Medialister changelog

July, 2026. 1st Batch.

While we work on a few major features for both clients and publishers, we’re also adding some small product improvements and, as usual, a bunch of fixes.

Meanwhile, you can also check out our previous notable releases, including the client MCP server and the Google Search Console integration within insights. You can also learn more about our Medialister Attention Index, which aimed to provide another way to measure the impact of PR campaigns.

Improvements

  • Marketplace You can now apply and search filters directly from the search popup, without leaving the search box.

  • Marketplace Clicking "See All Offers" on a package now opens the full catalogue instead of just that folder.

  • Campaign Connecting Google Search Console is now recorded as a project activity, so you can see who connected it and for which domain.

Fixes

  • Marketplace Search now filters correctly when your query includes "https://"—previously it could return every outlet instead of the matching ones.

  • Marketplace Fixed a delay where outlets were slow to load right after applying a filter.

  • Marketplace Now, all the categories, languages, and locations are shown on the offer page instead of just one.

  • Marketplace Corrected the label shown for the "sponsored" link-type filter.

  • Checkout Repeat top-ups using a saved Stripe Link payment method now go through instead of failing.

  • Checkout Your balance now updates correctly right after an order is canceled.

  • Editor Fixed a bug when the formatting menu was shown on another side of the screen.

  • Authentication Fixed a notification issue in the password-update flow.

Meet insights—a new tab in your dashboard that surfaces proactive recommendations for what to work on next, so you're not digging through data to spot your opportunities. New insights arrive as cards in a single feed, each tagged with the project it belongs to, and a badge on the sidebar icon tells you how many are waiting.

The first insight type is striking distance: a weekly shortlist of the pages and keywords that aren't at the top of Google yet but are close enough that a little attention could push them up. It zeroes in on the realistic "almost there" zone—roughly positions 3 to 20—and shows up as a bubble chart, where each bubble is a keyword placed by its Google ranking and sized by its impressions, with your pages listed alongside by average position.

Delivered by Pavel and Yerkebulan.

Improvements

  • Authentication You can now change your account email yourself, without having to go through an admin.

  • Campaigns The campaign empty state is now package-based, with offers suggested in packages for different goals.

  • Offers management Rodion added an option for publishers to choose whether a format's text limit is counted in characters or in words when creating a new format.

  • Marketplace Sensitive topics that are available only for an additional fee with extras are now marked in red on the offer page and in the order drawer. These offers are also included under the related filters.

  • Orders The hints and warnings on the content limits are now more descriptive and rpecise, showing exactly why an order can’t be sent for review.

  • Orders We now show the updated (not) accepted sensitive topics when they change within new placement conditions that must be accepted. Previously, we only indicated that something had changed, without showing what exactly changed. Allowed sensitive topics are also displayed in the order drawer by default too.

  • GSC When connecting Google Search Console, we now verify that the account has a properly connected domain that matches the one entered for a project on Medialister. If it doesn’t, we show an error and a reconnection flow.

Fixes

  • Marketplace Preset-filter links now keep working correctly when UTM parameters are attached.

  • Marketplace Price sorting now behaves reliably when done together with a search query.

  • Extras management Fixed an error that stopped you from buying several extras in a row on the same order.

  • Dashboards Fixed a case where users belonging to multiple organizations couldn't open the client dashboard.

Checkout is now one click. We've collapsed the old multi-step booking and payment process into a single, unified screen, so what used to take several screens and a few back-and-forths now happens in one place. Rodion with Daniil drove this one end to end, retiring the legacy flow along the way.

We've also started connecting Google Search Console. Clients can now link their Search Console account to projects, so we can begin gathering real search performance data. This is the connection step first—a new Insights tab built on that GSC data will follow in a later release. Stay tuned. Pavel with Yerkebulan laid the foundation for the whole integration.

Improvements

  • Campaign After login you're taken back to your campaign board instead of the All Orders view (the All Orders Kanban is still available manually for pro-users). The sidebar "Dashboard" button now redirects to your current campaign too.

  • Client Dashboards Clearer wording on the "Invite" button and its helper text on the empty-state campaign dashboard.

  • Marketplace Customer-case videos on offer pages now play inline with autoplay, and click through to YouTube when you want the full clip.

  • Marketplace Removed the "Tracking Pixel" offer condition everywhere it appeared, and renamed the condition “Author’s name” to “Byline”.

  • Extras management Guarantee and Writing extras now follow clearer eligibility rules—guarantee only shows on permanent placements of a year or longer, and writing is hidden when the publisher already includes writing in the offer terms.

  • MCP You can now list available order extras and move orders between campaigns directly through the MCP server.

  • Offers management Renamed "Author's Name" to "Byline" in the Add Offer section for clearer wording.

Fixes

  • Checkout Fixed balance top-ups failing with a "couldn't process your payment" error for clients using Link account.

  • Checkout Fixed an issue where the existing balance was enough but couldn't be used at checkout without adding a payment method first.

  • Authentication Fixed a redirect loop after email confirmation link was clicked multiple times and left new users stuck on a "redirecting" page during registration.

  • Orders In some cases, it was impossible to add images to order as the system looked for rights to edit in a wrong scope.

  • Orders Corrected the media name shown in an order's Activity feed.

  • Orders AI-assistant actions are now consistently marked "(via Claude / ChatGPT)" across all activity entries.

  • Orders Fixed a "content exceeds allowed limits" error that could block sending an order for review. Now we clearly show what exactly is above or below limits.

  • Dashboards Prepaid orders that include a writing service now appear in the client dashboard right away instead of after a delay.

  • Marketplace Delisted offers no longer show up as clickable items in recommendations.

  • Marketplace The bookmarks folder now should show more than only 10 folders as it was before.

  • Publisher dashboard Fixed the "Featured as" badge filter on the Offers page so results update when applied.

  • Emails Fixed a broken link in the order emails leading to the media website.

Newly Added and Improved

  • Campaign Rodion updated the campaign adding and editing flows to align with the new goal system—fewer questions, a cleaner setup.

  • Orders Submitting a placement link for approval now shows a clear, specific error message when something goes wrong, instead of a generic "try again later."

  • Offers The offer page now includes video testimonials from Medialister clients. Check them out to get to know how others work with the platform.

  • Checkout After you process an order on a successful checkout page, you're now redirected to the dashboard with a clear notification that your order is on review—a more natural next step than the old "Work Together" screen.

  • Texts Pasting from Google Docs, Notion, or other editors no longer carries over extra blank lines between paragraphs. Cleaner pastes in both the order editor and the campaign texts tab.

  • Checkout The billing settings now show your saved payment methods and post-payment status, with a way to request access to post-payment if you're eligible.

  • Billing If you are a publisher, your connected bank account is now visible in the billing information section, so you can confirm at a glance where your payouts are going.

  • Offers management The "Prevent indexing" question when creating an offer now defaults to "No." Most publishers do allow indexing in practice, and this matches reality better.

  • Marketplace Offers with non-permanent placements now make the publication duration much clearer when adding the to a cart from the offer page, so there are no surprises later when an article is taken down.

  • Checkout Tweaked the success page copy to better invite content collaborators—"Ready to create your article? Add your content team to get started."

  • Medialister API We have added metrics to the Medialister API. Check the documentation for more information.

Fixes

  • Marketplace Sorting now works correctly across Monthly Visits, Organic Traffic by Ahrefs, Organic Traffic by Semrush, and Estimated Placement Views.

  • Orders Opening an order no longer flashes an empty white space before the drawer renders—the drawer now appears smoothly.

  • Checkout Invited managers can now complete checkout on accounts with overdraft applied—the permission check that was blocking them with a 403 is fixed.

The marketplace now features a new metric — Attention Index. It estimates how many days a published article from a given outlet typically stays in readers’ memory, based on how long visitors spend on the site and how many pages they browse per session. Think of it as a reader engagement signal — the higher the index, the longer your content is likely to resonate.

You’ll find it as a new column in the marketplace table (shown by default, draggable, sortable), a range filter in the filters panel, and a metric card on each offer’s detail page — complete with a tooltip explaining what the metric means and how it’s calculated.

Kudos to Rodion and Pavel for shipping this one.

Improvements

  • Dashboards All your orders across every project and campaign are now available in a single consolidated view — no more jumping between projects to see the full picture. Thanks to Pavlo and Yerkebulan.

  • Cart The cart got a cleaner redesign: less visual clutter by default and a new option to manage your payment method directly from the cart. Rodion rebuilt this.

  • Checkout The post-payment screen has been redesigned. On a successful payment, you can start working on your order right away or invite collaborators — without navigating elsewhere. Failed and pending states also got updated looks.

  • Offers management Publishers can now specify whether their format accepts client-written content in addition to publisher-written text. The indicator appears in the format settings section of the Add Offer page. Thanks to Yerkebulan.

  • Marketplace The specific category from an offer’s conditions is now visible on the offer page and in the order’s conditions block, so you know exactly what you’re buying.

  • Marketplace Multi-column sorting has been removed from marketplace tables for a cleaner, more predictable browsing experience.

  • Metrics SEO metrics now display “N/A” instead of “0” when data is genuinely unavailable — no more misleading zero values.

  • Extras management Guarantee and Writing add-ons now have smarter eligibility rules. Guarantee is automatically hidden for Contributor Post offers and short-term placements (under 1 year); Writing is hidden when the offer already includes publisher-written content.

  • Offers management The “Author’s Name” field on the Add Offer page is now correctly labeled “Byline.”

  • Publisher dashboard Publishers now receive a notification when their batch of media has been approved by moderators.

Fixes

  • Publisher dashboard Fixed: the “Back” button on the publisher terms screen wasn’t working correctly.

  • Publisher dashboard Fixed: KYB verification was stuck — the flow was redirecting without processing, and country selection was getting stuck.

  • Publisher dashboard Fixed: unable to list or delist offers from approved media.

  • Offers management Fixed: incorrect price calculation for publishers.

  • Checkout Fixed: some users couldn’t complete payment setup due to a missing Stripe customer record. The flow has been reworked to create customer records reliably.

  • Marketplace Fixed: the offer count shown in search results sometimes didn’t match the number of actual results.

  • Members management Fixed: the role selected during the invite flow was not being saved for invited members.

  • Members management Fixed: invited users were incorrectly sent through the new organization creation flow.

  • Dashboards Fixed: the sidebar was sometimes showing stale organization context after switching.

  • Orders Fixed: the order list wasn’t refreshing after moving an order to a different campaign.

  • Metrics Fixed: monthly visits data wasn’t displaying in the media performance table.

  • Emails Fixed: publisher notification emails weren’t being sent after new orders were placed following moderation.

For the post-payment notifications, refer also to our help article in the public posts as it has some important details.

Content management got a lot of love this cycle from Yerkebulan and Sergey. The text editor now surfaces a + button on the left of every block so it's obvious what content types you can add, you can change heading levels on existing text (previously you could only pick the level when writing from scratch), and the attach-to-order flow gives you a clear toast confirmation the moment your text lands in an order. Moving texts between campaigns and projects now works the same way as moving orders.

Improvements

  • Content management You can now move texts between campaigns and projects, the same way as orders.

  • Content management Added a + button on the left of each editor block to make content types discoverable. You can now change heading levels (H1/H2/H3) on existing blocks easily.

  • Content management “Attach to Order” button got more visual weight in the text editor, plus a toast confirms once the text lands in an order.

  • Order Added Next/Prev buttons to scroll horizontally through attachable texts in an order—no trackpad needed.

  • Orders Chat in "To Publish" orders no longer silently drops messages, and publishers and clients can now communicate with each other before the order review process is started. In this case, an order can’t be processed by a publisher and marked as “Draft” on their side.

  • Campaign Activity feed entries for text events now include a clickable Campaign > Text link.

  • Publisher dashboard The country list in the KYB verification form now shows only countries supported by Stripe Connect.

  • Marketplace When SEO metrics aren't yet synced for a new media, we now show "—" instead of a misleading zeroes.

Fixes

  • Marketplace Sorting by price or metrics no longer breaks as you scroll through paginated results.

  • Cart Extras are not smashed in the cart now under offers and shown the summary section properly too.

  • Orders No more phantom "Accept Changes" block when a numeric condition is edited and reverted to its original value.

  • Orders Prepaid orders with extra now appear in the client dashboard immediately after booking. Before, there was a few minutes lag.

  • Campaign The symbol/word/link counter now sits at the bottom of the editor instead of floating mid-screen.

  • Campaign Text activity entries without a title now read just as "Tim updated text" without empty quotes.

  • Design fix Transaction table header no longer stays stuck at the top when switching between client and publisher billing pages.

Our MCP server just got a major upgrade. You can now manage the entire order lifecycle directly from your AI assistant—check order details, read activity logs, browse chat messages, and take action by sending orders for review or approving placements. On the content side, full text management landed too: create, read, update, and delete campaign texts without touching the web UI. And for those managing multiple projects, you can now read project activities and manage organizations, projects, and campaigns via MCP as well.

This is a big step toward making Medialister fully operable through AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Thanks to Pavel, Yevheniia, and Anastasiia for building and testing this entire batch.

For more infor on the Medialister MCP server, check the help article.

Improvements

  • Campaign Content limits are now validated before submission—the system checks character counts, link counts, and image counts against each publisher's requirements, preventing rejected orders.

  • Campaign Text revisions now track editor changes properly. When a different team member edits a text, a new revision is created automatically, so you always know who changed what. Thanks to Sergey.

  • Campaign Changing text statuses (In Progress → Ready, etc.) is now more intuitive with the drag-and-drop system.

  • Orders The activity text for system-approved orders now reads "auto-approved by the system" for better clarity.

  • Orders When a publisher reverts a price change back to the original, conditions no longer incorrectly show as pending acceptance if previous changes weren’t accepted yet.

  • Orders The deadline timer now pauses correctly while an order is waiting for client revisions, and admins can move stuck orders back to On Review.

  • Orders The order and chat drawer got a few visual refresh—cleaner layout for extras, and new status icons. Artur shipped this one.

  • Publisher dashboard Filters on the publisher dashboard now display numeric counts, making it easier to see how many items match each option. Yerkebulan implemented this.

  • Emails Publisher email notification links now redirect straight to the correct media board instead of the last viewed one.

Fixes

  • Orders Fixed a critical bug where the "Approve" button threw an error instead of processing the approval.

  • Orders Fixed wrong media name appearing in publisher chat when switching between media projects.

  • Marketplace The "Editor's Choice" badge filter now correctly uses OR logic with other badges, matching the expected behavior.

  • Offers management Options to set a specific category for a placement and accepted topics now save correctly.

  • Offers management Offer price changes now reflect in real time without requiring a page refresh.

  • Offers management Fixed offer settings (pictures allowed, category) not saving across browsers.

  • Publisher dashboard Switching between media no longer results in a 404 page.

  • Projects Newly created projects now appear immediately in the navigation menu.

  • Members The project members list now correctly shows only members with access to that project, not the entire organization.

  • Authentication Users who sign up as publishers and switch to the client dashboard before adding media are no longer stuck on a broken page.

  • Design fix Fixed inconsistent paddings on prompt components across the product.

We've added two big trust and discovery features to the marketplace this cycle. First, you'll now see Bestseller offers pinned at the top of the marketplace table when browsing without filters or sorting. These are hand-picked placements our team highlights—strategic partners, high-performing media, and time-sensitive promotions—so you can discover quality offers right away. As soon as you apply any filter or search, the marketplace works as usual.

Second, verified publishers now display a badge next to their site name across the marketplace. If a publisher is verified by our team, you'll see the mark—a quick visual signal that the media is managed by a trusted source.

Kudos to Sergey and Yerkebulan for building the bestseller system end to end, and to Sergey again for shipping the verified media mark.

Improvements

  • Authorization When opening a client dashboard for the first time after registering as a publisher, the system now asks you to provide information to learn more about you as a client, without an option to choose the publisher side again.

  • Marketplace Goal-based prompts now appear as you scroll through the marketplace table, nudging you to set campaign goals like SEO backlinks, AI visibility, or PR coverage. They disappear once a goal is already set for the campaign. Shipped Rodion.

  • Texts Content editor width is now restricted on wide screens for a more comfortable reading experience.

  • Cart The campaign selector in the cart now groups campaigns by project, making it much easier to pick the right one.

  • Cart Extras now show a proper empty state instead of a blank area when none are available.

  • Offers management The contributor post format is now hidden when adding or editing an offer, so you only see what's actually available. Previously created contributor posts are migrated to the article format type.

  • Orders When an order is sent back to the client for revision, the deadline now pauses correctly instead of continuing to tick and showing as overdue.

Fixes

  • Marketplace Fixed empty tooltips appearing when no description is provided for an extra.

  • Marketplace Aligned the number of extras displayed on the offer page.

  • Marketplace Long media titles in the marketplace table are now properly truncated.

  • Marketplace Applied location filters are now visible in the filters section.

  • Publisher dashboard Search now works correctly even if you accidentally leave a trailing space.

  • Publisher dashboard Location sorting now follows a logical order instead of appearing randomly.

  • Order Fixed notifications appearing for orders that haven't been sent for review yet.

  • Dashboards Fixed an issue where two orders could appear open simultaneously.

  • Dashboards Opening the site from a saved link no longer shows an empty phantom order.

  • Orders Extras added by the publisher in the order chat now save correctly without needing a page refresh.

  • Texts Fixed the order count displayed on texts—it now reflects the actual number of linked orders.

  • Texts Text revision activities are no longer saved multiple times per minute generating dozens of activity logs in projects; they now track properly per revision.

  • Checkout Cashback transactions are now labeled correctly instead of showing as "Top Up."
