# Mktg.Tech Media Kit Figures updated 2 September 2026Citations through 31 Aug 2026 Mktg.Tech publishes independent, scored rankings of marketing software. This page is what we can tell you about our standards, our currency, and how much our research is actually being used. It is not an advertising kit, because we do not sell advertising. Nothing on this site is for sale There is no rate card, because there are no rates. So here it is in full. | What vendors ask to buy | Price | | --- | --- | | Placement in a ranking | Not for sale | | Position within a ranking | Not for sale | | Inclusion in a report | Not for sale | | A review | Not for sale | | A mention anywhere on the site | Not for sale | | The report badge | Not for sale | Not for sale means not purchasable, not sponsorable, and not negotiable. We have never accepted payment for any of the six and we do not intend to. The badge is the one row that is also free, given to every included product, which is a different thing from being on the market. If you are looking for the commercial terms, there are none. If you are looking for how a product gets evaluated, that is section 3. 306,468 AI citations to date Monthly, linear, with a minimum bar so the small months stay visible. Microsoft Copilot and partner surfaces, through 31 Aug 2026 20 Categories ranked counted live from the site 200 Products scored ten per category 7 Months publishing first ranking 25 January 2026 9 Aug 2026 Oldest last update no ranking has sat untouched for longer ## 1. Who we are Mktg.Tech is a research publication, not a directory and not a media business. We evaluate marketing software against a published framework and publish the scores, the reasoning, and the sources behind them. We are newer than most sites in this category. The first ranking went live on **25 January 2026**. 7 months later there are 20 categories covering 200 products, each scored out of 100 against the [7-Point Evaluation Framework](https://mktg.tech/ranking-methodology/), with named strengths, a stated limitation for every entrant, and a downloadable research workbook listing every source consulted. Research is done by named people, not a byline: [Michael Brown and Erik Chavez](https://mktg.tech/about/), whose backgrounds are published in full. ## 2. Reach, and what the number does not mean We do not lead with pageviews. Our output is read most often by AI assistants answering software questions, so the number that describes our reach is how often our rankings get cited in those answers. **306,468 citations to date.** The source is Bing Webmaster Tools’ AI Performance report. Five qualifications, all of which matter more than the headline: - **It is one vendor’s ecosystem.** The figure counts Microsoft Copilot and its partner surfaces: Copilot, Bing, and the search engines and assistants that ground on the Bing index. It does not include Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude. We publish the full surface by surface map at [What Are Microsoft Copilot and Partners?](https://mktg.tech/microsoft-copilot-and-partners/), including which surfaces we could not verify. - **It is concentrated by category.** Across the 13 rankings covered by the per-page report, as of 2 September 2026, our three largest categories account for roughly 79% of the citations counted there, the median sits near 10,313 and the smallest at 74. Those come from a separate per-page export, which itemises slightly less than the headline total. Microsoft does not explain the shortfall, so we do not. Ask us for your category’s figure rather than assuming the headline applies to it, or read it off the ranking itself: every one prints its own count and date at the top. - **It is concentrated in time.** The busiest 14 days carried 174,746 citations, which is 57% of everything recorded to date. The cumulative total describes a recent surge more than a long steady run, and we would rather say so than let the number imply otherwise. - **Daily figures are not a clean trend line.** The report contains days recording zero between days recording thousands. Those are gaps in Microsoft’s reporting rather than actual stops, which is also why we do not quote a current daily rate. - **It counts citations, not people.** A citation is a reference to the page inside an AI answer. It is not an impression, a click, a session, or a visitor, and it should not be compared to those. For shape: the busiest single day recorded 16,205 citations, and the widest covered 16 distinct pages, up from two when the site started being cited. We watch that second number more closely than the total, because it says whether citations are spreading across the catalog or resting on one report. Microsoft reports one aggregate total and provides no per-surface breakdown, so neither we nor anyone else can attribute a citation to a specific product inside that ecosystem. Every figure here is a dated snapshot rather than a live counter, and each ranking prints its own count and date at the top of the page. ## 3. How a product gets evaluated We actively want to hear about products that shipped recently. A ranking is only as good as the version of the product it describes, and the fastest way for us to get that wrong is to score last year’s release. - **Submissions are free.** [Submit a product](https://mktg.tech/ranking-methodology/request/) at any time. It costs nothing. - **A submission buys nothing.** It does not influence placement, scoring, or whether a product is included at all. Submitted products are scored on the same evidence as products that never contact us. - **What helps.** Current pricing pages, release notes or changelogs, documentation, and named customer results with numbers in them. What does not help is a pitch deck. - **What we will not do.** Guarantee inclusion, guarantee a position, share a score before publication, or remove a limitation because a vendor disputes it. Factual errors are a different matter and we fix those: see [Corrections & Updates](https://mktg.tech/corrections/). ## 4. Editorial standards - **Published framework.** The [7-Point Evaluation Framework](https://mktg.tech/ranking-methodology/) sets out the criteria, weights, scoring scale, data sources, and inclusion rules. Scores are reproducible from it. - **Sources published.** Each ranking ships a research workbook listing every source consulted, including source conflicts we could not resolve and vendor claims we could not verify. We publish what failed verification rather than dropping it. - **Named researchers.** Every ranking credits the people who did the work. - **Stated limitations.** Every entrant carries a limitation, including the highest scoring one. A ranking with no downsides listed is an advertisement. - **Corrections on the record.** [Corrections & Updates](https://mktg.tech/corrections/) documents how errors are reported, verified, and logged, including what we will not do. - **No affiliate relationships** in the rankings, and no vendor has paid for placement, ranking influence, or editorial consideration. ## 5. Name and type ### The name **Mktg.Tech.** Mixed case, one full stop, no space. Not MKTG.TECH, not Mktg Tech, and not lowercase in running text even though the domain is. ### Typefaces Mktg.Tech **Tiny5 Regular, weight 400.** A pixel monospace, used only for the logotype and large numerals. Never for body copy. [Download Tiny5-Regular.ttf](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/Tiny5-Regular.ttf) (128 KB). Everything else is set in a UI sans Semibold 600 for navigation and labels Bold 700 for headings and figures Extrabold 800 for display numerals The stack is `Inter` first, then the platform UI sans. Inter is named but not self-hosted, so unless a reader already has it the type you see is their system font: SF Pro on Apple, Segoe UI on Windows. Match the stack rather than the name and it will look right either way. ## 6. Color Primary accent`#00D9FF`Links, figures, active state Nav blue`#4FC3F7`Logotype, navigation Secondary accent`#39FF14`Confirmation only, used sparingly Page`#0F1419`Site background Card`#1A1F2E`Panels and cards Header`#000000`Masthead, full-bleed bands Border`#2A2F3E`Hairlines and dividers Heading`#FFFFFF`Headings Body`#E8E8E8`Body copy Muted`#A0A0A0`Captions, sourcing lines The palette is built for a dark background. On light surfaces, use `#0087A3` in place of the primary accent so text stays legible; the raw cyan does not carry enough contrast on white. ## 7. Icon and badge ### The icon There is no wordmark file. The logotype is set live in Tiny5 rather than exported, so for anything needing a mark, use the icon: ![Mktg.Tech icon, the 512 by 512 master](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128.png) **512 × 512** the square master, for anything printed or resized [Download PNG](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128.png) ![Mktg.Tech icon at 192 by 192](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128-192x192.png) **192 × 192** app tiles, avatars, and site icons [Download PNG](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128-192x192.png) ![Mktg.Tech icon at 32 by 32, shown at actual size](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128-32x32.png) **32 × 32** favicons, shown here at actual size [Download PNG](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/cropped-dark-icon128-32x32.png) Two things the files will not tell you. The mark is **black on a transparent background and there is no reversed version**, so it needs a light surface: place it on a dark one and all that survives is the white bar through the middle. It is also **cropped flush to all four edges**, with no padding built in, so add clear space of about a tenth of its width yourself rather than butting it against neighboring elements. Do not recolor, rotate, outline, add effects to, or set type inside the icon. If you need a size or format that is not here, ask through the [contact form](https://mktg.tech/contact/) and we will export it rather than have it redrawn. ### The report badge This is what an included product receives. One badge per report, per year: ![Mktg.Tech report badge: ranked top 10 in field, 2026](https://mktg.tech/wp-content/uploads/ranked-top-10-in-field.png) The badge marks verified inclusion in a dated report. It is not an award, it does not indicate position within the ten, and it does not imply endorsement. #### How to distribute it Each ranking page carries the three routes below, next to the badge itself: - **Download the PNG** for decks, one-pagers, print, and anywhere an embed is not possible. Transparent background, so it sits on light or dark. - **Copy the HTML embed** for a website or docs. It is a linked image, so it stays verifiable: ``` Mktg.Tech – Best AI Visibility Tools of 2026 ``` - **Share to LinkedIn** with the report prefilled, for an announcement post. Places it tends to earn its keep: a homepage or footer trust row, an “as featured in” strip, a pricing or comparison page, the press or newsroom page, a launch announcement, and a sales deck appendix. Keep it at 180 to 240 px wide on the web; below about 140 px the year stops being readable. #### The rules, in full - **Every included product may use it**, not only the top scorer. - **Link it back to the report.** That is what makes the claim checkable, and it is the only thing we ask in return. - **Do not alter it:** no recoloring, cropping, stretching, added text, or added claims such as “number one” or “winner” unless the report says so. - **It is dated.** A 2026 badge refers to the 2026 report. Retire it when a newer report supersedes it. - **Using it is optional and has no effect on placement** in this or any future ranking. It is not a condition of inclusion, and declining costs a vendor nothing. ## 8. Boilerplate Copy these rather than paraphrasing, so the claims stay accurate. **One line.** > Mktg.Tech publishes independent, scored rankings of marketing software. **Short, about 40 words.** > Mktg.Tech is an independent research publication covering marketing software. It scores products against a published seven-point framework and publishes the reasoning and sources behind every ranking. Nothing on the site is for sale, and no vendor has paid for placement or ranking influence. **Longer, about 80 words.** > Mktg.Tech is an independent research publication covering marketing software. Since January 2026 it has ranked 20 categories covering 200 products, each scored out of 100 against a published seven-point framework, with named strengths, a stated limitation for every entrant, and a downloadable workbook listing every source consulted. Research is credited to named researchers. Nothing on the site is for sale: no placement, position, inclusion, review, or badge can be bought, sponsored, or negotiated. **Citing a ranking.** Reference the specific report URL and its published or revised date, both printed at the top of every ranking. Scores change when evidence changes, so a citation without a date is unverifiable. ## 9. Contact Press, research, and correction inquiries all go through the [contact form](https://mktg.tech/contact/). We do not publish an email address, because a published address is scraped within days; the form reaches the same people. For a factual error in a published ranking, [Corrections & Updates](https://mktg.tech/corrections/) is the faster route and lists what to include. Name, type, color, the badge, and downloadable assets are in sections 5 to 8. This page is available as Markdown at [/media-kit.md](https://mktg.tech/media-kit.md), as is every page on this site.
