How fast can you get me published?
Most clients see their first placement live within 48 to 72 hours of kickoff. Forbes, Bloomberg, and Entrepreneur take five to ten business days because editors review every submission before it runs. You approve the draft before anything goes public. Our case studies break down timelines by outlet tier.
What publications do you place in?
The network covers 1,000+ outlets: Forbes, USA Today, Bloomberg, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, Fox News affiliates, NBC affiliates, LA Weekly, and dozens of regional news sites. You pick the outlet from the available list before we write the article. If you want the starter tier, the $49 Featured News Story page lists the regional desks we work with most often.
Is this guaranteed or pay-for-play?
It's guaranteed placement. We hold contributor seats and editorial relationships at each outlet. You pay after you approve the outlet, the angle, and the draft. No placement, no charge.
How is this different from a press release?
A press release is a pitch. We deliver a published feature article on the outlet's website, with your brand as the subject, a real byline, and a permanent URL. It stays live, it ranks in Google, and it surfaces inside AI search answers. For the deeper mechanics, read How to Write a Press Release on the journal.
Who writes the articles?
Our in-house writers draft the piece and a senior editor reviews it before submission. You approve the angle and the final draft before publication. You can also send your own draft if you want us to polish and place that instead.
Do placements get indexed by Google and cited by AI models?
Yes. Outlets in our network have high domain authority and strong crawl frequency, so most pieces index within 48 hours. Every article ships with AEO formatting baked in: clear headings, question-and-answer structure, and entity markup that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews pull into their answers. Our AEO & SEO services page walks through the methodology.
What do I get for $49 versus a higher-tier campaign?
The $49 feature gets you one published article on a regional news outlet in our starter tier. Larger campaigns include tier-one outlets like Forbes and Bloomberg, syndication across multiple publications, and bundled services like Google Knowledge Panel verification or GoogleMe personal branding. Pricing scales with outlet size and deliverables.
Can I pick the outlet, or do you assign one?
You pick. Before we write, you see the live outlet options, their domain authority, their monthly traffic, and their niche. You choose which one fits your brand and audience. Read the Forbes contributor breakdown for a detailed look at one tier-one outlet.
