Paste Article URLs
Use this method when you need the highest precision.
If you already know which articles are relevant, paste their URLs directly. We read each link, extract the byline, and add the journalist with contact details and pitch context.
What to paste
Paste one URL per line. You can add multiple articles at once:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/example/2025/02/02/top-startups-to-watch/
https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/example-campaign-analysis/| Situation | What to paste |
|---|---|
| Competitor coverage you want to replicate | Articles where competitors were featured |
| Trade publications in your niche | Stories from industry-specific outlets |
| Target outlet features | Round-ups or trend pieces you want to be in |
When to use URL paste
| Use it when... | Why it works |
|---|---|
| You found the perfect article | Get the exact journalist who wrote it |
| You are doing competitor research | Find who actually covers companies like yours |
| You need guaranteed relevance | No guessing — you picked the articles, so the journalists are already proven fits |
Tips
- Collect 5-20 articles before starting — batch processing is more efficient than one-by-one
- Mix big outlets with trade publications — national press plus industry-specific outlets gives you a balanced list
- Use recent articles — journalists are more likely to respond to pitches about topics they covered recently
- Combine with other search methods — use AI Search or Keyword Search to find similar journalists beyond your initial articles
