Guaranteed Featured Articles:Paid Only After Publication

It is a guarantee that an approved featured article is published on a named outlet, or on an outlet of the same tier, within the window agreed in writing after you approve final copy. You pay for it only after it is published. Sponsored featured articles are labeled the way each outlet labels partner or sponsored content. We do not guarantee rankings, traffic, syndication to third-party aggregators, reader reaction, AI citations, Wikipedia eligibility, or what an AI assistant says.

Paid. It is a sponsored placement, and we never describe it as earned, editorial or organic coverage. Earned media is coverage an editor chooses to run without payment, which is why no one can guarantee it. We guarantee the first, pursue the second only as separately scoped work, and tell you before work starts which is which.

The way each outlet labels sponsored or partner content, which is consistent with the FTC's native advertising guidance. That guidance says an ad can be deceptive if it misleads people about its commercial nature, and that a disclosure should be clear and prominent. The label an outlet uses is set by the outlet, and whether it satisfies the FTC's standard is a question for your counsel. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice, so ask your counsel how advertising rules apply to your article.

If it is not published within that window, you owe nothing for that placement, and you can choose a replacement on an outlet of equal or higher tier at no extra charge. Because you pay only after publication, nothing is prepaid for guaranteed featured articles. The terms are in your written scope before work starts.

Only after the article is published. Pricing is quoted per featured article or as a package, in writing, after your free consultation, and we do not publish prices on this page. Nothing is prepaid for a guaranteed featured article.

We agree the outlet or tier in writing before work starts, so you know exactly what you are buying. We do not list outlets on this page, and we do not promise an outlet that is not in your written scope. If the named outlet cannot publish within the window, the replacement terms apply: an outlet of equal or higher tier at no extra charge.

We do not sell it for that and we promise no ranking, traffic or backlink. Google's spam policies list buying or selling links for ranking as link spam, and say paid links are not a violation when they are qualified with rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored". Its site reputation abuse policy targets third-party content published mainly to exploit a host site's ranking signals. A labeled article is written for the outlet's readers.

We cannot promise that. Assistants answer from sources they can reach and read, and a labeled article on an independent outlet can be one of them, but no one can guarantee that an assistant cites it or what an assistant says about you. The guarantee is about publication only.

Earned media is coverage an editor chooses to run with no payment, so no one can guarantee it, and it carries the trust of an independent decision. A guaranteed featured article is paid and labeled, and publication can be guaranteed because you are paying for it. They do different jobs, and we do not describe one as the other.

Terms vary by seller, so check what exactly is guaranteed, whether the outlet is named in writing, what the window is and what happens when it is missed. A newswire sends a release to feeds and partner sites that republish it automatically. That is syndication, which is different from an outlet publishing an article, and we do not guarantee syndication to third-party aggregators.

Yes. You see the draft and approve final copy, and the publication window in your scope applies after that approval. We write from facts you supply and can support, nothing runs under your name without your approval, and any quote from a person is approved by that person.

No. We write from facts you can support, and outlets have their own standards and can decline an article. We do not write claims we cannot support, and a featured article is not a way to publish something the outlet would not accept. If an outlet declines, the replacement terms apply.

Sponsored articles generally do not count toward Wikipedia notability, and we tell you that up front. Wikipedia page creation and a Google Knowledge Panel are separate services, each paid only if the result is achieved: the page is published or the panel is live.

No. It does not remove or demote a harmful page that already ranks for your name. Where content qualifies for removal under a publisher's or platform's policy or the law, removal comes first and is paid only after it is confirmed. Suppression and search work are scoped in writing with no ranking promised.

No. Those are decided by other people, so no one can guarantee them. Unpaid media outreach is a separate service, scoped in writing, with no coverage promised. The guarantee on this page covers publication of an approved, paid, labeled article and nothing else.

The FTC's native advertising guide says an ad can be deceptive if it misleads people about its commercial nature, that the FTC looks at overall context including format, and that a disclosure may be needed when an ad closely matches the content around it. It also says the Endorsement Guides do not have the force of law, though practices inconsistent with them may lead to enforcement. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice, so ask your counsel how advertising rules apply to your article.

The point you want the article to make, the facts behind it and anything that supports them, anyone who should be quoted and their approval of the quote, and your approval of final copy. We agree the outlet or tier and the window in writing first.

Call 855-239-5322 or submit the form for a free consultation. We ask what the article is for, agree the outlet or tier, window and terms in writing, and you pay for a guaranteed featured article only after it is published.
