The questions worth asking before the card comes out. We would rather answer them here than explain ourselves later.
Every package on this page carries on the wire within 48 hours. The clock starts when your copy reaches us, not when you pay, and it pauses whenever we are waiting on you — so buying today and writing next week costs you nothing and puts nothing behind schedule.
Inside that window your release is reviewed, then submitted to the distribution network. When each outlet publishes is up to that outlet. We sweep the live web for your URLs about a week after distribution — long enough for slow syndication to land — and your report is what that sweep found.
That sweep is not all machine work. Where an outlet blocks automated checks — AP News and MarketWatch both do, in their robots files — a person opens the page instead, which is a little over half of the placements bought by name. It is slower than pretending a crawler can read everything, and it is why a blocked check is never reported to you as a missing placement.
Submission is guaranteed; publication is the outlet’s decision. Anyone promising guaranteed permanent placement on a named masthead is overselling: outlets remove republished releases routinely.
What we commit to is the half we control: your release is reviewed against the network’s editorial rules, submitted, and then every outcome is written down by name — live, still pending, or declined. You get that list either way, because a report that only shows the wins is not a report.
Not on this page. Payment comes first, and Stripe returns you straight to the brief form for this order: headline, the release itself, company, media contact, and who authorised it. About ten minutes if the news is already decided.
Nothing is submitted anywhere until that form arrives. If the copy is not written yet the order simply waits — it does not expire, the on the wire within 48 hours clock has not started, and you can pick it up later from My Orders.
It has to be news. Something happened or is about to: a launch, a raise, a partnership, a product, a result, a senior hire. A page of adjectives about how good the company is comes back from wire editors, and no amount of distribution fixes it.
250 to 1,200 words, plus one image. Those are the distribution network’s own bounds, not a house style — a release under 250 words is refused at intake, and one over 1,200 will not be accepted at all. We check before anything is sent.
Checked against the distribution network’s editorial guidelines before anything is submitted, and revised at no charge if it comes back with feedback.
Treat the answer as no, and be pleasantly surprised. Major publishers mark press releases so the links pass no search credit — that is standard policy, applied to everyone, and not a defect in your announcement.
Which links pass credit is decided by the distribution network rather than the outlet, and publishers change it without announcing anything, so it is not something we will promise you per outlet before you buy. Anyone who does is reading a rate card.
The durable value is a credible, citable page carrying your announcement — one people and AI assistants can quote. If a ranking lift is the entire reason you are buying, this is the wrong product and we would rather say so now.
Paid syndication. You are buying distribution, not a journalist’s interest, and you should hear that from us rather than work it out afterwards.
Your release goes out over a distribution network we buy from, and the outlets that run it publish through their press-release channel — a section kept apart from the newsroom. The national names fence it off deliberately: AP News blocks its press-release path from crawlers, and USA Today keeps its sponsor-story path out of Google News. Most of these pages carry a line saying the content was paid for and the news staff was not involved. A few outlets carry no such label at all, which is their editorial choice, not a mark of better coverage.
That is the same product every distributor in this category sells. What differs here is what you get back: a report that separates the pages we opened ourselves from the ones the network only told us about, and counts only the first kind.
Where the receipt, the other release proofs and the verification report go. No card details on this page — payment happens on Stripe’s own secure page.
