Adfactors PR is one of India's largest and most established PR networks, well suited to large-scale corporate and financial mandates. Melivana is a focused agency built around SEO, AEO and LLM-led PR, so brands are cited by AI answer engines as well as covered in the press. The right choice depends on scale versus AI-era visibility.

What is the difference between Melivana and Adfactors PR?
Choosing a PR agency starts with the outcome you need, not the size of the logo. Adfactors PR is a large, long-established Indian network with deep reach across corporate, financial and public communication. For very large mandates that need scale and a broad national footprint, that heritage is a genuine strength.
Melivana takes a different approach. We are built for how discovery works now, blending earned media with SEO, answer engine optimisation and visibility inside large language models, so a brand is not just covered but cited when buyers ask an AI assistant. This comparison lays out the differences fairly so you can decide which fits your goals.

|---|---|---|
| Positioning | A large, established full-service PR network with a broad national footprint. | A focused PR agency built around SEO, answer engine optimisation and LLM visibility. |

| Where to consider them | When you need the scale and breadth of a large national network. | When visibility in Google, AI Overviews and LLM answers is a priority. |
The verdict
Both are credible choices for different needs. Adfactors PR is a strong fit when you need the scale, breadth and heritage of one of India's largest networks. Melivana is the modern, AI-visible choice for brands that want to be found and cited across search and AI answer engines, not just the traditional press. If earning coverage that also compounds into search rankings and LLM citations matters to you, that is the specific problem Melivana is built to solve, from offices in Kolkata and Mumbai.
