience, and the goals you want the placement to support.
We identify whether an appropriate Best Of opportunity is available for your brand and category.
Mention Engine coordinates the placement process, including the content and publisher workflow.
After the placement is completed, decide whether you want to continue with a managed plan or stop there.
A Simple First Step Into the Recommendation Economy
When buyers ask AI systems questions such as “What are the best companies for X?” they are asking for a recommendation set, not just another informational answer.
Best Of content is designed around that type of commercial evaluation. A credible third-party placement can give your brand another relevant environment where it is categorized, described, and considered alongside other options.
A placement does not guarantee an AI citation or recommendation. The strategic value is creating relevant third-party recommendation context that can strengthen your broader AI Recommendation Footprint.
The Free Placement Is a Trial — Not a Purchased #1 Ranking
The goal is relevant inclusion in credible recommendation content. Publisher fit, factual accuracy, and editorial requirements still matter.
Good-fit advertisers
- Have a legitimate product, service, or company that fits a real category.
- Can provide accurate information about capabilities, audiences, geography, pricing, or differentiators.
- Are open to a placement angle that reflects where the brand credibly belongs.
- Want to test third-party recommendation visibility before committing to an ongoing program.
Important offer terms
- One complimentary managed Best Of placement per qualifying brand.
- Placement availability depends on suitable publisher inventory and editorial acceptance.
- The offer does not guarantee a #1 position, award, endorsement, AI citation, ranking, or recommendation.
- Mention Engine may decline requests where a credible Best Of fit is not available.
Continue Only If the Managed Model Makes Sense for You
The complimentary placement is not a coupon against a subscription. It is a first-placement trial. If you want to keep building your recommendation footprint afterward, Mention Engine offers ongoing managed plans.
Larger programs of 20+ monthly placements are available by custom arrangement. Ongoing strategy should balance volume with content-type diversity, publisher fit, and credible category coverage.
