Stacker Connect
Brand stories worth citing, from newsrooms to AI search
About Stacker Connect
Stacker Connect is a content distribution platform designed to drive earned media at scale for brands. It combines a content optimization engine with a proprietary network of 3,000+ vetted publishers to syndicate brand editorial stories, earning genuine editorial placements rather than paid ad insertions. On average, each story earns 50+ publisher pickups across trusted domains, building credibility signals that AI search engines prioritize when generating responses. An independent study of 10,000 AI-generated responses found that content distributed through Stacker was cited 2.4 times more often than content published only on brand-owned domains. The platform offers tiered subscription plans — Core, Growth, and Scale — each including story distribution, team portal access, performance reporting, and varying levels of strategic planning support and analytics. Brands submit stories that Stacker's editorial team optimizes for reach and reviews for quality before distributing to its publisher network. Stacker Connect also provides AI citation tracking, story roadmaps, trending topic planners, and on-demand strategy support depending on plan tier. For publishers, Stacker offers free access to a curated story library, enabling newsrooms to fill content gaps at no cost. AiDOOS can accelerate adoption of Stacker Connect by helping brands rapidly staff content teams, editorial strategists, and distribution specialists needed to maximize the platform's capabilities.
Challenges It Solves
- Brands struggle to earn editorial media coverage at scale without relying on paid placements or traditional PR outreach
- Brand-owned content is less likely to be cited by AI search engines compared to content published on high-authority third-party domains
- Marketing teams lack scalable infrastructure to distribute data-driven stories to thousands of vetted publishers simultaneously
- Measuring the impact of earned media on AI search visibility and brand authority is difficult without specialized analytics tools
