Conversion rate is going to significantly drop. The last time I tried reaching out to them, it was like speak to a void.
Why do businesses buy out other businesses only to shut it down. Integration into their own system while maintaining the features/services should ideally be the best.

I was surprised to see the email just now. HARO (Connectively) has been a great, budget-friendly choice with strong site connections. However, there are some other options and some HARO reporters may switch to other platforms as an alternative.

What are some of the other alternatives to HARO? I used to like the daily digests - it gave a bit of a pulse on the industry... what other sites do the daily digests? Thanks!

They're shutting it down after acquiring it which suggests they do not care.

1 month, you mean? More than enough in my opinion.

Imagine in Universal Analytics had a one month notice. I would've shot myself...Bro is time travelling.
30 days is average notice period anyway, iirc.

There’s already several alternatives.
Featured.com (Disclosure: I’m the founder)
Qwoted

SourceBottle (based in Australia)

There’s more that have sprung up as well. For the most part, sourcing experts is an infinite problem journalists face. The industry shouldn’t really miss a beat with this announcement.

Might be time to start looking at niche-specific platforms or even direct outreach

A gap in the market also means an opportunity for someone to fill in that void
potential new business ready to be potentially booming
