Questions
Things people ask us.
Buying placements
What is SellHax?
A marketplace for PR placements: sponsored articles, press releases, mentions in existing articles, newsletters, podcasts and creator posts on verified publications. You plan, order, approve and pay in one place, and track whether AI assistants start citing you.
How do I pay?
Top up your wallet by card, UPI or netbanking (in rupees or US dollars). When you order, the amount is held in escrow. The publisher is paid only when you approve the live placement, or automatically 72 hours after it goes live if our check passes.
What does it cost?
The publisher's price plus a 15% service fee, shown on every price before you pay. No subscription, no setup fee.
What if a publisher declines or is late?
You get the full amount back in your balance straight away. Publishers have 3 days to accept a request; if they miss the deadline by more than 2 days, you can cancel for a full refund.
Can I get my unused balance back?
Yes. Unused balance never expires and can be withdrawn to your bank.
Are the links nofollow or sponsored?
Each offer states its link type. The default is rel="sponsored", which follows Google's guidelines for paid placements. Some publishers offer other types; the attribute is checked when the placement goes live.
AI features
What does the AI do?
It builds media lists for your goal and budget, drafts articles and press releases from your brand kit, flags claims an editor might question, and checks whether AI assistants mention you. Nothing is sent or published without your approval.
Will the AI make things up?
It is told to use only the facts in your brand kit and brief. The claims check flags statements that need proof, so you can fix them before anything goes out.
How does AI visibility tracking work?
You list the questions your customers ask. Every week we ask an AI assistant with live web search, and record whether you were mentioned, whether your site was cited, and which sources it used.
Publishing
Who can list a publication?
Owners of websites, newsletters, podcasts, creator profiles and channels. You prove ownership with a DNS record, a meta tag, or by signing in with Google Search Console, and we review every publication. Connect Google Analytics too to show your real traffic.
How much do publishers pay?
Nothing to list. You set your price and receive it in full; the buyer's service fee is added on top.
When do I get paid?
As soon as the buyer approves, or automatically after 72 hours once our check passes. Withdraw by bank transfer, UPI, PayPal or Wise, sent within 3 working days.
Do I have to accept every order?
No. Accept or decline each one, and set a limit on how many you take at once.
