FAQ

How do I get CNET to review my product? Pitch a consumer tech product with hands-on review value to the relevant CNET editor or reviewer. There is no free self-serve directory listing.

Is CNET good for B2B SaaS launches? Usually a weak fit unless you have a consumer angle or notable market impact. B2B founders often get better ROI from trade press and Product Hunt.

Does CNET coverage help SEO? Articles link to your site, but we rate backlink quality Weak for DR pass-through. Value is brand traffic and consumer credibility, not link building.

How is CNET different from PCMag? Both review consumer software and hardware. CNET skews toward mainstream consumer tech; PCMag focuses more on software comparisons and Editors' Choice lists.
