## Channels

- [Reddit Resident Network](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/reddit/): Reddit is the single most-cited social platform in Google organic results, AI Overviews and Perplexity for crypto, fintech and iGaming category queries. We make sure the threads Google links to are the ones you want buyers to read. Deployed through aged accounts (2–5 years, 2,000+ karma) inside 12 target subreddits. ~150 in-context brand mentions and ~50 canonical long-form threads per month tuned for SEO and LLM citation. 24/7 brand monitoring with a 30-minute FUD response SLA.
- [X Shilling Network](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/x/shilling/): Narrative engineering on crypto Twitter. The job is to make crypto Twitter look like everyone is talking about a client's project. ~100 blue-tick crypto-native residents seed independent posts, quote and reply to each other, and pull the project into trending threads. The algorithm reads it as real category momentum and amplifies it; real accounts then pick it up and the seeded layer disappears under the organic one. 4,000+ monthly replies under human review. 5-minute SLA when a category news cycle hits, so the seeded narrative becomes the lens those news beats get framed in.
- [X Influencer Network](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/x/kol/): 20 influencer personas with a 12-month authority arc and niche exclusivity (one brand per influencer per category). By Month 12 each account stably pulls 25K niche followers and ~5M monthly impressions at ~6% engagement. 2–3 long-form posts and ~50 contextual replies per voice per day, plus Spaces participation. Phase-3 voices close critical FUD through earned authority within 5 minutes.
- [LinkedIn Resident Network](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/linkedin/): 20 B2B-titled residents (Heads of Treasury, VP Engineering, Founders) running three modules in parallel: ~300 long-form posts, ~3,000 expert comments under category CEOs and ~2,000 outreach touches (InMail + connections) per month. Qualified replies handed straight into the client's BD/CRM with thread summary and ICP match note. Typical outcome: 15–25 qualified leads per month.

## Intent landings

- [Crypto Launch on X](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/crypto-launch/): Launch-window flavour of the X Shilling Network, packaged for pre-TGE warming, launch-day amplification and listing-ready socials. Same blue-tick crypto-resident pool, scoped to the 21-day window around a token launch. Entry tier from $3K / 5,000 touches. 5-minute SLA on exchange listing rumours, audit drops and regulatory news. Pool runs across L1/L2, DeFi, DePIN, AI subnets, stables, RWA and memecoin verticals.
- [Crypto Community on X](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/crypto-community/): Always-on standing pool for crypto protocols, AI subnets and mature token projects after launch. ~300 weekly touches at steady state across 7 trigger types (price moves, governance drops, audit drops, regulatory shifts, exchange events, cashtags, brand mentions). Every response goes through your Review queue before publish, typical approval rate 94%. 5-minute FUD response SLA. Built for narrative defence, holder explanation and category share-of-voice held month over month.

## What we are not

- Not paid ads, banner placements, or sponsored posts.
- Not a single-influencer agency selling 48-hour shoutouts.
- Not a cold outbound SDR-as-a-service shop.
- Not a bot army or fake-review farm. Residents have multi-year account history, niche-active posting trails, and every brand mention is human-reviewed before publish.

## Proof

- Crypto non-custodial swap, Reddit, 90 days: four canonical threads ranking on Google page one within one quarter, 12 Perplexity citations gained after campaign end, 220K cumulative thread reach.
- iGaming crash-game launch, X, 11 days: 4,000 replies, 150K thread reach, 88% relevance, one top reply pulled 1,844 impressions in 24 hours.
- X Influencer build, 12 months: persona grown to 25K niche followers, ~5M monthly impressions, ~6% engagement. Brand-favourable takes landing 10–15×/mo through earned authority, plus Spaces co-hosting and sub-5-minute Phase-3 FUD response.
- B2B fintech, LinkedIn, full-cycle pool: ~21 qualified inbound demos per month, 42 saved-post mentions per quarter, posts cited by Perplexity for B2B settlement-provider queries.

Here is the exact process one operator and one AI agent run on this blog, intent to publish, what the AI leads, and the two human gates that decide whether a page ranks.
- [Where Does ChatGPT Get Its Information? The 2026 Source Breakdown](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/where-does-chatgpt-get-its-information/) (AI search, 2026-06-10): AI does not read the whole web evenly. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Grok each lean on a tiny, concentrated set of sources, with Reddit at the top. Here is the verified source breakdown, engine by engine, and what it means for whether your brand shows up in the answer.
- [How to Get Reddit Karma: What We Learned Running 200 Accounts](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/how-to-get-reddit-karma/) (Reddit, 2026-06-09): Most karma guides repeat the same safe advice. This one is built from a test across 200 Reddit accounts: the daily limits by account type, the formats that actually earn karma, the repost trick that pulls thousands, and what quietly gets you flagged.

- [Reddit Marketing in 2026: How Brands Actually Earn a Place](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-marketing/) (Reddit, 2026-06-09): Reddit marketing stopped being post-and-hope. Reddit threads now sit on Google's first page and get cited inside AI answers more than any other platform. This is how the channel actually works in 2026: where ads fit, what earns a lasting presence, and what gets brands banned.
- [Reddit Shadowban: How to Check, Avoid and Recover in 2026](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-shadowban/) (Reddit, 2026-06-09): A Reddit shadowban is the invisible failure mode: your posts look live to you and nobody else sees them. This is the operator deep-dive on detecting one, the patterns that trigger it, and the three real ways out, from running roughly 200 accounts.
- [Vetting an X Distribution Vendor: the 10-Question Call](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/x-distribution-vendor-vetting-10-questions/) (X · shilling, 2026-06-01): Across 12 vendor due-diligence calls Swarm ran in Q1 2026, the average vendor answered 4.3 of 10 questions credibly on the first call. The price band had near-zero correlation with the score. The 10 questions that sort X distribution vendors into operator networks, KOL-only middlemen, and bot-farm resellers.
- [LinkedIn Lead Generation Agency Pricing: 2026 Breakdown](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/linkedin-lead-generation-agency-pricing-2026/) (LinkedIn · B2B, 2026-05-31): Four tier groups, four price ranges, four buyer profiles.

- [Reddit Reputation Management Pricing in 2026](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-reputation-management-pricing-2026/) (Reddit, 2026-05-31): Reddit reputation management splits into three pricing models in 2026: monitoring-only, retainer-with-response, and incident-priced. What each tier covers at $50-15,000/mo, what is not in the quote, and how to vet a vendor in 15 minutes.
- [What Does X Distribution Cost in 2026? Three Vendor Models](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/x-distribution-pricing-2026/) (X · shilling, 2026-05-31): X distribution vendors price-on-request because three operational models cost differently.

- [How to Read an X Distribution Vendor Report in 2026](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/how-to-read-an-x-distribution-vendor-report/) (X · shilling, 2026-05-28): Most monthly X distribution reports lead with impressions, engagement rate and follower count. Across the 9 vendor audits we ran in 2025-26 those four vanity metrics correlated with pipeline at r=0.14; reply-network-specific metrics at r=0.71. Here are the seven that actually work.
- [What's a Good LinkedIn Connection Rate in 2026?](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/linkedin-connection-acceptance-rate-benchmark-2026/) (LinkedIn · B2B, 2026-05-28): LinkedIn connection acceptance is an ICP-segmented distribution, not a single benchmark. The 40-account audit gives C-level at 16 per cent and IC at 54 per cent. Title seniority explains 60 per cent of variance. Calibrate against your peer band.
- [Reddit Bans GEO Spam Agencies: How to Vet AI Citation Vendors](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-bans-geo-spam-agencies/) (Reddit, 2026-05-28): Two GEO-agency subs got shut down this month, five more are on the watchlist, and Reddit is banning 100k spam accounts a day. Brand-owned subs aren't safe either. Here's the three-check audit your Reddit-residency vendor should pass on the next call.
- [The Claude Search Citation Gap: How to Close It in 2026](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/claude-search-citation-gap/) (AI search, 2026-05-27): Brand AI-citation audits skip Claude Search. In our Q1-Q2 2026 audits the Claude-Perplexity source overlap sat below 40 per cent. Three engines covered, one missed. The methodology that closes the gap: robots.txt, factual density, prompt audit.
- [Generative Engine Optimization Tools: What Each One Costs in 2026](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/geo-dashboards-pricing-2026/) (AI search, 2026-05-26): The 2026 generative engine optimization tools all sell the same polling primitive at wildly different prices: Profound from $499, Otterly $29, AthenaHQ $295, Ahrefs Brand Radar $828+. Here's what each GEO tool costs in mid-2026 and what you actually pay for.
- [The AI Silent Committee: Why Buyers Shortlist Vendors Before Visiting Your Website](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/ai-silent-committee/) (AI search, 2026-05-25): Your buyer may decide you are not relevant before they ever visit your website. They ask ChatGPT for options, Perplexity for comparisons, Reddit for trust. By the time they land on your homepage, the shortlist is half-formed. The AI Silent Committee is the layer that does this filtering.
- [Google Is Turning Search Into an AI Decision Layer. The Work Is Evidence.](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/google-search-ai-decision-layer/) (AI search, 2026-05-25): Google launched the May 2026 core update right after its biggest AI Search announcements at I/O. The two are probably the same story. Search is moving from matching pages to evaluating evidence, and the content that wins will be useful, extractable, fresh and backed by public sources.
- [SEO vs AEO vs GEO: How Brands Get Ranked, Quoted, and Recommended in AI Search](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/seo-vs-aeo-vs-geo/) (AI search, 2026-05-24): Search is no longer just a list of links. Brands compete across three layers: rankings, answers, and AI recommendations. Most marketing teams optimise for the first and ignore the other two, which is why CAC keeps rising while competitors keep showing up in AI shortlists.
- [Intent Marketing vs Performance Marketing. Why ChatGPT Ads Mark the Shift.](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/intent-marketing-vs-performance-marketing/) (AI search, 2026-05-23): OpenAI Ads Manager Beta dropped the $50K minimum, CPC bidding shipped, and Criteo reported LLM-referred traffic converting at 1.5x other channels. The catch: this is the first ad surface built around conversation intent rather than keyword intent, and it signals where the entire ad market is going.
- [How to get cited by Perplexity, ChatGPT and AI Overviews](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/how-to-get-cited-by-perplexity-chatgpt-ai-overviews/) (AI search, 2026-05-22): AI search now decides what most buyers learn about your brand before they ever visit your site. Most of the citations come from Reddit. Here's the 2026 playbook for getting your product inside those answers.
- [How to set up ChatGPT Ads in 2026 (Ads Manager + CPC guide)](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/how-to-set-up-chatgpt-ads/) (AI search, 2026-05-22): OpenAI Ads Manager Beta is live, CPC bidding shipped, and the JavaScript pixel is in production. The catch: ChatGPT Ads doesn't reward Google-style keyword logic. It rewards conversation intent. The setup, from access to first campaign.
- [Answer Engine Optimization Tools Won't Get You Cited (Here's What Does)](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/geo-dashboards-vs-acquisition/) (AI search, 2026-05-21): Answer engine optimization tools — Profound, Otterly, AthenaHQ, Peec, Hall, Semrush AI Toolkit and counting — all answer the same question: am I cited? None of them answers the harder one: how do I start being cited?
- [Reddit's AI ads cut CPA 15%. They won't fix your AEO.](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-ads-vs-aeo-problem/) (AI search, 2026-05-20): Reddit just expanded Max Campaigns, App Event Optimization and first-party attribution. The early data is real: –15% CPA, +28% conversions. None of it helps the harder question, whether ChatGPT and Perplexity mention you when a buyer asks.
- [AI SDR vs operator-voice outreach: the reply-rate math](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/ai-sdr-vs-operator-voice-outreach/) (LinkedIn · B2B, 2026-05-19): Apollo, Clay and Lemlist promise 2,000 personalized messages a week. Real reply rates sit at 1–3%. We compare templated AI outreach to operator-voice content side by side and show why one converts ten times the other.
- [Reddit Bot Detection: The Signals Mods Use, Read as a Playbook](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/bot-detection-checklist-is-our-playbook/) (Reddit, 2026-05-18): Reddit bot detection runs on public signals — Pangram, the Reddit Bot Detector repo, and the moderator threads in r/AskReddit all publish the same ones. Read them as a checklist of what NOT to do, and you have the brief for a resident network that mods don't pattern-match.
- [What signals does CoinMarketCap's AI ranking use? (2026)](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/coinmarketcap-ai-ranking-signals-2026/) (AI search, 2026-05-15): CMC AI openly confirms that it ingests crypto-related X posts as aggregate sentiment, trending keywords and coin-level snapshots. We asked it directly, then validated against 30 token launches in Q1 2026. Here's what actually moves the ranking.
- [Reddit owns Google for crypto queries. Here's how to live there.](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/reddit-owns-google-for-crypto/) (AI search, 2026-05-12): On every commercial crypto query ('[brand] review', '[brand] vs [competitor]', 'best non-KYC swap', 'is X legit'), a Reddit thread is on Google page one. Most brands do not realise their landing page is only the second result and that Reddit is upstream of every paid channel.
- [How crypto Twitter manufactures a trend (and how to be inside one)](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/manufactured-buzz-x-algorithm/) (X · shilling, 2026-05-05): The X algorithm and AI ranking engines like CoinMarketCap reward the same primitive: many independent voices talking about a project at the same time. Most crypto launches spend on the wrong signal and wonder why the trend never lifts. How the seeded-trend mechanic actually works.
- [Why cold DMs convert at 1% and operator profiles at 15%](https://swarm.notpeople.ai/blog/linkedin-full-cycle-b2b/) (LinkedIn · B2B, 2026-04-22): Cold DMs convert at 1 per cent on LinkedIn while operator-voice profiles convert at 15 per cent. The difference is what the prospect sees when they click your profile before they reply: posts, comments, credible posting history. Most SDR tools skip that part.
