Pages: Press Coverage
Guides press coverage and media mentions aggregation—showcasing third-party coverage from authoritative sites to build trust. Optional page; when coverage is sparse, implement as a small "As Seen In" or "As Featured In" section on homepage or elsewhere. Distinct from media-kit-page-generator (assets for journalists). For conceptual overview and comparison table, see reference.md.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read for company story and key messages.
Identify:
- Coverage volume: Few mentions vs substantial
- Format: Full page vs section
- Sources: Publications, podcasts, awards, industry lists
Full Page vs Section
| Format | When to Use | Placement |
|---|
| Full page | Substantial coverage (10+ mentions); journalists visit for expert contacts; "inbound PR" | /press, /news, /in-the-news |
| Section | Sparse coverage (1–10); quick credibility; logo strip or quote carousel | Homepage below hero; About page; footer |
Rule: Homepage section = logos only, minimal, below main CTA. Full page = headlines, links, dates, contact.
Full Page Structure
| Element | Guideline |
|---|
| Coverage list | Chronological or by publication; headline, outlet, date, link |
| Separation | Press coverage (third-party) vs press releases (company-authored); coverage carries more credibility |
| Types | News, podcasts, video features, awards, "Best X" lists |
| Contact | Media inquiries; link to media kit |
| Dates | Optional on evergreen content; omit to keep timeless |
Section Structure ("As Seen In" / "As Featured In")
| Element | Guideline |
|---|
| Logos | Publication logos; high-contrast, consistent size |
| Placement | Below hero/CTA; above fold or just below |
| Quote | Optional: one compelling snippet; extract from best coverage |
| Link | Optional: "See all coverage" → full page if exists |
Avoid: Clutter; too many logos; low-authority outlets that dilute trust.
Content Types to Aggregate
| Type | Example |
|---|
| News articles | Forbes, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, industry trade |
| Podcasts | Interview features, guest appearances |
| Video | TV segments, YouTube features |
| Awards | "Best X 2024," "Top 10 Startups" |
| Reviews | Product reviews, roundups |

- Third-party > self-authored: Media mentions beat press releases for credibility

- Format (full page vs section) recommendation
- Structure (elements, order)
- Copy (headline, intro if full page)
