Partner/Work With Us

CountMade exists to highlight American quality and guide buyers to products that keep U.S. jobs and craftsmanship thriving. If you build in the USA—or are moving in that direction—we’d love to talk!

Who We Work With

U.S. manufacturers and brands with All or Virtually All U.S. content

U.S. Assembled brands (final assembly here; select imported parts)

Brands with Partial U.S. Content that are transparent and improving their domestic footprint

How We Partner

Editorial features

CountMade’s editorial content is independent. We cover products, brands, and factories because they align with our mission of showcasing genuine Made-in-USA quality not because of payments.

  • Types of features: in-depth brand profiles, product spotlights, interviews, and factory tours.
  • Selection process: chosen by our editorial team based on relevance, authenticity, and reader value.
  • Not guaranteed: submitting a brand does not guarantee coverage. If a product doesn’t meet our standards (per our Methodology), we will not feature it.
  • Costs: there is no payment required for editorial inclusion. We may accept review samples for testing, but coverage is at our discretion.

Sponsored features

Sponsored placements allow U.S.-based companies to present their story or products to our audience while remaining clearly labeled. These do not replace independent reviews, they are additive opportunities.

  • Value filter: we only accept sponsorships from brands that contribute real value to U.S. manufacturing and align with CountMade’s mission.
  • Labeling: all sponsored content is clearly marked (“Sponsored” or “Advertisement”) in compliance with FTC guidelines.
  • Review integrity: sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review or override our standards. If we write independently about the same product, we disclose the sponsorship relationship.
  • Formats: sponsored articles, homepage highlights, category hub features, or custom campaigns.

Newsletter / Affiliate

Our bi-weekly newsletter and on-site category hubs are designed to connect readers with relevant American-made options.

  • Measurement: sponsored newsletter placements include basic performance metrics (opens, clicks).
  • Newsletter inclusions: brands may be highlighted in featured product sections, deal alerts, or spotlight segments if they meet our standards.
  • Category hubs: curated landing pages (e.g., Apparel, Tools, Outdoors) where brands/products are grouped by type. Inclusion is editorially managed; sponsored upgrades may be available but always labeled.
  • Targeting: newsletter segmentation allows us to reach readers by interest (e.g., cooking gear vs. workwear).

Affiliate relationships help sustain CountMade’s mission at no cost to readers. We participate only in reputable networks and programs.

  • Networks: ShareASale, Impact, CJ Affiliate, Awin, and other vetted U.S. networks.
  • Link treatment: all affiliate links are coded with rel="sponsored" and disclosures are placed clearly near links in compliance with FTC guidance.
  • Editorial firewall: brands cannot buy favorable coverage. Affiliate links are added only after a product passes our Methodology standards.
  • Transparency: if a product is not available through an affiliate program but is still relevant, we will recommend it anyway.

What We’re Looking For

  • Brands with a clear commitment to American manufacturing — whether 100% U.S.-made, assembled domestically, or actively increasing U.S. sourcing.
  • Products that combine quality, durability, and authentic American value.
  • Transparent, straightforward communication about origin, sourcing, and production.

What You’ll Gain

  • Exposure to a growing audience of consumers actively seeking American-made alternatives.
  • The opportunity to be featured in editorial reviews, newsletters, category hubs, and partnership campaigns.
  • A long-term relationship with a platform dedicated to trust, clarity, and elevating American brands.

Standards & Integrity

  • Our Methodology & Standards page explains how we classify origin claims. We verify using labels, documentation, and direct brand communication.
  • Sponsored content never dictates verdicts. If we test or review, we say what we find.
  • Samples: accepted for evaluation only; sending a sample doesn’t guarantee coverage. Samples may be returned, donated, or retained for long-term testing at our discretion.
  • For paid placements we can report impressions, clicks, geographic distribution, and (where applicable) affiliate performance.

At CountMade, we’re not just looking for one-off features — we’re building a network of brands that represent the future of American manufacturing. If that sounds like your company, let’s start the conversation. Thank you for your interest!
