Qwoted Avis 

Qwoted is a great service that connects actual reporters looking for real experts. I am in a niche pest control business. Because of that, there are not any reporters that cover my industry specifically. Most of them write articles about the home like renovations, real estate, DIY repairs, etc.

Qwoted is an especially valuable resource because it levels the media playing field. Younger, up-and-coming businesses that have what to contribute to a journalist's article now have the same, equal opportunity to compete with established companies in their fields for media attention. And Qwoted also democratizes the process as well, since an original, astute insight from a smaller firm will catch the eye of a journalist who's inundated with lesser comments from the big guys. Whether you're a journalist who wants to expand your contacts or an enterprise looking for publicity, this is the place to be.

Qwoted has been very useful to promote my interview coaching business. I've only used the free subscription, yet my interview advice has been featured in Forbes and Fox Business twice, as well as in CIO Magazine, BuiltIn, Business Insider and many others as a result of my membership.

As a small business owner trying to establish myself as an expert in my industry, it's been a very successful tool. It's relatively easy to gather backlinks.

The software is easy to use and I love that you can see if your quote has been accepted or not and you don't have to die wondering!

My only constructive criticism is that I'd like to be able to link different submissions to different pages on my website, not just my homepage.

Effective with good range across the many departments as a business you can comment on.

Great concept but doesn't quite hit the mark so we cancelled our subscription today.

The unnecessary barrier between journalist and agency / brand makes life difficult.

If your account is flagged (which happens regularly), you have to book in a call with the Founder and be scolded in order to get reactivated. Quite a faff and very uncomfortable.

During the last call, we were told we were a small customer and they wouldn't care about losing us.

There is also a public grading of your agency - which feels draconian. It's interesting that the top 100 are all from the same agencies (and some claim just a 3% win rate).

Subscriptions for agencies are $700/month (which is at the higher end of other PR software out there).

There are better and cheaper alternatives.

UPDATE: 5 days after I left this review, there was flurry of positive reviews. Curious, I noticed that Qwoted posted the following on their website:

Makes it really easy for agencies to do some light-weight PR for their clients!

I'm a podcast host and this platform has been amazing for helping me grow my show with amazing guests. Can't recommend it enough to others.

Impressive platform. Within one day, I received over 20 quality podcast guest submissions. This is a must-have platform for podcast hosts.

Do not allow me to sign up using gmail account. Really do not understand the business decision behind this!

It has been a pleasant experience using Qwoted as a way to gain online credibility and visibility as a new soloprenuer. I highly recommend having Qwoted as an asset for getting your message seen.

Not a trustworthy employer

They banned my account for no reason. They treat the journalists as lords and reporters are nothing to them. I have spent at least 80 hours in their system. And then they banned me for no reason. Frustration, confusion and a sense of injustice - that's all I got.

Great site for pr professionals to get their spokespeople quoted. Everything is easy to use and has functions to know if your pitch was read and how many pitches the reporter received, etc.

Great experience, no spam. High-quality service and verified sources, access to true experts. All five stars well-deserved!

Got some excellent input toward my story from people in the know.

I've used Qwoted twice and received solid leads both times. In the finance space, at least, it seems like they have a wide network of sources from businesses.

Qwoted rates the full five stars. Not only have I gotten the quotes and comments that I need - from fully qualified sources - but the service in providing them was first class. I'd recommend Qwoted to anyone who is in need of authoritative quote sources for their published work, videos, podcasts, and presentations.

Great sources and commentators for my articles. Also, having all my Qwoted requests, current and past, and other related information easily accessible on my dashboard is an invaluable feature.

Qwoted is an outstanding resource for writers, both easy to use and swift to respond to requests for sources. The Qwoted.com experts I've interviewed have been top-notch, and some have become my regular go-to quote machines.
