Every question,
answered.

None whatsoever. The audit is free and carries zero obligation. We give you an honest assessment — including if we believe Forbes isn’t the right fit for your current goals and what might work better.

The audit form asks for: your name, email, company or website, what you’d like covered, and your primary goal. A few sentences is enough. We’ll ask follow-up questions if we need more detail before giving you the angle assessment.

We review and respond within 24 hours — typically faster. The response includes the story angle assessment, what the placement would achieve for you, and a custom quote.

We’ll tell you clearly — and suggest what might work better. As part of the BHMarketer.ai network, we also place on StreetInsider, TechBullion, Business Insider, and other publications. The audit helps us point you toward the right outlet for your specific goals, not just push you toward Forbes.

5–7 business days from brief approval to live article. Full breakdown:

• Day 0: Free audit submitted
• Within 24 hours: Angle assessment and quote returned
• Approval + payment: Writing begins
• Day 1–3: Article draft delivered
• Day 3–5: Revisions and sign-off
• Day 5–7: Article live on Forbes

After the audit and only if you choose to proceed. The audit is free. We send a custom quote with the audit response — payment is only requested after you confirm you’d like to go ahead. There is no cost at the audit stage.

Two full rounds of revisions at no extra cost. Wording, quotes, structure, factual accuracy — all open for feedback. We can’t make changes that would turn the article into an advertisement, as that risks Forbes’ editorial acceptance.

Always. Nothing is submitted to Forbes without your explicit sign-off. You receive the full draft plus two revision rounds before we submit anything.

Yes. A receipt is generated automatically on payment. For a formal invoice with specific business details (company name, VAT number, PO reference), let us know when we send the quote and we’ll issue one before payment.

No. Our placements go through Forbes’ standard editorial contributor process — not a sponsored, native advertising, or BrandVoice slot. They appear as regular Forbes contributor articles with a byline.

Editorial professionals with Forbes contributor experience. The article is written to Forbes’ editorial standard: authoritative, structured as genuine business journalism, not AI-generated and not a press release reformatted.

Typically 500–800 words — the standard length for Forbes contributor pieces. Long enough to be substantive and SEO-valuable, aligned with how Forbes content is structured.

Forbes does not routinely remove contributor content after publication. Articles are generally accessible after they go live, though as a third-party publication we cannot make guarantees about Forbes’ future content policies.

Yes — and we recommend it. An executive quote, specific metrics, or a proprietary insight make the article more credible and more compelling. Include these in your audit brief or when we follow up during the writing process.

Domain Authority 94 (Moz) — placing Forbes among the most authoritative domains on the internet. A backlink from Forbes is a significant and rare SEO signal that compounds your profile over time.

Yes. Forbes is an approved Google News publication. Articles can surface in the News tab, Google Discover, and news carousels in organic search — typically indexed within 24–72 hours of publication.

Forbes’ standard editorial link policy applies to all placements. We confirm link type in the quote we provide with your audit.

• Press page — “As seen in Forbes”
• Investor deck or data room
• Cold email outreach — dramatically increases response rates
• LinkedIn profile and posts
• Sales materials and proposals
• Email signature

A Forbes article significantly increases the probability. Forbes is one of the most-cited sources in AI-generated business answers. A placement creates a credible, indexed data point about your company in a domain AI systems actively reference.

• ChatGPT — via web browsing and Bing integration
• Perplexity AI — Forbes is a primary business source
• Google AI Overviews — via Google News indexing
• Microsoft Copilot — Bing-powered, same pipeline

Investors, enterprise buyers, and journalists increasingly use AI search tools to research companies and industries. When they ask about your space — or specifically your company — a Forbes article gives you a real chance to appear in the generated answer. That’s the new first impression.

Once we agree to proceed after the audit, the article will be published on Forbes. If it isn’t — for any reason — you receive a full refund. We only move forward when we’re confident in delivery, which is why this guarantee is rarely triggered.

100% of what you paid returned to your original payment method. No credit notes, no partial refunds, no conditions. The full amount back, no questions asked.

Nothing goes live without your sign-off — so if you approved it, the article reflects what you agreed to. Two revision rounds exist precisely to ensure you’re fully satisfied before submission. If there’s a factual error in our final edit, contact us immediately and we’ll work to correct it.

• Startups and scale-ups seeking investor visibility
• Founders building personal authority and media presence
• B2B and enterprise technology companies
• Financial services and fintech brands
• Professional services firms (consulting, legal, advisory)
• International companies entering the US market
• Any brand where business credibility matters

Request the audit anyway. Assessing editorial viability is our job. What doesn’t feel like news to a founder often does to an editorial team that understands the market context. The audit is free — the worst outcome is we come back with honest feedback on what would make it work.

Yes. Many placements come through PR agencies, digital marketing agencies, and reputation management consultants placing on behalf of their clients. We have volume pricing for agencies. Contact us via WhatsApp to discuss rates and workflow.

Yes. As part of the BHMarketer.ai network, we also place on StreetInsider, TechBullion, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, and other publications. The audit will tell you which combination best fits your goals and budget — sometimes a multi-outlet strategy delivers more than a single Forbes placement.
