Ask good questions. Get great content.
Did you know there are over 542 million inactive blogs—abandoned because of a lack of time, resources, and money to keep them going?
That’s where Featured comes in.
Our Publisher Tools are designed to help brands connect with real subject-matter experts and create content that truly adds value to their audience’s lives—without draining internal resources.
Since launching Publisher accounts in January 2022, marketing teams, blog managers, content writers, and business owners have used our self-serve platform to scale content production through high-quality, ready-to-publish Q&A articles—all fueled by expert insights.
And with the launch of Quote Requests in 2024, journalists, editors, content marketers, and media teams now rely on Featured to source expert quotes for articles, updates, and new stories—making content more credible, insightful, and engaging.
Whether you need full Q&A articles or individual expert quotes, Featured makes expert-powered content easy.
So, what kind of content can I expect to receive from Featured?
1. Expert Quotes
For journalists, Featured makes sourcing expert quotes fast and organized. As responses roll in, you can view and select the quotes you’d like to feature in your story. Once finalized, all selected quotes and headshots of the experts are compiled into a shared media folder—delivered to you on or before your deadline.
2. Ready-to-Publish Q&A Articles
For publishers looking to scale their blogs, Featured delivers fully formatted, expert-driven Q&A articles straight to your inbox (or CMS if integrated). Each article comes in a shared media folder and includes:
- An AI written* introduction
- Expert insights that align with your question’s search intent
- A bullet-point summary of key takeaways—designed to boost SEO and improve your chances of earning a featured snippet
- Headshots of all contributors to bring authenticity and credibility to your post
Each Q&A article aims to offer diverse, actionable perspectives that engage readers and provide real value—no extra editing required.
*AI is used to create an article for Free requests. Use credits or upgrade to a publisher plan for human editing.
