Get your brand on the U.S. news sites AI already trusts.
AI Overviews and ChatGPT build their answers from sources they already trust, and a brand that never appears on real news sites is easy to leave out. NewsroomElite is Tonic’s news site backlinks service: we place your brand in editorial articles on vetted U.S. news sites, from DR20+ to DR60+, each with a dofollow link back to your site.
THE PROBLEM
AI answers come from trusted sources. Is your brand in them?
Google’s AI Overviews and language models like ChatGPT lean on trusted sources when they decide what to say, and high-authority U.S. news sites are among the domains that influence those answers. If your brand isn’t on them, you’re missing from the places your audience now gets answers.
NewsroomElite fixes that. Each placement puts your brand in an editorial article on a vetted U.S. news site, with a dofollow link that builds the authority search engines reward. That means more visibility in search, and in the answers your audience receives.
