How TAN Makes Your Business Visible
From invisible to cited, in three steps
The Texas Authority Network™ covers your business in depth, keeps that coverage current and structures every fact so Google and AI answer engines can find it, trust it and name you. Here is exactly how it works, from your first free check to your monthly report.
Introduction to the Marketing Platform: Florida Authority Network
Brian French walks through how his Florida Authority Network™ works as a marketing platform. The Texas Authority Network™ is built on the same model, and a Texas video is coming soon.
How does TAN work?
From invisible to cited
Step by step, from first check to monthly report
Here is everything that happens behind those three steps.
- 1
Check your AI visibility
Run the free AI Visibility check. It looks at how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity describe your business today and shows whether AI recommends you or a competitor.
- 2
Choose your plan
Start with a free Registry Listing, a single $399 article, or a monthly online marketing campaign. Every plan is matched to your city and industry.
- 3
Share your business facts
You provide your verified name, address and phone, plus the facts that define your company. Figures you supply are labeled as data supplied by management, with the date.
- 4
We research and write
Technology gathers and organizes public information about your company, market and industry. TAN then drafts original, long-form coverage, never copied or repeated across the network.
- 5
A human analyst reviews each article
Brian French reviews each article, checks key facts against public records, and adds human insight and judgment before anything is published. This is our Human Insight + Tech Intelligent Curation method.
- 6
We publish across matched sites
Your coverage runs on the TAN city, regional and industry publications that fit your business, each piece written fresh for its site. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled. See our Standards page for details.
- 7
Your verified record goes live
Your business details are recorded on Texas Business Registry, giving search engines and AI one consistent, structured source of your core facts.
- 8
We keep you current and report results
Members get ongoing coverage and a monthly AI Visibility report showing where your business is being named.
Technology gathers. People judge. You stay in control.
TAN’s method, Human Insight + Tech Intelligent Curation, divides the work so each part is done by whoever does it best.
| Part of the work | Technology | Human analyst | You |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research | Gathers public data on your company, market and industry | Decides what matters and why | Share the facts only you know |
| Writing | Organizes facts and drafts long-form articles | Adds insight, context and judgment | Review your business details |
| Verification | Structures facts consistently | Checks key facts before publishing | Confirm your name, address and phone |
| Publishing | Applies schema markup and structured data | Matches coverage to the right sites | Choose your plan and, for One and Done, the timing |
| Reporting | Tracks where AI names your business | Explains what the results mean | Decide your next move |
Built for readers, Google and AI
TAN articles are long-form business news: in-depth, fact-checked, fully sourced and original. They give readers the full story and give AI engines the detail they need to recommend your business with confidence.
Your city and your industry, together
A business is strongest when it is covered by the business news of its city and by the news of its industry. TAN places you in both. A Dallas law firm, for example, belongs in DFWBusinessNews.com and TexasLawFirmNews.com.
Every article is written fresh for its publication, while your core facts stay identical everywhere. That consistency across independent sources is what gives AI the confidence to name you.
See all 35 publications →Visibility builds over time
Search engines and AI tools work on different schedules. Here is a realistic picture.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Day one | Your verified facts and first coverage are prepared and checked by a human analyst. |
| Days to a few weeks | Google typically indexes new TAN coverage. |
| Weeks to months | AI engines refresh on their own schedules and begin to reflect new coverage. |
| Every month | Members get fresh coverage and a monthly AI Visibility report showing where they are named. |
No publisher can guarantee a specific AI recommendation. Keeping coverage current month to month is what builds lasting visibility.

Questions about how TAN works
How does the Texas Authority Network work?
TAN publishes long-form, analyst-verified articles about your business across the Texas city and industry publications that fit you, keeps that coverage current, and structures your facts so search engines and AI answer engines can find and cite your business.
How soon will AI engines mention my business?
Google typically indexes new TAN coverage within days to a few weeks. AI engines refresh on their own schedules and can take longer, and no publisher can guarantee a specific AI recommendation. Keeping coverage current month to month builds visibility over time.
Do I have to write anything?
No. You share your verified business details and key facts. TAN researches, writes and publishes the coverage, and a human analyst reviews each article before it goes live.
Does TAN use AI to write articles?
Yes. AI helps TAN research public data, organize facts and draft long-form articles at scale. Brian French, a former investment manager and analyst, verifies the facts and adds human insight to every article before it publishes.
Which TAN sites will my business appear on?
Your coverage is placed on the TAN publications that match your city, region and industry. A Dallas law firm, for example, fits DFWBusinessNews.com and TexasLawFirmNews.com.
Is my coverage labeled as sponsored?
Yes. Paid coverage is always clearly labeled as sponsored. TAN keeps sponsored content under 30% on its city, region and industry news sites (press release sites are excluded and labeled instead; see our Standards page for details), which protects the credibility of every article, including yours.
Can I choose when my article is published?
Yes. With the One and Done article, you control the timing of publication. Monthly campaigns publish on a systematic schedule across the network.
What is the monthly AI Visibility report?
Members receive a monthly report showing where AI tools and search engines are naming their business. Deluxe members receive an enhanced version.
