The deliverable

Sample coverage report

This is the report we send you a link to after distribution — every placement the network reports, the live URL and the date we confirmed each page we opened, and the outlet's domain rating where we can attribute the figure to a source. Read it before you buy anything from us.

What “domain rating” means
Domain rating (DR) is a 0–100 score for how established a website is, based on how many sites link to it. Major news sites score in the 90s. It rates the publication, not your link, and promises no ranking. An outlet reads “Not rated” until we can point at the source of its score.

Sample report — illustrative

It shows Proofwire's own launch release laid out as a report. That release has not been distributed yet, so the placements, dates and URLs below are examples, not results, and the URLs do not resolve. The outlet names are real, and the sections, columns and labels are the ones your report uses.

Sample report — illustrative. The placements, dates and URLs above are examples, not results, and the URLs do not resolve. In a real report every live URL is a working link, each section lists all of its rows rather than only the named outlets, and the report is a private web page — we email you the link — that you can print or save as a PDF. Report generated 27 August 2026.

How we verify

The number that matters is not how many outlets a release was sent to. It is how many pages a reader can actually open. Those are different numbers, and most reports quote the first one.

  • Reported URLs are opened, not assumed

    We request each page ourselves and confirm your release is on it. A distributor’s receipt saying a release was “sent to 500 outlets” is not evidence that anything published.

  • Only what is actually online is counted

    Republished pages we cannot open ourselves are excluded from the total. That makes our numbers smaller than the ones you will see quoted elsewhere, and true.

  • Verified on the day it is delivered

    This is a snapshot, and it says so. Publishers prune press-release archives without notice, so a link that resolves today can be gone next quarter — we report what was true when we checked rather than implying it is true forever.
