The problem

A large share of category answers are assembled from pages written by someone else about your market. You cannot edit those pages, and you probably do not know which ones matter.

Outreach without that list is a guess. You pitch the publications you have heard of, rather than the handful the engines actually pull from when a buyer asks who the best option is.

How it works

01
Publisher domains are separated from community Editorial and publisher sources are grouped apart, because earning a placement on one is a completely different job from joining a discussion.
02
Pages are classified by type A listicle you can ask to join. A review you have to earn. A comparison written by a competitor is a different problem again.
03
Inclusion is checked For each cited page we record whether you are on it and which competitors are, so the gap is explicit.
04
Outreach is prioritised Pages cited most often, where you are absent and a competitor is present, rank first. Export and work down the list.

Who it's for

Teams running PR or partnerships who need their outreach list decided by citation data rather than by domain authority.

How to close a third-party gap

Three approaches, in rough order of effort.

Fastest Ask to be added Many listicles and alternatives pages accept submissions or corrections. If the page is already cited, inclusion has immediate effect.
Medium Earn a review Slower and more valuable, because an independent assessment corroborates specific claims rather than just listing you.
Slowest Build the relationship Publications that cover your category repeatedly are worth a real relationship rather than a one-off pitch.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as third-party? Editorial and publisher domains: listicles, reviews, comparison articles, alternatives pages and news coverage. Anything where a publisher rather than a community wrote the page.
Do you do the outreach? No. Zadoosh produces the prioritised list and tracks whether inclusion changed your visibility. The outreach is yours or your agency’s.
Why classify by page type? Because effort and payoff differ enormously. Getting added to a cited listicle can take an email. Earning a review takes a quarter.
How do I know it worked? The page stays in the view. Once you are included, you can watch whether the prompts it is cited for start naming you.
