Best Way to Get Featured in The Verge (2026): Editorial Routes for Tech Products
The Verge has covered technology and culture since 2011. Coverage there is editorial only. Here are the three routes that actually work, and the guaranteed tech titles you can book alongside them.
Can you pay to be featured in The Verge?
No. The Verge is not in our publication network, and its reviews and news are editorial decisions. We will not promise a feature there.
What we can do is prepare your product, story and spokespeople so you have a real chance, and book guaranteed coverage in other tech titles at the same time.

The Verge questions
How do I get featured in The Verge?
Through news, product reviews or interviews. Each needs a real story, a ready product or a strong spokesperson. The Verge is not in our network, so coverage cannot be guaranteed.
Does The Verge accept sponsored articles?
Not through our network. Any paid content on a publisher’s site is handled by its advertising team and clearly labelled.
Who runs The Verge?
Nilay Patel has been editor-in-chief since 2014. Penske Media agreed to acquire The Verge in June 2026.
How do I get a product reviewed?
Offer final review units well before launch, with a clear price, release date and embargo.
What can I book instead?
Digital Trends, VentureBeat, Inverse and Tech Times are in our network and can be guaranteed within 14 days of approval.
