About Published.

We’re in the Fame Game

Published was founded on a simple belief:

Authority wins.

In search.
In media.
In business.

And increasingly, in AI.

Why We Exist

Search has changed.

For years, the SEO industry has operated in a grey area,  especially when it comes to backlinks. There is no shortage of backlink marketplaces, paid placements, private networks and artificial link schemes.

But buying links does not always build authority.

It can build dependency.

And in the age of AI-driven search engines, authority is no longer measured by links alone.

It is measured by:

  • Brand mentions
  • Credible publisher citations
  • Recognised expert commentary
  • Geographic visibility
  • Industry reputation

That’s where Published comes in.

We don’t sell shortcuts.

We build fame.

The Founders

Jack Genesin / Co-Founder

Jack is an SEO consultant with over 10 years of experience working across property, finance and high-growth digital brands.

He has seen firsthand how search has evolved, from keyword stuffing, to link acquisition, to content is king, and now to the rise of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).

Jack understands the technical architecture of search.

But more importantly, he understands its future.

AI engines surface brands they recognise and trust. The more frequently a brand is cited across credible media, the more likely it is to be recommended.

Published was built to capitalise on that shift.

Ollie Brazier / Co-Founder

Ollie brings over a decade of experience in paid social and performance advertising, specialising in building brand fame at scale on Meta platforms.

Where Jack understands search visibility, Ollie understands attention.

He has helped brands become visible to millions through structured ad strategy, audience amplification and campaign execution.

Together, they recognised a gap:

Brands were spending heavily on ads and backlinks.
But very few were investing in earned trust and authority.
Published bridges that gap.

Our Philosophy

Most agencies chase metrics.

We chase recognition.

You can rank number one and still be unknown.

You can buy backlinks and still not be trusted.

You can run ads and still not be a quoted industry expert.

Authority is built differently.

It is built when:

  • Journalists reference your data
  • Publishers quote your spokesperson
  • Industry conversations include your name
  • AI engines repeatedly see your brand cited

 

That is real visibility.

That is fame.

What We Do Differently

We are not a traditional PR agency.

We are not a backlink marketplace.

We are not a press release factory.

We build structured authority systems.

Through:

  • Data-led Fame Campaigns
  • Ongoing Authority Engine programs
  • Journalist Q&A monitoring
  • Digital Authority Assets (Link Magnets)

 

We position brands and their leaders as recognised industry authorities, nationally and within their local markets.

Fame in the AI Era

The future of search is generative.

When someone asks:

“Best mortgage broker in Melbourne”

“Top property adviser in Sydney”

“Most trusted wealth manager in Australia”

AI engines respond with brands they recognise.

Brands they have seen repeatedly cited.

Brands mentioned across credible publishers.

This is Generative Engine Optimisation. And fame compounds.

The Published Standard

We believe:

Authority should be earned.

Visibility should be strategic.

Fame should compound.

And the brands that dominate tomorrow will not be the ones with the most backlinks.

They will be the ones most frequently cited from the biggest and most credible publishers available in the industry.
