Агентство GCW запустило лицензирование SignlLabs для повышения видимости брендов в нейросетях

News provided by GCW Partners, LLC Sep 09, 2026, 14:28 ET Licensees gain a ready-built methodology for earning client visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Perplexity, without building an AI Signaling practice from scratch NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Communication Works (GCW), the strategic public relations and communications agency, today announced that SignlLabs™, its proprietary AI Signaling practice, is now available for license to any organization responsible for how a brand is understood and recommended, including public relations firms, advertising agencies, web development and digital shops, marketing consultancies and in-house communications teams. The license gives licensees a complete, tested methodology for measuring and improving how AI platforms describe, trust and recommend their clients. Clients and executive teams are asking the same question: do we show up in AI. Until now, the people being asked have had to reverse-engineer an answer or guess at one. The SignlLabs license replaces the guess with a scored instrument, and it moves the goal from being visible to being recommended. "Any team responsible for a brand's reputation can now license SignlLabs, whether that is an agency, a consultancy or an in-house department, and give its clients or its own company a measurable path to being recommended by AI instead of trying to reverse-engineer one," said Brad Ginsburg, Partner and President at GCW. "This is not about protecting a competitive advantage. It is about setting the standard the whole industry can build on." SignlLabs measures a brand's presence and recommendation strength across the five answer engines buyers now use to decide who to hire and what to buy: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Perplexity. The practice was built from the ground up for how AI systems compose answers, rather than adapted from existing search tactics, and it has been running across GCW's own client campaigns before being opened to outside licensees. At the center of the license is the Maturity Method™, GCW's proprietary measurement framework. It produces a Signaling Maturity Score™  from 0 to 100 across six weighted dimensions: Foundation, Endorsement, Alignment, Presence, Warmth and Constancy. Scores map to a five-stage maturity ladder that runs from Unseen to The Answer, and every engine is scored separately and never blended, because an average conceals the one platform that stopped recommending a brand. "Every agency I talk to is getting the same question from clients: are we showing up in AI?," said Erika Hanafin Austria, lead of SignlLabs. "Most of them are guessing at the answer. Licensing SignlLabs means they stop guessing. They get a number, they get the six things that move it, and they get a re-score that proves whether the work actually worked. It took a year and five industries to calibrate this. No agency should have to repeat that." The distinction matters because the mechanics have changed. Search engine optimization earns rankings. Answer Engine Optimization earns snippets. AI Signaling earns the recommendation itself, and the sources that drive it are overwhelmingly earned rather than owned. Licensees receive the Maturity Method™ framework and scoring rubric, the Intent Category Framework™ that determines which buyer questions get tested, the query protocol and measurement approach, reporting templates, and team training. GCW will continue to support licensees as the AI platforms evolve, keeping the methodology current as recommendation behavior changes. The license is available to organizations of any size and in any category. Interested parties can contact GCW directly to discuss terms.
