Real results
They responded. They got featured.
I got quoted in Business Insider within my first week. The ROI on $7.99 a month is absurd compared to what I was paying my PR agency. I’m not going back.
We cancelled our $8K/month PR retainer after three months on JournoRequest. Better matches, faster turnaround, and we actually understand what’s happening.
As a consultant, being quoted in TechCrunch turned into three inbound leads within a week. JournoRequest made it happen for less than my morning coffee.
I’d wasted two years cold-pitching journalists with zero replies. Within 48 hours of signing up I responded to a Forbes request and landed my first national feature.

Build authority that attracts investors
One quote in the right publication generates months of inbound leads, partnership interest, and investor attention — permanently.
Earn DA 70+ backlinks. No guest post grind.
One journalist quote earns a backlink that would cost $2K+ through any other channel. And it reads as editorial, not advertising.
