The free audit.
No commitment.

Before any payment or commitment, we conduct a free brand audit. We review your company, positioning, goals, and current media presence — and assess whether Forbes is the right fit and what angle would work.

The audit takes 24 hours. We come back with a clear picture: what story would work on Forbes, what the placement would achieve for your specific goals, and a custom quote. You then decide whether to proceed.

The audit is genuinely useful on its own. Many clients tell us it gave them clearer PR positioning than previous agencies had. And there’s no obligation whatsoever.

  • Completely free — no payment, no commitment
  • We assess your brand, goals, and Forbes fit
  • Custom story angle proposed
  • Custom quote included with the audit

Day 1–3 — We write

Forbes-grade draft.
Written to the standard.

If you decide to proceed after the audit, writing begins after payment is confirmed. We develop the article based on the angle we proposed — written by editorial professionals with Forbes contributor experience.

The article is written to Forbes’ editorial standard: authoritative, objective, structured as a genuine business feature. Not a press release reformatted. Not AI-generated copy.

We’ll reach out if we need additional information — quotes, data, background — before finalising the draft. You’ll have the full article for review within 3 business days.

  • Written by Forbes-experienced editorial professionals
  • Genuine business journalism framing
  • Draft delivered within 3 business days
  • We follow up if additional details are needed

Day 3–5 — You review

Two revisions.
Your sign-off required.

You receive the full draft and review it. Two rounds of revisions are included at no extra cost — request changes to wording, quotes, structure, factual details, or emphasis.

We can’t make changes that would turn the article into an advertisement, as that risks Forbes’ editorial acceptance. But anything that makes it more accurate or better represents your company is fair game.

Nothing is submitted until you give the explicit sign-off. This is non-negotiable — we wait for your confirmation before proceeding.

  • Two full rounds of revisions included
  • Wording, quotes, facts, structure — all open
  • Your explicit sign-off required
  • Revisions returned within 24 hours

Audit guide

How to get the most from your free audit

🎯
Be clear on your goal

Tell us what you’re trying to achieve — investor visibility, founder authority, enterprise credibility, ORM, or market entry. The audit is most useful when we know what success looks like for you.

📰
Describe the story angle

Tell us what’s happening — a launch, a raise, an expansion, a market observation. You don’t need to write the article. Just explain what you’d like Forbes readers to know about your company.

📊
Include real numbers

Forbes editorial thrives on specifics. Even approximate figures — funding range, customer count, market size — give us the raw material to assess editorial viability quickly.

🤝
Be honest about constraints

If there’s something you can’t disclose publicly yet, flag it upfront. We’ll work around it rather than propose an angle that breaks on an undisclosable fact.

💡
Ask questions

The audit is a conversation. If you’re unsure whether Forbes is the right fit, or want to compare it with StreetInsider or TechBullion, ask — we’ll give you an honest assessment of each.

No commitment needed

The audit is entirely free and carries no obligation. We give you a genuine assessment — including if we think Forbes isn’t the right fit and what might work better for your goals.
