Become an expertEngineers, plant managers and technical buyers send us questions about pumps, valves, flow, level and temperature measurement, mixing and filtration. Each one goes to a named specialist at a manufacturer. Put one of your people on that panel and their name, and your company, sits under every answer they give.
We look for people who answer questions rather than pitch. That is the whole reason readers take the panel seriously.
Not an advertisement that runs for a month, but a technical answer with your engineer’s name on it that stays findable.
Every published answer carries the expert’s name, role and employer, with a link to your manufacturer page. Readers can weigh who is talking, and that is exactly why they read it.
Your expert gets a profile in Our Experts and appears on the technology zone and market pages they cover, next to the equipment your buyers are comparing.
Answers travel through the site and the twice-weekly e-newsletters, and they stay online afterwards. The next person with the same problem finds your answer, not a brochure.
Name the person who answers, and pick the technology zones your company actually builds for. A shared inbox does not work here: the answer needs a face.
Answer the question that was asked. Naming your own equipment is fine when it genuinely is the answer; turning the reply into a sales page is not, and we will send it back.
Questions arrive in bursts. If your expert cannot take one, say so and we route it to another specialist, which is better for everyone than silence.
There is no automated intake and no form letter back. An editor reads it, looks at the zones, and replies personally. An expert slot only works when the person behind it wants to do it.
Not every zone has an expert on call. If yours is thin, say so and you will not be waiting in a queue.
We use your details to answer your application, nothing else.
One expert is included with an Enhanced or Partner listing. There is no separate fee for the panel and no charge per answer. See what an upgraded listing includes.
Volumes differ per zone, and we would rather tell you what we actually see in yours than quote an average. Ask us before you commit and you get the real number.
Your expert gets the questions in their zones. If one falls outside them, we route it elsewhere, and if a question does not suit your expert, tell us and we pass it on.
No. This builds standing, not a lead list. We publish the question without anything that identifies who sent it, and we do not pass their details to the expert or to anyone else.
A correction is always possible: tell us and we update it. Withdrawing a published answer is something we look at case by case, because other pages and newsletters may already link to it.
Yes. Say the word and the profile comes down. Answers that are already published stay online under the expert’s name, unless we agree otherwise.
One named person, the zones you build for, and your company under every answer they give.
The Weekly E-Update lands on Tuesday and E-Product & Market Insights on Thursday: new equipment, projects and answers from across fluid handling and processing.
