What It Is

Your Expertise, Quoted in Journalist Articles

A HARO style placement puts a short expert quote from you inside a journalist article, with a link or brand credit. We match journalist queries to your expertise, draft a quotable answer you approve, and send it in time for the deadline. We never guarantee a placement and never promise a named publication.

  • Not a guaranteed placement: journalists choose the quotes they publish, so no one can promise a slot.
  • Not a named publication: we never promise a specific outlet in advance.
  • Not a quote without an expert: every quote comes from real experience, answered plainly.

Expert quote placements fit you if you can answer from real experience, quickly and plainly.

Quality Checks

Checked Like Every Placement We Build

A quote is only reported after it passes these checks.

  • Query relevance: the query fits your expertise and target page.
  • Quote quality: the answer is short, quotable and genuinely useful to the journalist.
  • Expert credibility: the quote comes from real experience, not general opinion.
  • Outlet trust: the article sits on a real publication readers trust.
  • Manual sign-off: a specialist reviews every placement before it goes in your report.

For rankings: a quote in a trusted article is an editorial link with a clear reason to exist. For AI visibility: journalist articles are the kind of trusted sources AI cites. We do not guarantee rankings or AI citations. No honest agency can.

FAQ

Expert Quotes, Answered

What is HARO?

HARO is a style of outreach where journalists post queries asking experts for quotes for their articles. We watch those queries, match them to your expertise, and send short, quotable answers. When a journalist uses your quote, you get a mention or link in the article.

Can you guarantee a placement?

No, and no honest agency can. Journalists choose the quotes they publish. What we guarantee is the work: matching queries to your expertise, drafting strong quotes you approve, and sending them before the deadline. Over a campaign, good quotes earn placements.

Do I need to be the expert quoted?

You or someone on your team does. Every quote must come from real experience, answered plainly. We draft the wording with you, but the expertise has to be yours.

How fast must a quote be sent?

Fast. Journalist deadlines are usually tight, so we send your quote as soon as it is drafted and approved. That is why we ask for a quick turnaround from you on approvals.
