How is my payment information secured?

For Paypal, you are directed to the PayPal website so payment information doesn't go through us at all. For credit cards, we use Stripe as the payment processor. Stripe is well-regarded in the payment process industry and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available.

Stripe and Brand Featured forces HTTPS to ensure your payment data is transmitted safely. HTTPS encrypts your information and verifies the integrity of traffic between your browser and the destination server.

We not do store your payment information on our servers. All information is sent to Stripe, which is then encrypted on disk with AES-256. Brand Featured is given a unique identification key which is how we reference to your payment information when requesting charges with Stripe.

More information on Stripe's security practices can be found on their website. Third-party information on Stripe can be found on its Wikipedia page.

How will I be billed?

You can pay via credit card or Paypal on the checkout page. Credit card information is verified and secured by Stripe.

Can I see the end result of getting published?

Yes! Please watch our in-depth walkthrough from purchase to finish that shows the PDF you will receive with the live URLs to your published article:


Will my published article be a blog article or a press release?

As we are publishing to our news network, they will be categorized as press releases.

Can I publish it myself? Why do I need to go through you?

You do have the option to reach out to each news station individually, but most likely you won't get published because they typically only work with clients who can provide a bulk number of articles per month. It would take you many months / years to build a network of over 100 new sites from scratch.

Can I make revisions after it has been published?

Unfortunately no, once it has been released it is in the hands of each news site that has published it.

How long does it take for my article to appear live online?

Assuming the article is written, less than 4 days.

How long will my article stay live on the news sites?

As with any news announcement, your article has a "shelf life" - the news gets "old". The time it stays on a website is determined by each news site, and Brand Featured does not remove your press release at any time unless it violates our terms of service. Some news sites remove them after 2 years, some after 90 days. Some host them indefinitely. The fact that you have been featured will always be true and you can proudly claim that as long as you like.

Are the published backlinks follow or nofollow?

As per Google's best practice guidelines, we send them out as 'nofollow'. Top SEO experts agree that nofollow backlinks are actually good for SEO. See this google search .

Every search result on there states that nofollow improves SEO, some with case studies they've tested. Our own customers have also reported higher SEO rankings after getting Brand Featured. See our reviews for more info.

Will I be published on the main website of NBC, NBC etc?

You won't be published to the main website (for example fox.com) as those are reserved for national headline news. But you will be published to local affiliates such as FOX 28, FOX 43 etc which are the official sites for the TV stations. For example, FOX 43 is for channel 43 in a specific city and is part of the FOX news network. It's similar to getting published in a local newspaper.

Will you rewrite my article if I'm not happy with it?

We try to get it right the first time, but if revisions are needed our Pro package includes 2 free revisions and our Unlimited package has unlimited revisions.

How many words will my article be?

If we write it, it will have a 200 word body, a headline, and subheadline. If you want to provide the article, it must be between 200-500 words.

Can I have images, videos or URLs in my article

You can include 1 image (optional), which can be your logo or a featured image. These must be uploaded separately to your article.

What topic should my article be about?

It can be just a general announcement of your business, talking about the features and benefits. Or it can any newsworthy topic, for example about a new product you just launched.

I want to write my own article. What are the guidelines?

- The article must be between 200-500 words.

- Your article can have no more than 1 link per 100 words.

- The headline must include the company's name.

- The article cannot be written like a sales pitch, it must be neutral/informational.

- The article must have a specific topic, no general articles allowed.

- Avoid bullet point lists or fragmented texts as they will not be accepted by some news outlets.

- Exclude contact info from the article as you will be uploading that separately.

- Must be in English.

Will I get to check the article before it's published?

Yes, after we write the article we can go through up to 2 rounds of revisions before it's published for the Pro package, or unlimited revisions for the Unlimited package.

Will the article you write about my business be unique?

Yes, our professional writing staff will first research your business, then write a custom article highlighting your business in the best light, with links back to your site.

Will you write the article or do I need to?

It's your choice: the Basic package is lower priced but you need to write the article that we'll publish. While the Pro and Unlimited packages have the article professionally written for you.

What do you need from me to write my article?

Many writers require lengthy questionnaires from you that waste your time. We only require 3 things: your website, the topic you want the article to be about, and 1-2 quotes that best describe your business. We'll do the research to form your article with just that information.

Do you offer white labeling as a service?

Yes we do. Please contact us for more details.

When I log in I see three products with different referral links. What does this mean?

You can use any of the referral links and even if they buy a different package (for example they clicked your Basic Package link but bought the Pro Package), you'll still get the purchase commission.

When I sign up it says for the Basic Package only. How do I get referral links for the Pro & Unlimited packages?

When you sign up to be an affiliate of the Basic Package, you will be automatically signed up for the Pro & Unlimited packages. So you can just share your one referral link and it will work for whatever package they buy.

The sign up says I'm signing up with Thrivecart. Who are they?

Thrivecart is just the platform we use to build our affiliate dashboard. Kind of like how Wordpress is a platform used to host blogs.

How are referrals tracked?

After someone clicks on your referral link, a cookie is tracked on the visitor and will be active for 7 days. If they purchase within this period, you will earn a commission. We use a last click model, meaning the last referral link clicked is the one that gets the commission.

Where can I share my referral link?

Anywhere you like — such as your friends or facebook group. If you are a content creator, you can make a youtube video or blog promoting Brand Featured. The opportunities are endless.

How many days do I need to wait before getting paid?

After someone purchases using your referral link, there is a 30 day hold period to verify their purchase. Then the commission will be paid out automatically to your PayPal.

How will I get paid?

In the dashboard after signing up, you will need to set up your PayPal to receive payments from us. We do not offer other solutions like direct bank transfer at this time.
