Product submissions, sponsorships, and partnership inquiries.

Submission Guidelines

What to include (so we can evaluate quickly)

The fastest way to get a useful answer is to include the details that affect the decision. If you skip these, we’ll usually ask for them later:

Partnership options

ExpertChoice supports a mix of affiliate links, sponsorships, and partner placements. If something is sponsored, we aim to label it clearly and still include trade-offs and context. We also label affiliate relationships clearly so buyers understand the commercial relationship before they click.

Response expectations

Submissions are reviewed asynchronously. If your product is a fit, you’ll receive a response with next steps (and any follow-up questions needed to evaluate fairly).

FAQ

Can I pay to be the “#1 pick”?

No. Sponsorships can buy placement visibility, not rankings. Rankings are driven by criteria and trade-offs. If something is sponsored, we aim to label it clearly.

Do you guarantee coverage?

No. Submitting does not guarantee coverage. We prioritize products that solve a clear job, have transparent pricing, and hold up under common failure modes.

What happens after you submit

We use the submission details to decide whether the product belongs in an existing guide, a future guide, or a review queue. A good submission helps us understand the buyer job, pricing structure, and where the product is strongest without needing multiple follow-up emails.

  1. Initial fit check: category match, audience fit, pricing clarity, and availability.
  2. Decision-impact review: what is genuinely different vs. common alternatives.
  3. Workflow test planning: which real use-cases we would test before coverage.
  4. Follow-up (if needed): missing pricing details, affiliate terms, or access requirements.

What helps us review faster (and what slows it down)

The fastest submissions are specific: who the product is for, what problem it solves, pricing tiers, and how it differs from the tools buyers are already comparing. The slowest submissions are vague marketing summaries with no pricing, no category fit, and no explanation of the trade-offs.

Partnership fit checklist (before you submit)

Submissions move faster when there is a clear buyer problem, transparent pricing, and a category match with the pages we already publish. If your product is new, niche, or in a fast-moving category, that is fine. The key is whether the decision criteria can be explained clearly and tested in a practical workflow.

Disclosure and editorial expectations

If a partnership includes sponsorship, paid placement, or an affiliate relationship, we expect the commercial terms to be disclosed clearly. Visibility can be sponsored; rankings cannot be sold. If a product is covered, we still evaluate trade-offs and alternatives so readers can understand where it fits and where it does not.

This protects both sides. Brands get clearer expectations and better-qualified traffic. Readers keep enough context to trust the page. If those expectations do not fit your campaign, it is better to know that before any integration work starts.

What to send if you want a fast yes/no

Include the product URL, category, pricing page, one sentence on the buyer problem, and what makes it worth comparing against the default alternatives. If there is an affiliate program, include the network and terms. If there is no program yet, that is still fine; we can evaluate editorial fit first.

Include product URL(s), category, a short description, and any relevant details (affiliate program, pricing, launch date, etc.).
