Why get quoted

A high-impact, low-cost way to build authority and rank higher

Getting quoted in major publications and popular websites is an effective way to build authority, strengthen your online reputation, boost your SEO to rank higher in search results, and improve your citability in AI search tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. And it no longer requires a considerable outlay of time and money.

Many writers include a link back to your website; Building natural backlinks from high-authority sites is one of the most impactful ways to strengthen your SEO and rank higher in search engines, an advantage that compounds over time. AI search tools rely less on links and more on your name simply appearing in reputable publications.

Questions & answers

Everything advisors ask about getting quoted

For advisors on a tight budget, free services once offered a way to get quoted, but responses were infrequent as reporters were often overwhelmed with submissions, and increasingly, many AI-generated ones. One well-known free service, HARO, was discontinued as of January 2025.

On the other end of the spectrum, PR agencies charge thousands of dollars a month, or hundreds of dollars per quote placement they secure on your behalf.

With an eligible Wealthtender subscription plan, you gain opportunities every week to get quoted on wealthtender, popular consumer media outlets, and industry trade publications. Here is how Wealthtender compares:

Service providerTypical cost
Wealthtender$59/month
Qwoted (Qwoted.com)$99/month
Vetted (JoinVetted.com)$350+/article
Quote serviceCostBest for
HARO (discontinued Jan 2025)FreeAdvisors with ample time but no budget. Historically a 5 to 10% success rate.
Vetted$350+/articleAdvisors who want opportunities delivered on a platter, though the cost is steep.
WealthtenderIncluded in an eligible plan ($59)Advisors who can afford a modest monthly cost to get quoted and build backlinks. Anticipate a 30 to 50% success rate.

The benefits of getting quoted vary by the type of media outlet where you are featured. Hiring a PR firm may suit large advisory firms prepared to pay several thousand dollars a month for national exposure, while services like Vetted charge a few hundred dollars per article. Many advisors today take advantage of low-cost options that can produce comparable results. Here is a summary by outlet type:

Advisors in the Wealthtender community: whenever we know of an article featuring quotes from advisors in our community, we publish a social post with the hashtag #wealthtenderquotes on LinkedIn and X, tagging each advisor quoted. On LinkedIn, search #wealthtenderquotes and filter for results that mention your name. On X, we will tag you when we know you have been quoted.

For anyone who gets quoted, we do not always know when or where an article is posted, so a few good habits help:

  • Google Alerts: set an alert for your own name at google.com/alerts to monitor when your name appears online.
  • Muck Rack: search for the writer’s profile; most of the time their recent articles are listed there regardless of where published. Examples: Liam Gibson, Opher Ganel.
  • Ask the writer: reporters value professionals who respond with thoughtful insights, and are usually happy to share a link once published.

Nope. Writers can often spot AI-generated content faster than anyone, especially when they receive multiple responses with identical or very similar wording. There is a time and place for AI, but building your authority in the media is an opportunity for your voice to be heard.
