How to Get Featured in MovieWeb
MovieWeb draws about 15.4 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 78, and publishes in about a week.
A consumer film title, not a trade one
MovieWeb covers film news, features and streaming for a general audience of about 15.4 million monthly readers. It is not Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, and that is the useful distinction: the trades are read by the industry, this is read by people who watch films.
For an independent film or a performer, that difference decides the buy. Trade coverage reaches financiers and distributors; consumer coverage reaches an audience. Trade publication vs consumer publication sets out how to choose.
The routes in
Film releases and announcements.
Streaming coverage, a large share of its output.
Talent news and features.
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 78. 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
Pitches with no film attached.
Brand or corporate stories.
Projects with nothing to watch, since the audience wants something to see.
Who it suits
Independent filmmakers and distributors. Actors with a release. Streaming platforms and content owners. Anyone whose goal is viewers rather than financiers.
The short version
15.4 million monthly visits, domain rating 78, nofollow, about a week. Consumer film coverage at scale, which is a different buy from the trades.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in MovieWeb?
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. MovieWeb draws about 15.4 million monthly visits and publishes in about a week.
02How long does it take to get published in MovieWeb?
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 MovieWeb give a do-follow link?
MovieWeb 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.
04Is MovieWeb a trade publication?
No, it is consumer film coverage. The trades, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, are read by the industry: financiers, distributors, agents. MovieWeb is read by people who watch films. If you want viewers, this is the right side of that split; if you want a distribution deal, it is not.
