What is included
- A structured written interview shaped around your experience, company, and point of view
- An SEO-optimized interview that shows up when people search your name, so investors, customers, and partners find a professional story. Every feature is optimized by our editorial team for maximum reach: keyword-targeted headlines, meta descriptions, and internal linking across our topic pages. The story and materials remain your property; we only fine-tune the on-page elements that help the article rank.
- Professional editing and formatting for publication on ceomedium.com
- A founder or executive bio with links to your company and professional profile
- Placement of approved photos and company visuals you provide (up to 5 images: JPG or PNG; you must own them or have permission to use them)
- One factual review before publication so names, titles, dates, and company details are accurate
- One editorial article announcement on CEO Medium’s social channels (headline, neutral description, article link, featured image)
- Promotion of your feature on all CEO Medium platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Flipboard, and Substack), plus inclusion in CEO Medium’s advertising campaigns, so your visibility extends well beyond the article itself
- A permanent article URL, subject to CEO Medium’s standard site and archive policies
- A branded ‘As Featured in CEO Medium’ creative for your own website and social channels
- A contributor account on ceomedium.com: after your application is accepted, you or your agency can draft and submit interview materials under your own account and byline. Submissions go into editorial review, and nothing is published until our team completes a final SEO and quality check.
What is not included
- Guaranteed pageviews, leads, sales, search rankings, press coverage, or investor interest
- Unverified claims, misleading comparisons, or statements presented as independent endorsement
- Unlimited rewrites or control over CEO Medium’s editorial standards
- Social posts that promote an offer, discount, or direct sales call to action
Who it is for
A strong feature is not simply a company announcement. It gives readers a useful look at a decision, challenge, turning point, or lesson from the person who lived it.
You may be a good fit if you are:
- A founder or co-founder building an active company
- A chief executive or senior leader with direct operating experience
- A creator or business owner with a clear growth story and practical lessons
- Leading work that is timely, distinctive, or genuinely useful to other professionals
From application to publication
- Apply. Share who you are, what you are building, and the story you want to tell.
- Editorial review. CEO Medium reviews the application for relevance, credibility, and fit.
- Confirm and pay. If accepted, you receive the next steps and a secure payment request for your selected number of features ($297 per feature). You will receive a private payment link in your acceptance email.
- Complete the interview. Answer the interview questions and provide approved photos, links, and supporting details.
- Review and publish. CEO Medium edits the piece, sends it for one factual check, adds the Partner Feature label, and schedules publication.
Straight answers before you apply
Is this a paid feature?
Yes. If your application is accepted and you choose to proceed, the package costs $297 per feature. The article will be clearly labeled “Partner Feature” so readers understand the commercial relationship.
Does payment guarantee publication?
Payment begins production after editorial acceptance. Publication still depends on timely completion of the interview, accurate information, usable materials, and compliance with CEO Medium’s editorial standards. If a piece cannot be published after payment, you receive a full refund.
What is the refund policy?
Submitting an application is free and creates no payment obligation. If your feature is accepted and you pay, but the piece cannot be published, you receive a full refund for that feature. Once production begins on a feature after your interview is submitted, the fee for that feature is non-refundable.
How long does it take?
After acceptance you receive an estimated production schedule with your interview questions and material requirements.
Can I approve the article before it goes live?
You receive one factual review before publication for correcting names, titles, dates, company details, quotations, and other factual points. CEO Medium retains control of the headline, structure, editing, and presentation.
Can I choose what the article says?
You can share your experience, perspective, and supporting information. CEO Medium will not publish claims it considers false, misleading, unlawful, or inappropriate. Payment does not buy a positive verdict or independent endorsement.
Will the feature bring me traffic or sales?
It may help you present your story and create a credible piece of content to share, but no specific result is guaranteed. Audience reach can vary by topic, timing, distribution, and reader interest.
What happens after I apply?
CEO Medium reviews the submission for fit. If accepted, you receive the payment step, interview questions, material requirements, and an estimated production schedule.
Can agencies or publicists apply for a client?
Yes, as long as the featured person participates directly, the submitted information is accurate, and the paid relationship is disclosed. Placing multiple features? Use the code AGENCY5 on the payment page for bundle pricing: 2 for $499, 3 for $699, 4 for $899, or 5 for $999.
Step 1: Apply in 2 minutes
Just the essentials. This takes about 2 minutes. Submitting this form does not guarantee acceptance and does not create a payment obligation.
The package is $297 per feature, only payable if your application is accepted and you choose to proceed.
Step 2: Tell your story
These are the interview questions behind your feature. Answer them now, or come back later with the link in your confirmation email. Use the same work email you applied with so we can match your answers.
Your title gets attention. Your experience earns trust. If you have a real story and a useful point of view, we want to hear it.
