The actual problem

Somebody is searching your name right now

A prospect, a partner, a journalist, an investor. They type your name, they read the first page, and they decide. If what they find is a LinkedIn profile, a thin about page and three results that are not about you, you have not failed their test. You were never in it.

  • An ad buys attention for as long as you pay for it. An article stays up.
  • Your own website says what you say about yourself. A third-party article does not.
  • Search engines and AI assistants both answer from published pages. You cannot be quoted from a page that does not exist.

What you actually get

Eight things, and the two we are honest about

This is the same eight-row package the category sells at this price. Two of those rows are routinely oversold, and both are marked. Read those two first.

The honest version

A live link to your site inside the article

Here is the part most offers at this price lie about. Medium links are nofollow. We print that on its page, in the open, before you buy, and we print the follow or nofollow policy of every other outlet we carry. What a placement actually buys you is a real article on a domain that Google crawls and whose robots.txt allows the major AI answer engines. Anyone promising you a ranking at this price is selling you something they cannot deliver.

The honest version

Up to 1,000 words, your own images, and 2 to 4 links

Two to four links, not seven. We cap it on purpose: a 1,000 word article carrying seven links to one website reads like a link farm to both a human editor and a search engine, and those are the pieces that get quietly pulled six months later. You upload your own header and in-article photos with the brief, unbranded photos and headshots only, because logos and promotional graphics get rejected in editorial review.

One feature article about you, published on Medium

Medium is Domain Authority 95 and indexed by Google. That is the domain your article publishes on. Whether any individual article gets indexed is Google's call, not ours, and we will not pretend otherwise. Listed in our catalog at the same price you are paying here. Not a directory entry, not a wire release that nobody reads: a written article with your name on it, at a URL of its own.

Live within 10 business days, or your money back

The catalog lists Medium's turnaround as 1 Day. 10 business days from your brief is the outside line we will be held to, and missing it is a full refund, not a credit. The clock pauses while a draft is with you, because that part is not ours to control.

Written for you, from a brief that takes three minutes

You answer a short form: who you are, what you want known, what to avoid. Our editorial desk writes the piece. Agencies bill $50 to $200 for this alone, which is why it is counted at its real value below and not pretended to be free.

You approve the draft before anything publishes

The draft lands in your account. Approve it, or send it back with notes, as many rounds as it takes. Nothing reaches the outlet until you have signed off, and the turnaround clock pauses while the draft is with you.

Proof you can keep: the live URL, and a dated screenshot with it

Pages get reorganised and archives get pruned. Your placement is delivered with the live link, and the desk sends a dated screenshot alongside it so your proof of coverage outlives the page. We also re-check the link on a schedule and re-place it free if it stops resolving in the first 90 days.

Two minutes to start. No quote form, no sales call

Pay, fill the brief, approve the draft. There is no discovery call, no proposal, and nobody will phone you. The price is on this page because every price on this site is on a page.

The part other pages leave out

Two things this will not do, printed before you pay

Every offer in this category is sold on the same two claims. Both are overstated, and a buyer who finds out after paying never buys again. So here they are, up front, while you can still change your mind.

01

What this will not do

Medium links are nofollow. This placement does not pass link equity to your site, and no wording on this page will pretend it does.

What it does instead

It publishes a written article about you, at a URL of its own, on a domain Google crawls and whose robots.txt allows the major AI answer engines. If link equity is what you are buying, our catalog has a follow-policy filter and dofollow outlets behind it.

02

What this will not do

Nobody can promise you a Google ranking, guaranteed indexing or a citation by an AI assistant at this price. We do not, and the sellers who do cannot deliver it either.

What it does instead

It gives the search for your name something written, dated and screenshotted to find, instead of a LinkedIn profile and three results about somebody else.

We would rather lose a sale to this section than win one it would have refunded.

The value stack

What comes with the placement, and what each piece is worth

Not invented numbers. Each figure is our own valuation of a piece that is normally bundled into the price, at what buying it separately would be worth. Rows without a price are genuinely included and say so instead of carrying a made-up figure.

Custom article writing

We write the article. Agencies charge $50 to $200 for this alone.

Why us

The catalog is the proof

We do not ask you to trust a testimonial. Every outlet we sell has its own page with its price, its Domain Authority, its turnaround and its follow policy on it, before you pay and whether or not you ever do.

There is a separate bundle for that, with its own page and its own guarantee.

Why us

  • Every outlet has its own pagePrice, Domain Authority, turnaround and follow policy, published before you pay and whether or not you ever do.
  • The follow policy is printed, not impliedIncluding the ones that are nofollow. Filter the catalog by it if link equity is what you are buying.
  • The price you pay here is the catalog priceThis page does not have its own pricing. It sells a listing you can open in another tab and read.

FAQ

Every question a skeptic would ask

Who is this for?

Founders, consultants, coaches, authors, agencies and anyone selling on credibility who currently has nothing to point at when a prospect searches their name. If you already have tier-1 coverage, start at the Pro plan or buy directly from the catalog instead.

What exactly do I get for $97?

One feature article about you, written by our editorial desk, approved by you, and published on Medium at a URL of its own. Plus the extras listed on this page: the dated screenshot, live-link monitoring, the As Seen On badge kit and the Authority Playbook, which arrives with your order confirmation. We value that bundle at $348, itemised below so you can judge the figure yourself.

Can I choose a different outlet?

Yes, and you can see the price before you choose. The $97 offer is specifically the Medium listing because that is what $97 buys. Everything else in the catalog is on its own page with its own price, from this level up to the national names.

Can I make revisions to the article?

As many as you need. The draft goes to your account, you approve it or send it back with notes, and the writer revises. Nothing is submitted to the outlet until you approve it.

Will this help my SEO?

Medium links are nofollow, so this will not pass link equity, and we will not pretend otherwise. What it does do is publish a real, well written article about you at a URL of its own on a domain Google crawls and whose robots.txt allows the major AI answer engines. We cannot promise it will be indexed, that it will rank, or that any assistant will cite it, and nobody at this price can. If passing link equity is the goal, filter the catalog by follow policy and buy a dofollow outlet instead. We publish that filter precisely so you can.

Can I say "As Seen On"?

You can say you were published on the outlet, because you were, and we give you a badge kit where every logo links to your actual article so the claim is checkable. What you should not do is imply an endorsement by the outlet. Nobody at Medium is vouching for you, and a badge that links to a real piece is more persuasive than one that does not.

Is this earned press or paid placement?

Paid placement, the same model behind every press distribution service at this price. Earned national coverage is a different product that takes months and costs thousands. We are explicit about which one you are buying because the two are constantly blurred at this price point.

What is the difference between the one-time and the monthly plan?

The one-time article is Medium specifically, a named outlet whose price, Domain Authority and follow policy you can read before you pay, and it carries the 10 business day guarantee. Nothing renews. The plan is a placement every month with the outlet matched to your niche and shown to you before we write, at $97 a month, months rolling over and never expiring. The plan carries no turnaround guarantee, because the outlet is chosen after you subscribe. Buy once if you want one article, published this week, at a URL of its own. Take the plan if you want a footprint.

Do I need an account to subscribe?

No. Check out as a guest and we create the account from the email you pay with, so your placements, drafts and invoices are all waiting for you. Your first brief arrives as a direct link in the confirmation email and needs no password at all.

How do I cancel a plan?

Cancel any time and the next charge stops. One email, answered by a person, no retention call. Email [email protected] from the address you paid with and we stop the renewal. Placements you have already paid for stay yours: they are banked on your account and never expire. Months that have already run are not refunded, which is the same rule our refund policy applies to every time-based product.

Is there a guarantee?

On the one-time article, yes. Your article publishes within 10 business days of your brief, or you get every dollar back. No questions, no store credit, back to the card you paid with. We can offer that because we are not the outlet: if a placement does not run, we have not spent your money. The monthly plans do not carry a turnaround guarantee, because the outlet is matched after you subscribe. Cancel any time and the next charge stops. Placements you have already paid for never expire.

Who is Essentras?

A media placement marketplace with every price in the open, no quote forms and no card required to browse. Payment runs through Stripe or 50+ cryptocurrencies, and every order carries the same terms: pay upfront, and if we do not deliver, you get a full refund.

Give the search for your name something to find

One article, written for you, published at a URL of its own, for $97. Or the same thing every month. You can read the catalog price of every outlet we sell before you spend anything.

Your article publishes within 10 business days of your brief, or you get every dollar back.

Essentras is a paid PR and content distribution service. Placements are paid editorial, not earned editorial coverage. Outlet names are shown to identify where content is published and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation. Links on Medium are nofollow. We do not promise search rankings, indexing or citation by any AI assistant, and you should distrust anyone at this price who does.
