As AI platforms reshape how audiences discover and evaluate brands, S99 PR introduces structured authority programs that build the editorial press foundation required to appear in both Google search and AI-generated recommendations.

S99 PR, a Los Angeles-based public relations and credibility-building agency, today announced the launch of its Authority Press Programs, a structured suite of services designed to help executives, founders, and brands build a durable editorial media presence across the platforms where modern audiences form their first impressions — including Google Search, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

The announcement reflects a fundamental shift in how brand discovery works. For years, owning your Google search results was the primary goal of reputation and credibility strategy. Today, that challenge has expanded significantly. AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are now among the first places people turn when evaluating a professional, choosing a service provider, or researching a brand. The recommendations those platforms generate are driven almost entirely by what editorial press exists about a brand across the open web.

“Search results have always been your first handshake,” said Jake Vince, brand strategist at S99 PR. “What has changed is that the handshake now happens in more places. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity who the best agency is in a given space, the answer is built from editorial press — the same foundation that drives Google authority. Build it once correctly, and it works across every platform simultaneously.”

S99 PR’s Authority Press Programs are structured around guaranteed editorial placements in recognized publications — features that carry named authors, clear publish dates, and no sponsored or contributor content tags. Each placement becomes a permanent indexed signal across Google and the editorial sources that AI platforms reference when formulating recommendations.

“The press you build today trains the models that answer questions about your industry for years. A placement from eighteen months ago is still indexed, still being read by AI, still shaping what gets recommended.”
— J A K E V I N C E , S 9 9 P R

Research across major AI platforms indicates that 82 to 89 percent of all AI citations trace back to earned editorial media rather than paid placements or social content. Brands with consistent editorial coverage across multiple outlets report significant increases in both AI citation rates and AI referral traffic — with conversion rates from AI-sourced visitors running substantially higher than those from traditional organic search.

S99 PR’s approach positions editorial press as a unified infrastructure asset. Rather than treating Google search and AI visibility as separate problems requiring separate solutions, the agency’s programs are designed to build a single editorial foundation that addresses both simultaneously. Guaranteed placements are combined with strategic press release distribution, supporting article coverage, and Google Knowledge Panel development to create a presence that compounds across platforms over time.

“Owning your search results is not about vanity,” Vince added. “It is about making sure that when someone is deciding whether to trust you, work with you, or invest in you — what they find gives them a reason to say yes. That conversation is happening on Google, on ChatGPT, on Claude, on Perplexity. The brands building editorial press now are the ones who will own that conversation.”

S99 PR works with founders, executives, medical professionals, researchers, and public figures across industries. The agency’s editorial standards — clean formatting, verified publication readership, no paid content tags — were originally developed to meet the strict evidentiary requirements of USCIS extraordinary ability visa petitions and have since been applied as the universal standard across all client programs.

LOS ANGELES, CA

With thousands of international startup founders — many backed by Y Combinator, a16z, and top-tier accelerators — pursuing O-1 visas to build their companies in the United States, S99 PR introduces a press program built specifically around the evidentiary needs of the founder community.

S99 PR, a Los Angeles-based public relations agency with a dedicated practice in visa press coverage, today announced the launch of a specialized O-1 visa press program for startup founders — a segment the agency identifies as one of the fastest growing and most underserved in the extraordinary ability immigration space.

The O-1A visa has become the visa of choice for international startup founders seeking to build companies in the United States. Its flexibility, unlimited renewals, and recognition of founder-specific achievements — including accelerator participation, venture funding, press coverage, and original contributions to a field — make it the dominant pathway for venture-backed entrepreneurs from countries around the world. Top accelerator programs including Y Combinator, Techstars, and others now routinely work with cohorts in which a significant portion of founders are O-1 applicants or candidates.

The press and media category remains one of the most powerful and one of the most frequently mishandled elements of an O-1 petition for founders. USCIS looks for evidence of media coverage in professional or major trade publications — coverage that demonstrates the applicant has been recognized by their field, not simply coverage that was self-generated or appeared in outlets lacking credibility. For founders, this means articles about their work, their company, their innovations, and their standing in the startup ecosystem — published by real editorial outlets with verifiable readership and clean formatting.

“Founders often have strong cases on paper — accelerator acceptance, venture backing, a product that is shipping,” said Jake Vince, brand strategist at S99 PR.

“What they frequently lack is documented media recognition. That gap in the press category is exactly what we are built to close. We build an editorial media profile that reflects what the founder has actually accomplished and positions it in front of the case officers and attorneys who need to see it.”

S99 PR’s founder-focused O-1 press program is built around the specific evidentiary criteria USCIS applies to startup and entrepreneurial applicants. Articles are developed to demonstrate field recognition, original contributions, and the significance of the founder’s work in context — not generic brand awareness content, but purposeful editorial coverage designed to support a petition’s press category with precision.

“The founders coming through Y Combinator and the top accelerators are building companies that are changing industries. The press they need for their O-1 petition should reflect that — credible, organic, and specific to what makes their work extraordinary.”
— J A K E V I N C E , S 9 9 P R

Each article placed through S99 PR’s visa press program meets a strict editorial standard: clear author attribution, visible publish date, no sponsored or contributor content tags, publication readership of 100,000 or more monthly visitors, and clean editorial formatting that presents as genuine third-party coverage. The agency works in close coordination with immigration attorneys, who present the resulting coverage as supporting evidence in the petition.

The timing dimension matters significantly for founder applicants. Press coverage assembled immediately before a filing date carries far less weight than a media profile built over several months. Founders are encouraged to begin the press development process early — ideally well before a petition is ready to file — so that the coverage can reflect a natural, organic pattern of public recognition rather than a rushed accumulation of articles.

“The founders who come to us early get the strongest outcomes,” Vince said. “We have enough time to build a media profile that looks exactly like what it should be: a founder whose work has been recognized, covered, and validated by the press independently. That is what USCIS is looking for. That is what we build.”

S99 PR does not guarantee visa approval and is not a law firm. Its role is to build the press and media category of an O-1 petition in the most credible and strategically effective form possible. The agency works with immigration attorneys throughout the process and does not provide legal advice.
