Editorial citation building and authority infrastructure for firms targeting the Authority Premium.
Citation density and authoritative-publisher coverage compound non-linearly. Authority is the engagement that builds that asset.
For plumbers specifically, the gap that this engagement closes is the Local Resolution signal — typically the lowest-scored of the eight signals across the Plumbers cohort. The trust signals that Plumbers need to demonstrate inside AI answers — licensed plumber accreditation, Master Plumbers membership, response time guarantees, transparent pricing, and named technicians — are exactly the surface this engagement builds.
The deliverable is earned editorial citations in AI-trusted publishers, byline programme, and Wikipedia-class entity work.
Everything is delivered against The Standard™, our published methodology, and executed by named credentialled practitioners — Practitioners, Specialists, and Fellows — registered through Certified™.
The Authority Programme is designed to integrate with the operational rhythm of a plumbing business. We schedule deep-work sessions around your busy periods, not in spite of them. The named senior practitioner is your single point of contact — there is no account-management overhead.
Most plumbers retain Authority Programme after running the AI Discovery Audit™ first. The Audit identifies whether this engagement is the right yield priority for your specific scorecard, and quantifies the expected lift.
This is not link-building, not generic SEO retainer work, and not a software subscription. Authority Programme is a structured, methodology-driven institutional process. The deliverable is documented, the practitioner is named, the standard is published — and you receive a re-auditable score against the benchmark.
"AI Discovery work is methodical. The firms that compound on it are the ones that retain authority programme-grade engagements, not the ones chasing tactics."
practitioner-level add-on. Pricing is set against scope, not seat-count or hours. You can see the published pricing on our Pricing page, and the Score Engine institutional licence is detailed there as a separate institutional tier ($250K–$700K for whole-firm licensing).
practitioner-level add-on. Scope is set after a 30-minute intake call. Pricing varies with practice scale and the number of plumbing business entities to be audited or remediated.
12 months. For plumbers, the calendar timeline is typically driven by your ability to provide named-principal interviews and supply existing brand assets; we move at the pace you can resource.
You receive earned editorial citations in AI-trusted publishers, byline programme, and Wikipedia-class entity work. For plumbers specifically, the deliverable also includes a vertical-comparable benchmark sourced from The Index™.
Citation density and authoritative-publisher coverage compound non-linearly. Authority is the engagement that builds that asset. For plumbers, the signal disproportionately under-built across the cohort is Local Resolution — and Authority Programme is the engagement that addresses it most directly.
