Side Project

The Expert
Verification Directory

CitedExperts is a free directory for verifying the experts behind media quotes. Built for journalists who need credible sources, PR pros who want their experts found, and experts who want to build their profile.

A labour of love I'm building solo in my spare time. Still early days, growing steadily — and free to use because it should exist.

2
Verify

Check their credentials, past media coverage, and trust signals.

3
Cite

Quote them with confidence in your story, knowing they're legitimate.

The honest bit 👋

CitedExperts is a personal side project — not a startup, not VC-backed, not a team of twenty. It's something I built because I kept running into the problem it solves: journalists can't easily verify whether an expert is legit, and PR people have nowhere neutral to showcase their clients' credentials.

It's free, it's growing, and I work on it whenever I can carve out time outside of client work. If you find it useful, spread the word — that's genuinely the best support you can give right now.
