24-7 Press Release vs. PR.com

It is very well suited for quick distribution to +100 sites usually. It would be good if it would also distribute more internationally and to more sites as well as this helps with spreading the news. If possible, it would be nice if they also offered same day distribution. Outside of this it does what I need it to do.

I often recommend PR.com to clients on a budget. There are some organizations, like non-profits, or very small businesses I work with who just don't have the money to spend on a pricier press release distribution service like Businesswire. For those clients, PR.com is a good alternative. You can use the free version - or elect to spend a little money to include hyperlinks, increase distribution, and so on. But there are options - and that is a good thing.

Incentivized

• Increases search engine optimization.
• Builds awareness.
• Bumps up social media engagement.

Incentivized

• Bad customer service [in my experience].
• One-sided PR.

• Distributing to even more sites
• Their higher tier packages have at over a 1 day turnaround and make it inconvenient for very fresh news

Incentivized

• Suggest offering administrators more control over when releases are distributed
• Lower premium pricing for high frequency administrators

Affordable. Easy to use. Effective.

I think PR.com offers a viable alternative to smaller businesses or nonprofit clients on a budget. When I tell some of those clients it will be hundreds - or even thousands - of dollars to distribute a press release on a service like Business Wire, I can feel them cringe. PR.com offers a free option - and also offers very low-cost options to boost the distribution, include live hyperlinks and so on - if clients do have a little $ to spend on that, they can. But they can choose. The bigger services are really cost-prohibitive for the smaller businesses.

Incentivized

• Some PRs have appeared on some first searches of Google. This is good
• Distribution can sometimes be stagnant (i.e - the same sites only) thus results don't look like they're growing.

Incentivized

• Negative impact [in my experience].
• Wasted our time.
