How to Get Featured in How-To Geek
How-To Geek draws about 7 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 89, and publishes in about a week.
The traffic is the proposition
How-To Geek is a consumer technology explainer site, and nearly all of its seven million monthly visits come from search. People arrive having typed a problem: how to do a thing, why a thing is not working, which tool to use.
For a product, that is a particularly good context. The reader is not browsing, they are stuck, and a tool that solves the problem they searched for is the most welcome thing on the page.
It is also a heavy source for AI answer engines, for exactly the same reason: the content is structured as answers to questions, which is what assistants reach for.
The routes in
Software and tools that solve a specific, searchable problem.
Explainers and how-to content where your product is the method.
Comparisons, which the site runs continuously.
A placed feature, written and approved by you before it runs. That is what we handle, and it is a different product from an editor there choosing to write about you.
How long it takes
About a week. About average. Plan for the top of the range rather than the bottom, and remember your own approval sits inside the window rather than after it.
Links and indexing
Nofollow. No ranking authority passes, which is normal at a domain rating of 89. Buy it for the audience and the name, not for your rankings.
It indexes and AI engines read it, so the piece works as a citation when someone asks an assistant about you, not only as a link.
What gets turned down
Products with no everyday use case, since the audience is consumer rather than enterprise.
Jargon. The site translates technology for people who are not in it.
Anything that cannot be explained in a step.
Who it suits
Consumer software and apps. Hardware with a setup story. Security and privacy tools. Anyone whose product answers a question people actually type into a search box.
The short version
7 million monthly visits, domain rating 89, nofollow, about a week. A readership that arrived with a problem, which is the best possible moment to be the answer.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in How-To Geek?
Three routes: pitch an editor directly, be quoted as an expert in a piece they are already writing, or use a placement service. We write the article, you approve every word, and we secure the placement. How-To Geek draws about 7 million monthly visits and publishes in about a week.
02How long does it take to get published in How-To Geek?
About about a week from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window rather than after it.
03Does How-To Geek give a do-follow link?
How-To Geek marks its outbound links nofollow, so no ranking authority passes. It is bought for the audience and the name. It is still indexed and still read by AI engines, which cite by content rather than by link attribute.
04Why does How-To Geek's search traffic matter?
Because it changes who is reading. Someone who arrived by searching a problem is already looking for a solution, which is a better moment to appear than in front of someone browsing. The same structure is why AI answer engines cite the site heavily: it is written as answers to questions people actually ask.
