Here are the basic steps:

Enter a question you want experts to submit a quote to. Quotes are limited to a 100-character minimum and a 2,500-character maximum (approximately 15-500 words) response.

Enter a Question: Your question should be written so that it encourages experts to give a direct, quotable answer — not a pitch. Don’t know what questions to ask? Use our Free Content Strategy Generation tool to generate questions from keywords.

Deadline: The last day experts can submit quotes. You may select quotes and close the question before the deadline.

Publication URL: Where the quotes will be published. This must be a website that you own, manage, or contribute to.

You’ll be emailed once relevant quotes are submitted. From there, you can view and select the quotes you are interested in.

You do not have to use every quote you select.

You'll have access to the following tools to help you review and select quotes:

For an individual response, you also have access to the following tools:

Before your deadline date has passed, you have the ability to close your question and claim any selected quotes.

This action will close your question on Featured, stop new responses, and set the deadline to the current time. All submitted quotes will remain available to you indefinitely.

If you don't close your query early, it will move to Completed in the 'Unclaimed Requests' status after the deadline passes. From there, you can also make selections.

Claiming quotes allows us to share a status update with experts that their insights have been selected for consideration

Once your article has been published, add the URL in Featured so we can share it with the quoted experts. Once the quoted experts have been congratulated, the request will move to the “Published” tab. That’s the last step!

Here are the basic steps:

Enter a question you want experts to submit a quote to. Quotes are limited to a 100 character minimum and a 2,500 character maximum (approximately 15-500 words) response.

Enter a Question: Please use wording similar to: give one tip, one recommendation, one way etc. to make sure each panelist elaborates deeper on one topic rather than touching the surface on multiple topics. This helps us provide you with a well-rounded article.

Deadline: The date you wish to receive your expert roundup article. The Featured team will aim to deliver the article by 5pm MST time on the selected delivery date.

Tip: Aim for a delivery date of 3+ weeks out for the best results.

Publication URL: Where the article will be published. This must be a website that you own, manage, or contribute to.

Track the progress of your requests on the Submitted and In Progress tabs.

You’ll be notified via email once your article is complete.

Article requests must be claimed within 5 weeks by adding an estimated publication date or a published URL. You can always extend your estimated publication date if needed.

Once published (or scheduled), add the URL in Featured so we can share it with the quoted experts. Once the quoted experts have been congratulated, the request will move to the “Published” tab. That’s the last step!

Bylined Articles are a long-form content type written by experts on Featured.

As a publisher, you can opt in a source you own or write for, and can start receiving completed bylines from our expert community!

When opting in, you'll enter different topics you're open to receiving pitches on, plus provide any requirements.

If they select your source to pitch, we will email you to notify you that there's a Bylined Article for you to review and accept/reject.

After 14 days, an expert can withdraw their pitch to your source if no action to accept the pitch has been taken.

Once you've accepted a pitch and published it, please add the Article URL to Featured via your Delivered Page. Once you add the article URL, the expert will see the URL on their own dashboard.

Interview Profiles are a long-form content type written by experts on Featured.

As a publisher, you can opt in a source you own or write for, and can start receiving completed interviews from our expert community!

Featured generates ten unique questions for an expert to answer based on their profile information and previous responses. We format that into a Q&A-style interview that is ready for you to publish.

Experts will select one source to pitch at a time. If they select your source, we will email you to notify you that there's an Interview Profile for you to review and claim.

You will have 14 days to claim the interview before the pitch expires.

After publishing the interview, add the published article URL to your dashboard, and that's it! We will notify the expert from there.
