HARO & Media Responses
What's Included
Everything you get with our HARO & Media Responses
Daily Query Monitoring
We monitor HARO, Connectively, Qwoted, and SourceBottle multiple times daily to catch relevant queries within minutes of posting.
Expert Response Drafting
Each response is written to match the journalist's exact requirements: concise quotes, relevant credentials, and specific data points they can use immediately.
Credential Positioning
We frame your expertise, experience, and unique perspective in a way that makes journalists choose your response over the dozens of others they receive.
Placement Tracking & Link Recovery
We track every response, follow up on pending queries, and pursue link insertion when articles publish with a mention but no backlink.
How We Earn HARO Placements
Profile & Expertise Mapping
We document your credentials, industry experience, unique perspectives, and the topics where you can speak with genuine authority. This becomes the foundation for every response we write.
Query Monitoring & Selection
We scan HARO and related platforms 3x daily, filtering for queries that match your expertise and target publications with DR 50+ and real organic traffic.
Response Crafting
Each response is written to be immediately usable by the journalist: a compelling expert quote, supporting data or examples, and a clear credential attribution that includes your name and site URL.
Submission & Follow-Up
Responses are submitted within hours of the query posting, well within the journalist's deadline. We follow up on pending queries and track publication dates.
Link Verification & Recovery
When an article publishes, we verify that it includes a dofollow link. If the journalist mentioned you without linking, we contact them to request link insertion, recovering an additional 15-25% of placements.
Key Benefits
DR 70-90+ Editorial Backlinks
HARO placements come from publications like Forbes, Inc., Business Insider, and major trade outlets. These links carry authority weight that no guest post or directory listing can match.
Expert Authority & E-E-A-T Signals
Being quoted as an expert source in major publications builds the exact Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness signals that Google evaluates for quality rankings.
Brand Visibility in Trusted Outlets
Every placement puts your name and brand in front of a publication's full readership. Readers who see you quoted in Forbes associate your brand with that level of credibility.
Unreplicable by Competitors
HARO links are earned through expert credentials and timing. Competitors cannot buy them, replicate them through outreach, or build them at scale without genuine expertise. This makes them a durable competitive advantage.
Research & Evidence
Backed by industry research and proven results
Backlinko: Google Ranking Factors
The #1 result on Google has 3.8x more backlinks than positions 2-10. HARO links from high-DR news domains carry disproportionate authority weight, accelerating ranking improvements faster than equivalent volumes of lower-DR links.
Moz: Domain Authority & Link Quality
Pages ranking #1 have 2-3x more linking root domains than #2 through #10. Each HARO placement adds a unique high-authority referring domain that is difficult for competitors to replicate.
Ahrefs: Link Impact Timeline
New backlinks take an average of 3.1 months to impact rankings. HARO links from high-DR sites tend to move the needle faster because Google crawls and processes major news domains more frequently.
