Engagement

Each engagement is scoped to the client.

The work is editorial — a bylined trade-publication feature, a directory entry, an expert interview, a referenceable case study — and editorial runs at editorial pace, on the editor’s terms, against publications whose names change with the vertical. A published number would misrepresent it. The shape of the engagement follows the source-page coverage plan for your vertical, not a public rate card.

How the work is sequenced

One intake. A coverage plan. The engagement shape lasts a full conversation.

The intake names the trade publications, directories, and editorial outlets the engines already lean on for your buyer’s queries. The coverage plan is built from that intake. The engagement's scope, cadence, and shape follow the plan — not a pre-published figure.

  1. Step 01

    Intake.

    Four fields — company, vertical, deal-size band, current AI-search standing — that name the publication set the work will run against.

  2. Step 02

    Citation inventory.

    A re-read of the engines for the prompt your buyer actually types, and the source pages the model already leans on for that query.

  3. Step 03

    Placements.

    The bylined feature, the directory entry, the expert interview, the case-study co-publication — earned on the third-party source pages the model already trusts.

  4. Step 04

    Re-citation.

    A re-read of the prompt against the engines, with the operator on the cited line — and the next round of placement planned from the result.

Why no published pricing

The number on a page would tell you nothing about the work.

Published pricing assumes the work is interchangeable across clients. Thezeuz engagements are not — the trade-publication set changes with the vertical, the editorial cadence changes with the editor, and the operator’s standing in the industry changes the shape of the placement a publication is willing to run. A figure on a public page would either over-quote the vertical that does not need the heavier placement, or under-quote the one that does, and either way would misrepresent the engagement before it began.

The conversation that follows the intake is where the engagement takes shape. Bring the company, the vertical, and the buyer’s prompt — the rest is scoped together, in plain language, before any work starts.

The next step

Open the conversation with the intake.

The intake takes 90 seconds. The return is a source-page coverage plan for your vertical — the trade publications, directories, and editorial outlets the engines already lean on for your buyer’s queries — built from the prompts your buyer actually types.
