FAQ

How do I get Time to cover my startup? Pitch a genuine mainstream news hook to the relevant Technology beat reporter. There is no free self-serve directory listing.

Is Time tech coverage free? Earned editorial coverage is free but highly competitive. Paid advertising paths exist separately from newsroom coverage.

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

How is Tech | Time different from TechCrunch? Time is mainstream news with a Technology section. TechCrunch focuses narrowly on startup and venture news — different audiences and editorial bars.
