Your Brand started with two people and one stubborn problem. Today its platform runs inside teams across the country, and the founders say Your Brand is only getting started.

Some publications label features as contributor or partner content. Before you commit, you see exactly how each one handles it, along with its link type and how many links it allows.

Priced per article, not per month.

Each article is priced by publication, with no retainer and no monthly minimum. You pay when the publication’s editor approves your topic, never before.

Price reflects each outlet’s authority, audience and editorial selectivity. Hundreds of local and regional outlets are available on request.

Every placement includes

  • Editorial strategy: angle development and outlet matching for your goals
  • Writing and one round of revisions: drafted from a short questionnaire, then revised to your notes
  • Free re-pitch: if the editor pushes back on the angle, we refine it and pitch again at no cost
  • No surprises: each outlet’s label, link type and link allowance confirmed before you commit

Before you commit

Full-feature article questions, answered.

A guest post is an article you supply to a blog in exchange for a backlink. The site hosts your link, and that's roughly the whole transaction. A full-feature article is a professionally written brand story published on a vetted, high-authority publication: your company, founder, or product is the subject, the piece is written to the outlet's editorial standards and reviewed by its editors, and it reaches that publication's actual readership. Beyond the links, it works as a credibility asset for sales decks, investor materials, and your homepage trust bar.

They're cousins, not the same thing. With a typical sponsored post, you're buying ad space wrapped in article formatting, and the publication runs what you hand them. A full-feature article is commissioned, but produced like editorial: written to the publication's standards, reviewed by their editors, and subject to their disclosure policies. Some outlets label contributor or partner content, and we'll tell you how each publication handles it before you commit.And if what you actually want is links inside existing editorial articles, that's our link insertions service.

Often, yes, and more often than most people assume. Some coverage is genuinely earned: a journalist finds the story newsworthy and writes it themselves, which is how our digital PR service works. But many dedicated brand features on major outlets are commissioned placements, produced to the publication's editorial standards and disclosed according to its policies. The distinction that matters isn't paid versus free. It's whether the piece is written and edited like real editorial, and labeled honestly. Ours are: every feature goes through the outlet's editors, and we tell you how each publication handles labeling before you commit.

Yes. We'll present available publications that fit your brand, industry, and goals. You choose where you want to be featured. We also advise on which outlets carry the most authority for your niche. Some publications look impressive but don't move the needle on rankings or AI visibility, while others punch above their weight.

The article is a full narrative feature about your brand, product, or founder story. Common angles include company origin stories, product launches, market positioning, thought leadership on an industry trend, or category expertise. We handle the writing based on a short questionnaire you complete, and you review and approve before anything goes live.

Typically 2 to 3 contextual links per article: your homepage, a key product page, or a relevant blog post. A few publications cap features at one or two links, so we confirm each outlet's exact allowance before you commit. No surprises after the fact.

Pricing starts at $1,500 per article, all-inclusive: strategy, writing, your review, and placement. Each publication is priced individually based on its authority, audience, and editorial selectivity. Tell us your category and we'll send the outlets currently accepting features, with exact pricing for each.

Yes. You pay once the publication's editor approves your topic, never before, and once you approve the draft, it publishes. If an editor pushes back on the angle, we refine and re-pitch at no cost to you. And because nothing goes to the publication until you've approved the final draft, the piece that publishes is the piece you signed off on.

Most features go live 2 to 3 weeks after the editor approves your topic, and pitching for that approval takes a few days. The draft takes about a week, and once you approve it, most outlets publish within two weeks. Your review time is the one variable we don't control. A few outlets take longer, up to 6 weeks, and we tell you which before you commit. The full nine-step breakdown is above. We manage all communication with the publisher.

You review the full draft in Google Docs before anything goes to the publication, and one round of revisions is included. If something bigger needs rework, we work with you to get it right. Because the placement is paid when the editor approves your topic, the fee isn't refundable once writing starts.

AI search tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity rely on editorial brand mentions across trusted publications when generating recommendations. A full-feature article puts an in-depth piece about your brand on a high-authority outlet, the kind of source these systems draw on. The combination of editorial context and backlinks strengthens both traditional rankings and AI visibility.

Digital PR is reactive: we position your brand as an expert source in articles journalists are already writing. You get quoted and linked, but the journalist owns the story. Full-feature articles are proactive: the entire article is about your brand, on a publication you choose, and you shape the narrative and approve the final piece before it publishes. Different jobs, and many clients run both.
