Forbes placements
Forbes does not accept press releases. The three real ways in are an editorial pitch, a Forbes Councils membership, or a managed placement handled by MediaBoost. You get the live forbes.com link.

What each route actually costs you, and how long it takes
MediaBoost books the article on forbes.com and sends back the live link. Sold as an individual placement, at the catalog price you see before you pay. This is what MediaBoost does.
You pitch a Forbes journalist directly with a story worth covering. Costs nothing, but nobody owes you an answer and there is no timeline.

The questions that come up before every placement
No. Forbes does not accept press releases and has no submission form for company news. The real routes in are an editorial pitch to a journalist, the Forbes Councils membership program, or a managed placement handled by MediaBoost.
The MediaBoost rate is public: one flat one-time price, with no retainer and no annual membership, listed in the packages section of this page. Pitching a journalist is free but nothing is guaranteed. Forbes Councils is a separate paid annual membership run by Forbes itself.
We do not guarantee a dofollow link. Forbes controls how links in its articles are tagged, and that can change. Buy the placement for the credibility of a live forbes.com feature, not for link equity.
The placement is a standard forbes.com article URL, not a temporary ad slot. We do not control Forbes archiving, so we do not promise forever, but your PDF proof report carries the live link so you can verify it at any time.
Forbes decides how the article is presented and labeled, not MediaBoost. What we guarantee is the live forbes.com URL, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks and documented in your proof report. If labeling matters for your use case, ask us before ordering and we will walk you through how the placement appears.
