Step 1: Open Your Journalist Profile

  1. Click Profiles in the left-hand menu.

  2. Select Journalists.

  3. Choose the profile you want to optimize.

  4. Click Edit.


Step 2: Box 1 — Complete the Core Information

Box 1 should contain all essential details about your client.
Many journalists will write immediately without replying, so the information here must give them everything they need.

Include:

  • Bio and background

  • Expertise

  • Key achievements

  • Relevant context

  • Anything helpful for writing the article


Step 3: Box 2 — Add the Standout Fact

This will appear in every email.
Choosing one strong, memorable detail helps the journalist quickly understand why your client is noteworthy.

Examples:

  • “Featured in 200+ publications”

  • “Pioneer in regenerative medicine”


Step 4: Box 3 — Add Matching Tips

These help PodPitch match your profile with the right journalists.

Examples:

  • Avoid: “Celebrity medicine”

  • Focus on: “Regenerative medicine,” “Longevity science,” etc.


Step 5: Box 4 — Add Social Media Followers

Include a general number, not a platform breakdown.

Example:

  • “200,000 social media followers”

The AI uses this to communicate value, such as willingness to share the article once published.


Step 6: Add a Profile Signature Link

Include a link to a:

  • Recent article

  • Press page

  • Website

  • Interview

This helps journalists quickly verify credibility and decide whether to write.


💡 Tip

Journalists often write without replying first.
A fully completed profile dramatically increases your chances of publication.
