Attune for Publishers & Media
Quantify influence beyond the click.
When AI answers before the click, publishers need to know where their work is cited, where it is ignored, and how much commercial influence it carries. Attune measures that citation layer, diagnoses the gaps, and turns the findings into editorial and revenue work your team can act on.
Citation intelligence workspace
Citation share
Know where your content wins
Track which articles AI engines cite, how faithfully they use them, and where your domain shapes buying decisions.
Gap diagnosis
Know where you are invisible
Separate coverage gaps from citation gaps: where you need new content, and where existing work should already be winning.
Commercial packaging
Price the influence, not the pageview
Turn AI citation footprint into advertiser-ready proof for sponsorships, premium inventory, and category expansion.
The new media attribution layer
Your content can shape decisions without earning a click.
Brands want AI to mention them. Publishers need AI to cite them as the source, and that is a different game. Pageviews miss this influence, and influence is what advertisers increasingly want to buy. Attune measures where your work shapes the answer and where competitors are taking the citation.

- 05
Commercial inventory scoring turns influence into packages advertisers can understand.
Operating model
Proof of influence, beyond the pageview.
For a media business, this is what Continuous GTM looks like. Attune reads where AI cites you, diagnoses why you lose, routes the editorial work, and keeps proof of influence ready for the sales team.
“The citation economy is replacing the click economy. If your reporting shapes the answer, that influence should be measured, improved, and sold.”
Use cases
What this looks like in practice.
Citation tracking
Track where your reporting wins the citation.
Attune tracks citation share by topic, category, advertiser vertical, and commercial intent, everywhere publisher authority matters.
Outcome
Citation share known by topic and advertiser vertical.
Loss diagnosis
Know why you lost the citation.
Attune separates the reasons you lose citations: a coverage gap, a citation gap where a competitor wins, or an extraction issue where AI misreads your reporting and puts your credibility on the hook.
Outcome
Each loss diagnosed as coverage, citation, or extraction.
Sell the influence
Package the influence for advertisers.
Agents draft advertiser-ready proof of citation influence by category, in the language sales teams use to sell it.
