Answer the questions your buyers are already asking.

Product developers, technical buyers and production managers send us questions about coatings, laminates, bonding, fibers and yarns, nonwovens, composites and woven fabrics. Every technology zone on TextilesInside is still open. The first specialist in a zone answers every question that comes in for it, with their name, and your company, under each answer.

Put someone forward See how it works

We look for people who answer questions rather than pitch. That is the whole reason readers take the panel seriously.

What it gives you

Credibility that keeps working after the answer is published

Not an advertisement that runs for a month, but a technical answer with your specialist’s name on it that stays findable.

Your name under the answer

Every published answer carries the expert’s name, role and employer, with a link to your company page. Readers can weigh who is talking, and that is exactly why they read it.

A profile in the panel

Your expert gets a profile in Our Experts and appears on the technology zone and market pages they cover, next to the materials and machinery your buyers are comparing.

Reach beyond the page

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.

What we ask in return

Three things, and they are the whole deal

One person, the zones you work in

Name the person who answers, and pick the technology zones your company actually works in. A shared inbox does not work here. The answer needs a face.

A technical answer, not a pitch

Answer the question that was asked. Naming your own product is fine when it genuinely is the answer; turning the reply into a sales page is not, and we will send it back.

A reply within five working days

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.

Where it shows up

Four places, from one answer

On the published question itself, in the archive that readers and search engines find.
In Our Experts, with photo, employer and the zones they cover.
On the technology zone and market pages they cover, next to the materials and machinery your buyers are comparing.
On the Ask the Expert page, where every visitor with a technical question lands.

FAQ

Before you put someone forward

What does it cost?

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.

How much time does it take?

The panel is new, so we will not quote you an average that means nothing. Tell us the zone you would cover and we will tell you what we actually see coming in for it.

Can we choose which questions we answer?

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.

Do we get the details of the person asking?

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.

Can we correct or withdraw an answer later?

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.

Can we stop being an expert?

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.
