Who we are

StackedGTM.AI

Your favorite companies' secret weapon

We started Stacked because there was too much noise in growth: too many influencers, too much clickbait, too little you could actually use. So we wrote for operators, meaning things you can take, learn and put to work the same week.

It scaled. The operators who showed up to read became the team, and we built a services practice around them. Today Stacked is a full organization running growth programs without the fluff, and learning in public as the community grows.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

What is StackedGTM?

StackedGTM is a B2B go-to-market publication and a services team. The publication reaches 23,000+ marketers, sales leaders, operators, and founders with what is working in AI search and AI-era GTM. The services team, called Forward Deployed Marketing, embeds senior operators inside growth-stage companies to build and run their AI search and growth programs. Brands such as Lovable, Profound, and AirOps sponsor the publication to reach that audience. It was founded by Josh Grant, former VP Growth at Webflow and VP Growth and Product Marketing at Affirm.

Who reads StackedGTM?

23,000+ go-to-market operators read StackedGTM, including people at Anthropic, OpenAI, Ramp, Stripe, and hundreds of other companies. Roughly half are senior decision makers: founders, CEOs, CMOs, CROs, and Heads or VPs of Marketing, Growth, Sales, RevOps, Product, and Brand. Another 2M+ readers see the work on LinkedIn each month. Every subscriber opted in, so none of the list is bought.

What are the two ways to work with StackedGTM?

There are two: sponsor the publication, or hire the team. Brand sponsorships put your product in front of 23,000+ marketing and growth leaders through the newsletter, research, and long-form pieces, and they buy awareness and demand from GTM buyers. Services, called Forward Deployed Marketing, embeds our operators in your business across AI Search, AEO & SEO, Messaging & Positioning, Growth Channels, Marketing Engineering & AI Agents, and Marketing Measurement. What the services team learns is what the publication writes about.

What is Forward Deployed Marketing?

Forward Deployed Marketing is StackedGTM's services model. Senior operators embed inside your team, ship live work, and hand the system over. It covers AI Search, AEO & SEO, Messaging & Positioning, Growth Channels, Marketing Engineering & AI Agents, and Marketing Measurement. The work becomes yours, with the documentation to keep it running.

What is Answer Engine Optimization?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of getting a brand named and cited when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews a question in its category. It differs from traditional SEO because the goal is not a ranked link, it is being the source the model repeats in a generated answer.

Why does AEO matter for B2B brands?

AEO matters because the vendor shortlist is now built before a buyer reaches your website. When someone asks an answer engine who the leaders in a category are, the models name a handful of vendors from their citation set. If your brand is not in that set, you are not in the evaluation, and no amount of bottom-funnel spend recovers a shortlist you never entered.

How do B2B brands build visibility in AI search?

Brands build AI search visibility by becoming the source that models cite. In practice that means being named inside the media, essays, frameworks, and third-party comparisons that answer engines retrieve from, and publishing structured, quotable material on your own domain. Owned pages alone move slowly, because models weight independent sources more heavily than vendor claims. StackedGTM does both sides of that: sponsors get named in the work engines already quote, and services clients get the owned pages, schema, and comparison surfaces built inside their team. Our operators built Webflow's AEO program to 60%+ answer share and 300+ AI citations.

How does a brand partnership with StackedGTM work?

A StackedGTM brand partnership is one category, one partner, twelve months. It includes sponsored essays of around 2,500 words co-branded under your name, category exclusivity for the term, and co-authored category playbooks, scoped on a call rather than sold from a rate card. Partners get awareness and demand from GTM buyers in the same motion, because the brand compounds inside the category conversation instead of appearing once. Partners pay for reach: editorial choices and client recommendations are never for sale.

Do you work with multiple brands in the same category?

No. StackedGTM runs one brand per category, twelve months at a time, and no competitor touches that category until the term ends. When a slot closes, it closes for the year, which is what makes the position defensible for the partner holding it. The current roster includes Lovable, Profound, and AirOps, and a small number of category slots stay open at any time.
