Questions clients bring to the first call
Wikipedia eligibility
How do you decide whether a company qualifies for Wikipedia?
We run a source-first assessment against Wikipedia's notability policy for organisations. The bar is independent, in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources — not press releases or sponsored content. If the source base is weak, we say so up front and recommend an alternative route (Wikidata, Simple English Wikipedia, or another language edition).
Which subjects do you not take on?
Subjects with insufficient independent media coverage, brands that have already been deleted with no new sources, and any work that would require violating Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest or paid-editing policies.
What counts as a reliable source?
Independent media that has a clear editorial policy and is generally regarded as reliable for the subject matter. We follow the Wikipedia community's reliable-sources guidance and the perennial-sources list. Trade press, regional outlets and academic publications often count; press-release wires, sponsored content and affiliate blogs do not.
Do press releases count as sources?
No. Press releases are self-published — they originate from the company itself or from PR distribution wires, regardless of which outlet republishes them. The same applies to founder LinkedIn posts, contributed "thought leadership" pieces, and sponsored articles. None of them establish notability on their own, no matter how many you have.
Our coverage is mostly in trade press — does that work?
Often yes, but it depends on the outlet. Established trade publications with a real editorial team and a track record of independent reporting are accepted for NCORP purposes; pay-to-play industry sites and contributor-network pages are not. Source audit tells us which side of the line each outlet sits on before we commit to drafting.
Process & timelines
How long does a Wikipedia page take?
Typically 3-4 weeks from contract signature: briefing and source audit, drafting, your review and approval, then gradual publication and the 90-day monitoring window.
What happens after the page is published?
Every published page comes with 90 days of monitoring at no extra cost — we respond to edits, tags, and flag attempts during that window. After 90 days the page transfers fully to your responsibility unless you've enrolled in one of our annual support plans (€420 / €750 / €1,200 / €3,500 / year). Without ongoing support we no longer hold responsibility for what happens to the page after the 90-day window closes.
How are edits made on existing pages?
Small, gradual edits by experienced editors over several days, with talk-page hygiene. We avoid bursty changes that look promotional and trigger reverts.
You don't translate — you "localise". What does that mean?
Each language edition of Wikipedia is its own community with its own sourcing expectations. A literal translation of the English article almost always fails review elsewhere. We rewrite for the target edition: integrate sources in the local language, adjust which facts belong in the lede, drop or expand sections to match what that community treats as encyclopedic. Same subject, different article — that's localisation.
Pricing
What does a Wikipedia page cost?
English company pages start at €1,930 (personal €1,300). German and other Tier-1 languages are €1,450 / €1,100. 40 Tier-2 languages including Ukrainian, French and Spanish are €1,220 / €1,000. Tier-3 starts at €780; Tier-4 from €600. Full per-language table on the pricing page.
Do you discount multi-language portfolios?
Yes. Multi-language Wikipedia rollouts share a research and source pack, which compounds savings. The agency white-label discount scales with order size: 2 pages 5%, 3 → 7%, 4 → 10%, 5+ → 12%; beyond 10 pages we quote a custom rate — talk to sales.
What payment methods do you accept?
SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, Payoneer, PayPal, Visa / Mastercard, and USDT (TRC-20).
Why does an English Wikipedia page cost more than other languages?
English is the flagship edition: highest visibility, strictest sourcing review, the largest community of patrollers, and the strongest impact on Google and AI systems. The volunteer scrutiny on an English draft is materially heavier than on most other editions, which means more research, more cited sources, and more reviewer time on our side. The price reflects that workload, not a markup.
Guarantees & risk policy
Do you guarantee that a page will be published?
No — and we don't believe anyone should. Wikipedia is an independent community with its own editorial review. What we do guarantee is a risk-managed process: we don't recommend going to publication unless the source base supports notability, and we run a 93% success rate on the pages we do take on.
What if a page is deleted after publication?
Within the 90-day monitoring window, we defend the page and republish if necessary. If we fail to restore a deleted page after three attempts within that window, we refund 80% of the project fee.
Can you guarantee a Google Knowledge Panel?
No. Knowledge Panels are driven by Google's own systems, fed in part by Wikidata and Wikipedia. Our work materially raises the probability that a panel appears, but Google makes the final call.
Do you disclose that you're paid to edit Wikipedia?
Yes — on every project, every time. The Wikimedia Terms of Use require paid contributors to disclose the contributing firm, the client, and the intended beneficiary. We disclose on the editor's user page, on the article talk page at creation, and in edit summaries during the work. This is non-negotiable. We refuse projects that ask us to hide the relationship — undisclosed paid editing is the single most common reason this kind of work gets banned and pages get deleted.
Annual support & monitoring
Do I need annual support after a page is published?
Strongly recommended. The 90-day post-publication monitoring is bundled into every page-creation project. After that window the page transfers fully to your responsibility — we no longer monitor or defend it unless you're on an annual plan. Wikipedia doesn't protect the page subject; bad-faith edits can happen without notification. Annual support catches issues early before they become disputes.
Which plan is right for my page?
Annual (€420) for stable, low-attention pages. Managed Protection (€750) is the default for most brands. Premium (€1,200) when speed of reaction matters or the page gets edited often. Enterprise (€3,500) for legal / PR / compliance environments with reporting needs.
Can I cover multiple language editions on one plan?
Yes — we quote per-page within a portfolio. Typical setups mix Premium for English with Managed or Annual for secondary languages.
AI visibility
Why does Wikipedia matter for ChatGPT and AI search?
Large language models and AI answer engines weight high-authority encyclopedic sources heavily. Brands that exist on Wikipedia and Wikidata are cited consistently and accurately; brands that don't are paraphrased or skipped.
How is AI visibility different from SEO?
SEO optimises a page you control. AI visibility builds the source base AI systems read about you — Wikipedia, Wikidata, Reddit threads, Quora answers, structured media. The work is editorial and source-first, not technical.
Can you guarantee your brand will appear in ChatGPT answers?
No — model providers control their own retrieval and training. We can build the source infrastructure that materially raises the probability, and we monitor how major AI systems describe your brand over time.
Can we get a Google Knowledge Panel without a Wikipedia page?
Sometimes. A well-structured Wikidata entity, paired with consistent independent coverage and clean schema markup on your owned properties, can be enough to trigger a panel for a sufficiently well-known subject. But Wikipedia remains by far the strongest single signal, and panels generated without it are thinner and more volatile. If a Wikipedia page isn't on the table yet, we'll start with Wikidata + source-base work and tell you honestly what coverage that gets you.
B2B & agencies
Do you work with PR and SEO agencies?
Yes. Two models: 20% referral cashback (you refer, we deliver and pay you), or white-label (we deliver behind your branding, you keep the client). NDAs supported.
What's the volume discount?
1 client at full price; 2 clients at 10% off; 3+ clients at 25% off. Negotiated SLAs available for ongoing partnerships.
Can we co-sign deliverables with our agency name?
Yes — both white-label and co-branded options exist. We adapt to your client communication style.

Refund 80% of the project fee if a deleted page cannot be restored after 3 attempts in the 90-day window.
We won't
Guarantee Wikipedia publication. Wikipedia is an independent community with its own editorial review.
We won't
Promise a Google Knowledge Panel. Google's systems make that call — we materially raise the probability.
We won't
Claim to inject content into ChatGPT or any other model. We build the source infrastructure AI systems read.
