Being cited in a &#8220;Top 10&#8221; list has a disproportionate effect on visibility, regardless of the site&#8217;s DR. The goal is to get your client cited as close to the top of the list as possible.

For marketers, it’s time to widen media lists to include YouTubers and video-first journalists. Interestingly, LLMs don’t seem to be swayed by raw views or subscriber counts.
