How to Get Featured in Forbes on Your Own
Getting into Forbes takes either strong editorial relationships or a compelling pitch. If you want to try it yourself, this is what works.
Lead With a Hook and Real Numbers
Start with a clear hook that ties your story to a trending topic or data point. Support it with real numbers: revenue growth, user metrics or industry data that backs up your angle. Keep the pitch short and end with a specific call to action for the editor.
Time It With the News Cycle
Timing matters. Line your pitch up with the news cycle, avoid major holidays and breaking-news periods, and use seasonal industry moments when editors are actively looking for fresh stories.
Amplify It Once It Runs
Once it’s published, share the feature across LinkedIn, your website, email signatures, investor decks and paid social. A Forbes article grows in value the more you distribute it, and its backlink carries a domain authority of 94, one of the strongest SEO assets available.
Keep It Going, or Skip the Learning Curve
A sustainable PR strategy means consistent outreach, story angles that evolve over time, and tracking results to sharpen your pitch. Or skip the learning curve entirely: Baden Bower handles the full process with a money-back guarantee.

Is This Actually Forbes?
It’s the most common question we get, and it deserves a straight answer. Forbes publishes through a network of official editions: Forbes US, Forbes Australia, Forbes Middle East, Forbes Israel and more.
These are not fake Forbes sites or low-authority affiliates. They are official Forbes editorial properties, and their articles appear in Google search results for your name just like any Forbes US article.
Baden Bower places clients across the Forbes network. Your story angle decides the edition, and your proposal names it before you pay. Either way, you get a real Forbes article on a real Forbes site.

What Our Forbes Clients Say
200% website traffic increase within 30 days
“Getting multiple features in Forbes has been a tremendous boost to our site conversion rate and growth. The incremental sales beyond our paid digital marketing were immediate.”
Closed 3 enterprise deals after the placement
“Everything was explained upfront and delivered accordingly. The ability to be featured in Forbes credentialed us with investors in a way that nothing else could.”
First-page Google rankings within 60 days
“Our website saw a small but steady increase in organic traffic from the Forbes mention alone. Our SEO improved, with major keywords now ranking on page 1 of Google.”
From Feature to Impact: Turning Forbes Into ROI
A Forbes feature is a business asset that keeps working for you. The brands that get the most from their coverage put it in front of customers at every touchpoint.
Pitch Decks and Investor Materials
“As Featured in Forbes” on your pitch deck lifts your credibility instantly. Investors see hundreds of decks, and a Forbes mention helps yours stand out with third-party validation.
Website and Landing Pages
A Forbes badge or a link to your article on your homepage creates a halo of trust that lifts conversion rates. Visitors who see coverage in a publication they recognise are far more likely to act.
Social Media and Advertising
Share your feature across LinkedIn, Instagram and paid campaigns and it reaches far beyond the day it ran. One article becomes months of marketing material.
SEO and Backlinks
A Forbes article gives you a backlink from a domain with an authority score of 94, which strengthens your site in search. The benefit compounds, driving traffic long after the article runs.
Companies that treat their Forbes feature as the start of a visibility campaign, rather than the finish line, consistently report the highest return on their PR spend.

The Person Behind the Guarantee
“I built Baden Bower because the PR industry was taking money and delivering excuses.”
AJ Ignacio founded Baden Bower after watching business owners pay traditional PR agencies $5,000 to $15,000 a month and receive nothing publishable in return. His answer was simple: charge for placements that run. No “we’re working on it.” A guaranteed placement or a full refund.
Today Baden Bower has published more than 25,000 news features for 3,548 clients across 37 countries, from offices in New York, Sydney and London. Every placement carries the same guarantee AJ made on day one.
