<h2>What actually counts.</h2>
<p>USCIS looks at three things: the publication's stature, whether the article is <em>about you</em> (not just quoting you), and the field relevance.</p>
</div>
<div class="what-counts-grid">
<div class="what-card">
<h3>Major trade &amp; industry publications</h3>
<p>Profile or feature pieces in publications respected within your specialty.</p>
<ul>
<li>Industry trade press (TechCrunch for tech, Variety for film, etc.)</li>
<li>Specialty publications with broad circulation in your field</li>
<li>Recognized academic-adjacent outlets (Nature News, Quanta, MIT Tech Review)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="what-card">
<h3>Major general media</h3>
<p>Coverage in publications with broad national or international reach.</p>
<ul>
<li>National newspapers and magazines</li>
<li>Major broadcast / streaming media segments</li>
<li>Established business or news outlets</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="what-card">
<h3>Long-form digital media</h3>
<p>Substantive coverage in respected digital outlets and podcasts with editorial standards.</p>
<ul>
<li>Editorial podcast features (not promotional)</li>
<li>YouTube channels with credentialed editorial process</li>
<li>Newsletter platforms with verified scale</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="anti-card">
<h3>What doesn't count</h3>
<p>Common applicant mistakes that USCIS routinely rejects.</p>
<ul>
<li>Self-published blog posts or LinkedIn articles you wrote</li>
<li>Press releases distributed by your employer</li>
<li>Brief quotes in articles primarily about someone else</li>
<li>Sponsored content or pay-to-publish outlets</li>
<li>Coverage outside your professional field</li>

<h2>How the engagement works.</h2>
<p>A structured 90-day program. Editorial outreach, not paid placement. No guarantees, but a defined process.</p>
</div>
<div class="steps">
<div class="step">
<div class="step-num">1</div>
<h3>Story discovery</h3>
<p>We work with you to identify the angles in your work that journalists will actually find newsworthy.</p>
</div>
<div class="step">
<div class="step-num">2</div>
<h3>Outlet mapping</h3>
<p>We build a target list of publications matched to your field, your story, and USCIS's stature requirements.</p>
</div>
<div class="step">
<div class="step-num">3</div>
<h3>Pitch &amp; coordinate</h3>
<p>Tailored pitches to identified journalists. We coordinate interviews, fact-checking, and review windows.</p>
</div>
<div class="step">
<div class="step-num">4</div>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>Published coverage formatted as O-1A exhibits, with circulation evidence and editorial credential documentation.</p>

<h2>What we don't do.</h2>
<p>Honest about the boundary between PR and pay-to-play.</p>
</div>
<div style="max-width: 760px; margin: 0 auto; display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:16px;">
<div class="anti-card">
<h3>No paid placements</h3>
<p>We don't buy coverage. Paid editorial undermines O-1A admissibility and is increasingly flagged by USCIS adjudicators. Every placement is earned editorial.</p>
</div>
<div class="anti-card">
<h3>No guaranteed coverage counts</h3>
<p>We guarantee structured outreach to a defined number of outlets. We do not guarantee any specific journalist will write about you, or any specific publication will run a piece.</p>
</div>
<div class="anti-card">
<h3>No fake bylines</h3>
<p>We don't write articles for you to "publish under your name" in outlets that take submissions for fees. USCIS regularly rejects these.</p>
