Transparent pricing

Published rates. No black-box quotes.

Premium PR runs on opaque retainers and 'request a quote' walls. We publish the bands our inventory actually trades at, our margin, and what lands on the invoice — so the only surprise in a proposal is which names we can get you.

Editorial placements

Priced per outlet — on authority, traffic and niche

There's no flat 'placement fee.' Each masthead carries its own rate, set by how much authority it lends, how many real readers it reaches, and how hard its vertical is to access. Here are the indicative bands our curated catalog trades in today.

$
$40–150
DR 50–69

Niche trade titles and regional outlets with engaged, specific readerships. Real editorial, modest reach — useful for vertical credibility and AI-search coverage.

42 outlets
$$
$150–500
DR 60–79

Established sector publications and mid-authority business titles. The workhorse band — strong topical authority at a sensible cost.

79 outlets
$$$
$500–1,500
DR 75–89

Recognized mastheads with national reach and meaningful organic traffic. Where a placement starts doing real reputational and discovery work.

453 outlets
$$$$
$1,500–5,000+
DR 85–90+

Top-tier, household-name publications. Limited availability, editorial scrutiny, and the kind of byline that closes a funding round or anchors a homepage.

1219 outlets

Counts reflect the live curated catalog (1810 outlets across 21 verticals, re-verified quarterly). Ranges are per single placement and exclude the concierge margin below.

How our fee works

We add a transparent 20–25% concierge margin on top of the outlet's own fee — and we tell you both numbers in the proposal. That margin pays for the curation, negotiation, escrow, verification and white-label reporting. It is the only thing we add. No retainer, no setup fee, no rush surcharge slipped in quietly.

For multi-placement campaigns and agency reseller terms, the margin compresses toward 20% as volume rises. The structure stays the same: outlet fee plus a stated percentage, on one itemized invoice.

Where we sit

Transparent premium — not the cheapest line item

We're honest about this: a self-serve marketplace will quote you less, and a full-service agency will charge you more. We sit in between, with the one thing neither reliably gives you — a published rate and a named outlet.

Direct outreach

Typical cost

Your time

No markup on the outlet fee.
Months of cold pitching, no guarantee, no escrow, no leverage on rates or attributes.

Self-serve marketplace

Typical cost

List price

Fast, transparent, browse-and-buy.
You vet quality yourself; top mastheads simply aren't listed.

Managed PR agency

Typical cost

2–5× placement cost

Full-service strategy and relationships.
Opaque retainers, bundled fees, rarely any published rate card.

Sales-led — premium tier, not the cheapest line item.

Every tier, no upsell

What's included whether you spend $99 or $5,000

These aren't add-ons. They're how we work — on the smallest wire package and the top-band editorial placement alike.

Funds held in escrow

You authorize the placement; we release payment to the outlet only once it's live and verified. No live link, no charge.

Verification screenshot

Every placement is confirmed with a dated live-URL screenshot and the link attribute as published — nothing taken on trust.

White-label report

A clean PDF you can forward to a client or board: outlet, live link, authority, reach and link type, your logo not ours.

AI-search (GEO) check

We confirm whether each page is open to AI crawlers, so you know if the coverage can surface inside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI answers.

The line we won't cross: we sell audience, credibility and AI-search visibility — never guaranteed do-follow links on news sites or promised search rankings. Link attributes follow each publisher's policy, stated up front in your proposal.

The honest answers

Pricing questions, answered plainly

You approve a proposal, then pay by card or bank transfer against a single itemized invoice — placements and wire on one document. Funds for editorial placements sit in escrow until the coverage is live and verified.
