FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our press release distribution services and how we can help you enhance your communications strategy.

  • What is the PressRelease.com platform?

    The PressRelease.com platform is a modern shopping experience for visibility for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), startups, and growing brands. Unlike traditional public relations (PR) or press release publishing, you pick where your news appears. Bundle top-tier outlets for broad visibility or target the one that matters most to you.

  • Can I just choose one media outlet?

    Yes. You can choose one, two, or build a bundle. It’s your message. Your strategy. Your way. PressRelease.com offers maximum visibility, unmatched flexibility, and full control over your news.

  • How much does it cost?

    You can publish a single release or build a custom bundle based on your budget and goals. Visit our Pricing page for the most up-to-date information.

  • Do I need a subscription, or can I pay per release?

    No subscription required. PressRelease.com is designed as a flexible, pay-as-you-go platform. Use it once, or come back anytime to publish again. No contracts and no commitments.

  • How fast will my press release go live?

    Most releases go live within a couple of hours after they are submitted and approved. You’ll get a confirmation once it’s published.

  • Do you guarantee media coverage?

    We guarantee publication on the outlets you choose. However, earned media, like journalists writing stories about your release, depend on the news value and relevance of your release. We help maximize visibility, but coverage decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the media.

  • How do reports and analytics work?

    After your press release is published, you’ll receive a detailed report with live links to each outlet in your bundle. Reports include publication confirmation, visibility metrics, and SEO benefits, allowing you to easily demonstrate results to stakeholders, clients, or investors.

  • Do you offer writing help?

    We do! You can add a writing service at checkout or start with a template and get support from our editorial or customer experience teams.

  • What happens after I submit my press release?

    Your press release is reviewed by our editorial team, then syndicated to the media outlets in your bundle, or if you prefer, to just one or two of them. You’ll receive a full report with live links once it’s published.

  • Can I just choose one, two, or more media outlets?

    Yes. You can send to just one media outlet, two or three media outlets, or you can build a custom or pre-made bundle. It’s totally up to you. Be seen the way you want to be seen.

  • What kinds of companies and organizations use PressRelease.com?

    Small businesses, fast-growing startups, creators, entrepreneurs, resellers, agencies, and enterprise PR teams that are looking for flexible, affordable PR with control over targeted press release distribution.


  • Do you have some suggested bundles?

    Yes. We offer a range of bundles tailored to meet your specific goals and budget. Each bundle is tailored to meet specific business goals, media habits, and the credibility of various media outlets. They are designed to feel intentional for your business, not a random, hastily assembled bundle.


  • Why should I use a bundle?

    Bundles have been created to help guide you on which media outlets you want to appear in based on your business goals and what you are announcing.

  • Will I get search engine optimization (SEO) value from my press release?

    Yes. Your press release includes links back to your site, keyword optimization, and publication on authoritative domains.

  • Can I preview my press release before it’s distributed?

    Yes. You’ll have a chance to review and approve everything before it’s sent to your selected media outlets.

  • Can I edit or update a press release after it has been submitted?

    Yes, before approval. You’ll be able to review and make edits prior to final distribution. Once a release is published, it cannot be changed, but you can submit a corrected or updated release as a new submission.

  • What if my press release gets rejected?

    Our editorial team thoroughly reviews each release for quality and compliance with the guidelines of the relevant media outlets. If adjustments are needed, we’ll notify you with clear feedback so you can revise and resubmit.

  • Is this just for news? Or can I promote content, events, books, and more?

    PressRelease.com is used to share everything from company updates and funding rounds to product launches, events, webinars, whitepapers, and awards.

  • Can I resell?

    Yes, many agencies and resellers use our platform. Contact us to learn about bulk pricing or white-label options.

  • Can international companies use PressRelease.com?

    Absolutely. Our press release distribution marketplace is open to businesses worldwide. Many global companies use PressRelease.com to reach U.S. and international media outlets.



  • Can I target local media or specific industries?

    While the marketplace focuses on high-visibility media outlets, you can customize your bundle to prioritize relevance to your niche or region.

  • How long will my press release stay online?

    Most outlets keep releases live indefinitely, while others may archive content after a specified period. Your report will always include active links at the time of publication.

  • Do you offer AI tools or templates to assist me with writing?

    Yes. You can start with our free press release templates, add professional writing help, or lean on our editorial or customer support team for guidance.

  • Is my data and payment information secure?

    Yes. PressRelease.com uses secure, industry-standard encryption for all transactions. Your account and payment information are fully protected.

  • What if I need help?
