For Brands
If you want to submit a product for consideration, request a media kit, or ask about sponsored placements, use the form below.
Submission Guidelines
- Please include a product URL and pricing details.
- Share what category it fits and who it’s for.
- If you have affiliate program details, include them (optional).
- Submitting does not guarantee coverage.
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:
- Product URL (and any relevant documentation or spec sheets).
- Pricing (tiers, limits, add‑ons, refunds, and any discounts).
- Target customer (who it’s for and who should skip it).
- Key differentiator (what makes it better than common alternatives).
- Affiliate / partner info (network, commission, cookie duration, and restrictions).
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.
- Affiliate links: best for products with broad appeal and stable pricing.
- Sponsored placements: best for launches and time-sensitive promos (must be labeled).
- Data requests / feedback: we can share what content resonates as traffic grows.
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.
- Initial fit check: category match, audience fit, pricing clarity, and availability.
- Decision-impact review: what is genuinely different vs. common alternatives.
- Workflow test planning: which real use-cases we would test before coverage.
- 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.
- Helpful: clear pricing page, product docs, trial access, and category positioning.
- Helpful: affiliate program terms (network, commission, cookie duration, restrictions).
- Not helpful: “best-in-class” claims without a buyer use-case or comparable alternatives.
- Not helpful: asking for guaranteed ranking placement (we do not sell rankings).
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.
- Clear buyer job: who uses it, what they are replacing, and what improves.
- Transparent pricing: public tiers, limits, renewals, and any required add-ons.
- Testability: trial/demo access or documentation sufficient to evaluate real use-cases.
- Category fit: aligns with current guides/reviews or a near-term category we can support.
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.
