· What we mean by LCV ·

You can't be the answer if you're not in the corpus.

Every frontier model trains on a measurable subset of the internet — Common Crawl, Wikipedia, Reddit, Stack Overflow, GitHub, arXiv, and a short list of high-authority publishers. If your brand is absent from this corpus, it is structurally absent from the model. LLM Citation & Training Visibility is the discipline of engineering your way in.

What it is

Systematic placement across the high-authority sources frontier models demonstrably train on. Wikipedia notability work, Common Crawl-indexed publisher placements, Reddit and Stack Overflow narrative work, GitHub and arXiv contributions where category-appropriate.

Why it matters now

Model training cycles ingest a finite, measurable corpus. A citation in Wikipedia compounds for years. A citation in a paywalled trade publication compounds for nobody. Most marketing budgets aim at the wrong sources because the discipline is new.

Why it is different

This is not link building. The mechanics are different, the sources are different, the half-life is different, and the measurement is different. We treat training visibility as its own practice with its own playbook.

· What's included ·

Six deliverables. One integrated engagement.

Corpus presence audit

Per-source visibility scan: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Common Crawl publishers, Reddit, Stack Overflow, GitHub, arXiv. Where you are, where competitors are, where the gap is.

Wikipedia notability work

Earned coverage, source-citation architecture, claim consistency. The single highest-leverage corpus surface.

Tier-1 publisher placement

Editorial coverage in the trade and national publications that land in training corpora. Real journalism, not paid placement.

Reddit narrative seeding

Done seriously and with rigor — content participation in category subreddits with vocabulary alignment, never spam.

Open-source contributions

GitHub, HuggingFace, arXiv where category-appropriate. Authority that compounds in technical-intent training data.

Syndication strategy

Multi-source distribution of original research to maximize corpus penetration of each piece.

· How it ships ·

Four phases. Weekly cadence.

01

Audit

Map current corpus presence across 6 major training sources. Quantify gaps vs. competitors AI cites most.

02

Diagnose

Score each source by leverage coefficient. Rank candidate placements by expected citation-share lift.

03

Execute

Editorial outreach, Wikipedia work, narrative seeding, open-source contributions. Weekly cadence.

04

Monitor

Track citation propagation across AI platforms in the 6–18 months following placement.

Questions about LCV.

The disclosed and inferable training data includes Common Crawl, Wikipedia, Reddit (via licensed deals or scraping), Stack Overflow, GitHub, arXiv, and a curated set of high-authority publishers. The composition shifts per model and per release, but the top sources are remarkably stable across vendors.
You earn coverage in independent reliable sources first, then qualified Wikipedia editors create or expand pages based on that coverage. We do not edit Wikipedia ourselves — we engineer the underlying notability that makes Wikipedia coverage warranted. The process is months, not weeks.
No, when done correctly. Spammy promotion is forbidden by Reddit and ignored by AI training pipelines. Genuine category participation — answering questions, sharing research, engaging in vocabulary-aligned conversations — is the discipline. We never operate inauthentically.
New training cycles ingest content on quarterly to semi-annual cadences. Material citation-share movement attributable to fresh corpus placements typically appears in months 3–9. Wikipedia citations compound faster because they are reinforced across many sources.
No agency can — Wikipedia inclusion is governed by independent editors against notability standards. We engineer the conditions (verified coverage in reliable sources, claim consistency, third-party verification) that make inclusion warranted. Conversion to a published article is high but not guaranteed.
Yes — and often better than B2C, because B2B categories have less competition for training-corpus placement and clearer notability signals via trade press, analyst coverage, and technical communities.
