Qwoted: Dem Original-HARO am nächsten, mit verifizierten Journalisten. Source of Sources: Kostenlos, erstellt von HARO-Gründer Peter Shankman. Featured.com: Hat die HARO-Marke im April 2025 erworben, bezahltes Modell ab $49/Monat. Direktes LinkedIn-basiertes Journalisten-Outreach bleibt ergänzend die effektivste Methode.
