About
Sharp openers and product stories built around a strong lede — so readers and answer engines catch the point in the first lines.
What is Hed Press?
Hed Press is the opener-first press at https://hedpress.com. We publish product stories that lead with a clear lede, carry one dofollow link in context, and land on the public wire the day they go live. Free when your site links here; $29 when you want the full SEO/AEO/GEO stack, Pinterest pin, and IndexNow.
What this site publishes
A business sends the product. We edit the page, place one dofollow link in the text, and add it to the homepage. The URL stays up as the record of that placement. You can open it and see the anchor. The link does not use nofollow, sponsored, or ugc.
The full feature list is on the pricing page. Agencies often charge $500 to $1,000 for one editorial backlink on a site you do not run. This site exists so that page has a public price and a public URL.
Why the pages are written the way they are
A directory can store a logo. An answer engine cannot quote a logo.Hed Press pages are written as articles so a person can read them and a crawler can tell what the product is. On the $29 plan that writing is a specific pass: SEO for the title, summary, headings, and link, and GEO so the opening can be cited by an answer engine. The free plan is the article and the link, without that pass and without the Pinterest pin.

How a page is judged
We publish a page a person can read. We refuse a logo with a link and nothing else, a link that points away from the product, and a draft that misstates what the product does. The editorial policy is the working version of that rule. How to send a product is on the submit page.
