For every query, especially in popular niches, there is a huge number of pitches from sources, and that means more work for the journalist to sort through and pick relevant pitches. Given that a recent study reveals that only 35% of all HARO pitches get published on the target sites, here’s how to stand out: Be thorough When responding, you want to make sure that you increase your chances of having your pitch included in the journalist's story. If the query comes with more than one question, respond to each question without cherry picking what to respond to and what to ignore.
It makes your pitch easier to pick out from a Job Function Email Database bunch of poorly done pitches. Publishers sourcing from HARO are always looking for unique, personalized answers that have been written to provide value. Include your details in the query such as your company name, a short bio, your name, your site’s URL and your headshot. This makes it easier for the reporter to check you out online to learn more about you. Also, in case they want to reach out for more information, an easy way to do that is by using the details you provided without having to spend more time looking for your contact information. Respond quickly Journalists, content creators, and reporters are always on a deadline, with most of them working on several stories at a time. The longer you take to respond to HARO queries, you’re less likely to have your pitch reviewed, let alone having the journalist use it. If you’re not in the EST zone, set aside a particular time of your workday to review the queries you receive and respond. If you’re responding to several queries at the same time, make your work easier by using a writing assistant to help you respond to more queries in less time. Keep your pitch straight to the point Journalists are often looking to quote you directly in their story, and for that reason, you want to get direct to the point as soon as possible. This way, they don’t have to edit your pitch to make it fit into their story. Ideally you should provide substantive details in your response while limiting your pitch to 150-200 words. Scale your HARO pitches HARO comes with different pricing plans: Free, Standard, Advanced and Premium. If you’re just getting started with the service, use the free plan.
The paid plans come with a variety of features, such as better support, priority when receiving queries, more than a single profile, and more. All these matter when you’re looking to scale your link building activities using HARO, such as adding more team members to the service, hiring a VA to edit and submit your responses to queries. You can also have 2-3 team members signing up as sources for HARO to respond to more queries and increase the chance of being featured in different publications. Use templates to help you maintain the quality and consistency of your pitches. Whichever the plan you choose when scaling up, what matters most is the quality of your responses. Once you’ve nailed that, you can always level up as you wish and include more team members to help you scale your responses.
