How to Get Featured in Maxim
Maxim draws about 2 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 77, and publishes in one to three weeks.
Recognition in the men's category
Maxim has been one of the best-known men's lifestyle brands since the nineties, covering style, watches, cars, travel, spirits and entertainment. About 2 million monthly visits at a domain rating of 77.
The name does most of the work. For a men's premium brand, Maxim in a press list is recognised without explanation, which is the same argument as Glamour on the other side of the category. The link is nofollow and the window is one to three weeks, so plan for three.
The routes in
Style, watches and accessories.
Cars, travel and spirits, heavily covered.
Entertainment and culture.
Founder and personality profiles in the men's market.
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
One to three weeks. 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 77. 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 male-market relevance.
Claims that cannot be supported.
Anything that needs careful explanation, since the format is short and visual.
Who it suits
Men's premium brands. Watches, spirits and automotive. Luxury travel aimed at men. Founders and personalities in that market. Anyone buying a recognisable name rather than a link.
The short version
2 million monthly visits, domain rating 77, nofollow, one to three weeks. A men's lifestyle name a stranger recognises, which is the whole purchase.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in Maxim?
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. Maxim draws about 2 million monthly visits and publishes in one to three weeks.
02How long does it take to get published in Maxim?
About one to three weeks from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window rather than after it.
03Does Maxim give a do-follow link?
Maxim 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.
04What does Maxim cover?
Men's lifestyle: style, watches, cars, travel, spirits and entertainment, plus profiles. It has been a recognised name in the category since the nineties, which is the main reason to use it. The format is short and visual, so a product that needs careful explanation is a poor fit.
