Overall Satisfaction with Newswire
I recommend it to clients for major news releases. It's a known name in the industry. In the last one or two years, I've recommended it several times for announcements including clients and partnerships with the City of Seattle, including others. We use Newswire mainly for awareness amplification and an SEO lift for smaller companies.
- Distribution
- Release management
- SEO bolstering
- Getting placement with actual journalists.
- Giving users more control over targeting.
- Providing industry specific channels and more nuanced recommendations.
- Brand awareness
- SERPs
- SEO improvements
I believe they're owned by the same company. Cision offers more robust release products, but they were too much bang for what we needed. We just needed to get the word out and get inbound links and populated some SERPs. For that Newswire was plenty good, would use it again.
