FAQ

Brand Featured helps businesses build trust and visibility by getting featured on top-tier news platforms like AP News, Yahoo! Finance, Business Insider, and more.

We write your press release for you, handle the full distribution, and then send you a report with live links you can use for credibility, SEO, and marketing. No hype — just real media exposure that builds brand authority.

Publishing a press release yourself can be time-consuming and often limits your exposure to low-quality outlets.

Brand Featured gives you access to premium media sites that are normally inaccessible without an agency connection.

We take care of the writing, formatting, and distribution, ensuring your article meets editorial guidelines and reaches audiences across major news platforms. Plus, we offer guidance on how to maximize the value of your media coverage.

Unlike many PR services that offer exaggerated guarantees or low-quality mass distribution, we focus on writing and distributing a credible, well-positioned story to real media outlets with strong reputations.

Our team carefully crafts your message to align with editorial standards — increasing the likelihood of meaningful placements without overpromising.

We work with startups, marketing agencies, e-commerce brands, coaches, and consultants who want to build trust, improve conversions, and grow their authority.

If you’re looking for real credibility — not just vanity metrics — Brand Featured is built for you.

To maintain editorial standards and compliance with our media partners, we do not accept press releases that promote illegal products or services, adult content, unverified medical claims, gambling, or misleading financial promises.

After checkout, we’ll send a short intake form that asks about your business, offer, goals, and key messaging.

You don’t need to overthink it — our writers will craft a compelling, professionally written piece based on your answers.

Yes, you can — but be aware that many AI-generated drafts need editing to meet editorial standards. If you prefer to use AI as a starting point, we’re happy to help refine the content to make sure it’s media-ready.

We use AI tools internally to enhance research and speed up first drafts — but every article is edited by a professional writer to ensure accuracy, tone, and alignment with your brand.

You get the best of both worlds: AI efficiency with human creativity and editorial polish.

Most media outlets do not accept images with press releases.

However, if your plan includes multi-platform publishing (like blog or podcast promotion), we may request a logo, headshot, or product image in high resolution (PNG or JPG, under 2MB).

Yes! You’ll have the opportunity to review and approve your article before we distribute it.

We won’t move forward until you’re satisfied with the final draft.

No. We distribute a single version of your press release across all media partners.

This ensures consistency and helps with SEO by syndicating the same authoritative message across multiple high-DA platforms.

Unfortunately, once an article is published across our media network, it cannot be edited.

This is because we syndicate to dozens of outlets at once.

However, we can issue a correction or updated version as a new press release if needed.

Your article will be published on a curated list of high-authority media sites such as Yahoo! Finance, AP News partner sites, MarketWatch affiliates, and more — depending on the package you select.

We provide a sample distribution list on our website, and after publishing, you'll receive a detailed report with live links. Want the full list?

Happy to send it to you! Just get in touch.

No, the articles are typically published on regional affiliates of major networks — not their main national homepage.

For example, you'll appear on FOX or NBC local news partner sites, which still hold strong domain authority and SEO value.

We always aim for transparency about where your article will appear.

Not exactly. While we can guarantee placement across a defined network of trusted outlets, the exact list varies slightly by region, topic, and editorial acceptance.

However, every outlet included in your package meets our minimum standards for credibility and SEO impact.

In most cases, yes — especially on top-tier sites that follow strict disclosure policies.

It may be marked as “Sponsored,” “Brand Content,” or “Press Release.”

This is standard practice and does not diminish your article’s value — readers still see your name in a trusted media outlet.

Most articles remain live indefinitely.

While we can’t control if a site decides to remove older content years later, we partner with networks known for keeping press releases available long-term.

We’ve built relationships with credible, high-DA media partners.

Every outlet in our network is vetted to ensure it adds real value in terms of SEO, trust, and online visibility — not just filler placements.

Use your published article as a trust asset — add it to your homepage, share it on social media, feature it in email campaigns, and use media logos in your marketing.

We also provide optional consulting to help you turn your media exposure into long-term brand equity and conversions.

While you can write and publish content on your blog, it won’t carry the weight or authority of getting featured on a major news site.

Brand Featured connects you to high-DA media partners that are not typically accessible to individuals.

We also ensure your content meets editorial standards, is SEO-optimized, and positioned to support your business goals.

Press coverage builds trust, improves visibility, and supports long-term branding.

However, it’s not designed to replace paid advertising or deliver instant sales.

PR is a credibility tool — not a direct-response marketing channel. It works best when combined with strong offers, funnels, and consistent marketing.

Yes — we offer custom “As Seen On” badge graphics with most plans.

These can include the logos of the media outlets your article appears on, and are perfect for your website, landing pages, or social proof banners.

We offer insights on how to align your feature with brand campaigns, sales funnels, LinkedIn positioning, and even podcast or investor outreach.

That includes writing your press release, reviewing and approving the draft, and distributing it to our media partners.

Once published, you’ll receive a full report with all your live links.

After you approve the draft, publication usually takes place within a few business days.

In some cases, your article may appear on certain sites within 24 hours, while others may take slightly longer due to editorial queues.

Yes. Our media placements come from sites with high domain authority, and we include backlinks that can support your website’s SEO.

While PR is not a quick SEO fix, it strengthens your digital footprint, increases trust signals, and can improve search visibility over time — especially when combined with other efforts.

Most media sites include either do-follow or mixed-link structures.

While not every link is do-follow due to editorial policies, the authority of the sites we publish on means even no-follow links still contribute to visibility, trust, and referral traffic.

It’s unlikely that one press release alone will rank your website on page one of Google.

However, your article itself may rank for branded or niche keywords, and it helps establish your authority in Google's eyes over time — especially when combined with ongoing SEO.

Media features can drive qualified referral traffic, especially if the content is timely and includes a strong call to action.

While it shouldn’t replace paid ads or SEO, PR works great as part of a broader traffic and trust-building strategy.

Press features from high-authority media sites are often considered strong supporting evidence when applying for verification on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).

While we can’t guarantee verification, many of our clients have successfully used our links to support their applications.

Yes — once your article is published, you can proudly display the logos of the outlets you were featured in under “As Seen On” or “Featured In.”

This is one of the most effective ways to build immediate trust with new customers or clients.

Use your published article as a trust asset — add it to your homepage, share it on social media, feature it in email campaigns, and use media logos in your marketing.

We also provide optional consulting to help you turn your media exposure into long-term brand equity and conversions.
