HARO automation

Land tier-one quotes without scrolling forty queries a day.

MarquIQ monitors Featured.com, Qwoted, and Terkel for journalist queries that match your expertise, drafts a pitch grounded in your product, and surfaces it for approval. You spend five minutes per pitch instead of an hour.

HARO is gone, but the jobs-to-be-done are not. Tier-one quotes still move conversations. The problem is throughput: forty queries a day across three platforms, five percent that match your expertise, and a template-looking pitch never gets picked.

What you get

  • Query matching

    Every query is scored against your product fact sheet. Only the five percent that actually fit your expertise surface to you.

  • Draft grounded in your product

    The pitch opens with a specific example, includes a concrete number, and ends with a quotable sentence. No templates.

  • Three platforms, one queue

    Featured.com, Qwoted, and Terkel all flow into the same approval queue. One mobile swipe per pitch.

  • Missed-window alerts

    Queries with tight deadlines surface first. You never find out a good match expired yesterday.

  • Outcome tracking

    Track pitches submitted, placements landed, and outlet tier. The tuning engine surfaces which expertise areas actually convert.

  • Always human-approved

    Submission requires human approval. A misrepresented claim costs you credibility forever. The last thirty seconds are yours to own.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Define your expertise areas

    Five to ten topics you can speak to with specific, evidence-based answers. The matcher narrows queries to these areas.

  2. Step 2

    Connect query sources

    Plug in Featured.com, Qwoted, and Terkel credentials. Scopes are minimized to read and submit only.

  3. Step 3

    Engine scans on a schedule

    Every thirty minutes. Queries with deadlines under six hours are pushed to you first via the approval channel you configured.

  4. Step 4

    Approve the drafted pitch

    Read the query, read the draft, check your facts, edit if needed, submit. The full loop is under five minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Track placements

    When a pitch is picked up, log the placement. The tuning engine uses this to surface which expertise areas are pulling weight.

Frequently asked questions

Which HARO alternatives does MarquIQ monitor?

Featured.com, Qwoted, and Terkel. We add new sources as founders request them and as the journalist-sourcing market evolves.

Does MarquIQ submit pitches automatically?

No. Submission always requires human approval. The cost of a misrepresented claim is your credibility with that journalist forever. Automation gets you from 40 queries to a drafted pitch in five minutes; the last thirty seconds is yours.

How does query matching work?

Each platform query is scored against your product fact sheet. Only queries above a relevance threshold surface to you, so you spend time on the five percent that match rather than scrolling the other ninety-five.

Can I edit drafts before submission?

Every draft is editable. The draft is a starting point grounded in your product, not a final pitch. You fact-check, you tighten, you submit.
