It is not uncommon for your press release to eventually be picked up by thousands of sites. It does take time however. Once a press release goes live on the major media sites, it is very common for other sites to then also publish your press release. The best way to determine how many sites have indexed your press release is to search for the title of the PR in quotes. IE, "this is the title of my press release" But give it a couple months. The volume of sites publishing your press release will increase greatly over time, well beyond those listed in the original report.
Our writers will use your website as their authority site from which to build your press release unless you supply other urls for them to garner their research. They will often create quotes from you, the contact person, using information from your website. If you would like specific information included or an emphasis on something in particular, please include this with your directions.
Yes.
Yes! Your release must include a headline depicting a newsworthy event (85 characters (including spaces) )and a sub-headline (200 spaces). The press release may not use the words "you" or "your" unless it's in a quote.
Yes. All you need to do is provide us with the URL's and anchor texts you wish to use. We will place the links in the proper format for you.
We make no guarantees that your press release will be accepted and used by any group or organization, as that is something that is beyond our control, However our acceptance rate for Google News is about 98%. The 2% that fail almost always fail because the press release has been submitted elsewhere first. Google likes to be the first one to get a press release, so please make sure that you have not submitted your PR elsewhere if you want it to appear in Google news. The rest of our inventory has a success rate greater than 98%.
Yes, but only under certain conditions. Please review your completed PR carefully for completeness and correctness. We will not provide rewrites unless there are blatant mistakes/errors or original customer instructions were not followed.
No. PRPerfect.com CANNOT be listed as a company or media contact on any press release, or in any other way. You/your organization must be listed as the contact.
The time varies, depending on workload. Under normal workloads the average turn around time should fall in the 2-5 day range. But be aware that this is an average. The actual time could be less or greater. it then takes approximately 7-10 days for the full distribution of the press release to be completed. we do it slowly to make sure you get into Google news.
Our press releases will average around 500 words.
We use several different distribution outlets. It is possible you may receive one to maybe three confirmation emails from these distribution outlets confirming that your press release has been accepted. These are not reports. You will NOT receive emails from every site that publishes your press release. But you will receive a full report once the distribution has been 100% completed detailing every site that has published your press release. Any emails you receive from the distribution outlets will only be for the purpose of providing you the link where your press release has been placed. You will not be placed on any mailing lists.
The cost is $69 for having just a press release written and not distributed. $119 for having your press release written and distributed to our high authority list of media sites. You will need to make sure your account is funded with sufficient credits to order a press release.
