Editorial Placements

Four ways to earn a permanent seat inside our editorial network.

Each placement type — from featured editorials to listicle positions, contextual mentions, and retained PR — is reviewed for editorial fit before publication. This protects the trust readers place in our content and maximises the value your brand receives from appearing in it.

01 — Placement

Featured Editorial Placement

A dedicated, in-depth editorial feature that earns reader trust and positions your brand as the credible answer — not an ad they scroll past.

Ranking Placement (Listicle)

Comparison-style listicle placements that put your brand in front of B2B buyers at the exact decision moment. Position determines visibility, click-through rate, and trust transfer — the earlier the position, the more buyer attention your brand captures. Each position is sold once per page, permanently.

Why Choose 9cv9

The smartest way to earn B2B trust, SEO authority and qualified leads.

Most B2B digital PR fails because it looks like advertising. Our editorial-first approach means your brand appears inside content that readers already trust — and that Google and AI search engines rank highly.

01

Editorial-First, Not Advertorial

Every placement reads as genuine editorial — informative, research-backed, and valuable to the reader. Your brand earns trust instead of being scrolled past.

02

Permanent SEO Asset

Unlike campaigns that expire, your placement lives forever. The contextual dofollow backlink continues to build domain authority and search rankings indefinitely.

03

Buyer-Facing, Decision-Stage Content

Your brand appears where B2B buyers actively research solutions — comparison articles, best-of lists, and in-depth guides at the critical decision stage.

04

Compounding Returns

As editorial content ranks higher over time, your placement's visibility, traffic, and lead generation compound — delivering value long after the initial investment.

05

AI Search Optimised

Our editorial structure follows answer-first formats that ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity prioritise when citing sources — giving you visibility beyond traditional search.

06

Selective Quality Control

We limit placements to protect editorial integrity. Every brand is reviewed for relevance before acceptance, ensuring the content stays trustworthy and valuable to readers.

Ranking Placements

Every advertiser guide is capped at 10 featured brands — position determines buyer attention.

Position determines how much of the buyer's decision-making attention your brand captures. Earlier positions generate more visibility, clicks, and trust transfer. Once a position is sold on a given page, it's closed permanently for the life of that page. Positions 1-3 consistently see the highest engagement from B2B decision-makers.

From application to permanent placement in four steps.

Our editorial process is designed to produce content that earns buyer trust, ranks in search engines, and generates qualified leads — starting from a single conversation about your brand and goals.

Tell us the goal

Share your industry, target buyers and primary objective — brand trust, SEO authority, or qualified lead generation. We'll assess editorial fit.

We confirm fit & availability

Every placement is reviewed for editorial relevance. If your brand is a good match, we reserve a position and confirm pricing before moving forward.

We research & write

Our editorial team produces research-backed content built to earn trust — never a generic advertorial. We incorporate your expertise, case studies, and brand narrative.

Publish & compound

Your placement goes live permanently, continuing to build visibility, trust, backlink authority, and qualified leads over time as the content ranks higher in search.

Limited placements available

We reply within 1 business day. No spam, ever.
FAQ

Everything you need to know about B2B editorial placements and digital PR.

Is this different from traditional PR?

Yes. Instead of a one-off press release, your brand is featured in evergreen editorial content that keeps building buyer trust, search rankings and qualified inbound leads long after it's live.

Will this read as an ad?

No. Every placement follows an editorial-first approach — informative, research-backed content that readers trust, not a disguised advert they scroll past.

How do editorial placements help SEO?

Each placement includes a contextual dofollow backlink from a trusted editorial domain. These editorial backlinks signal authority to search engines and compound in value over time as the content continues to rank and attract readers.

How long do placements stay live?

Placements are published permanently, so the trust, visibility and SEO benefit continues to compound rather than expiring like a campaign.

Why are placements limited?

Each page — and each listicle position — is reserved for one brand only. Limiting how many placements we accept keeps the editorial quality high, which is what makes the placement valuable to you.

What is the difference between a Featured Editorial and a Ranking Placement?

A Featured Editorial Placement is a dedicated article focused solely on your brand, ideal for thought leadership. A Ranking Placement puts your brand inside a comparison-style listicle, with position determining visibility and click-through rate.

What industries do you cover?

We cover 10 major B2B sectors: SaaS & cloud, HR & recruitment tech, fintech, healthcare & health tech, cybersecurity, enterprise software, professional services, e-commerce & retail tech, real estate & proptech, and education technology.

How do I know which placement is right for my brand?

Contact us with your industry, target buyers, and primary goal — brand trust, SEO, or qualified leads. We'll recommend the right placement type and position based on your objectives and budget.

Can you guarantee search rankings?

We guarantee editorial quality and permanent placement. While we cannot guarantee specific search rankings, every placement follows SEO best practices — relevant keywords, editorial context, and natural backlinks — to maximise ranking potential.

What's included in the retained program?

Recurring placements, contextual mentions and ongoing PR execution, so your brand maintains continuous visibility and lead flow rather than a single spike.

How do I secure a placement?

Payment is handled securely via Stripe. If you'd like to confirm availability and fit first, check eligibility through our contact form and we'll reply within one business day.

Do you offer refunds?

We review every placement for editorial fit before accepting. If your brand isn't a good match, we'll let you know before payment. Once published, placements are permanent and non-refundable.

How long does the editorial process take?

The full process — from application to publication — typically takes 2-3 weeks, including editorial review, custom research, writing, design, and publishing.

Can I provide my own content or examples?

Yes. We encourage clients to share case studies, customer testimonials, and subject-matter expertise to build a more authentic and credible editorial feature.

What makes a placement editorial-first?

Editorial-first means the content is structured around reader value — informative research, actionable insights, and genuine expertise. Your brand is featured naturally within that context, not as a disruptive advertisement.

Do you work with startups?

Yes. We work with companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups to enterprise brands. The key requirement is that your product offers genuine value to the readers of the publication.

How do I track my placement's performance?

We provide post-publication reporting including live URL, estimated monthly traffic, backlink confirmation, and search impression data where available.

Is the backlink dofollow or nofollow?

Our standard placements include dofollow contextual backlinks that pass link equity. Nofollow options are available on request.

Can I get placement in a specific publication?

We work with our own editorial network rather than pitching external publications. This guarantees editorial quality, placement permanence, and contextual relevance for your brand.

What's the difference between digital PR and sponsored content?

Sponsored content is typically labelled and ignored by readers. Our editorial placements are indistinguishable from organic content — they earn trust because they provide genuine value first. This is the core difference between traditional sponsored content and editorial-first digital PR.
