Frequently asked questions
What is press release distribution?
Press release distribution means getting your announcement published in places where journalists, customers and search engines will find it: press release websites, news feeds, partner news sites and journalists’ inboxes.
Is free press release distribution worth it?
Yes, for most small businesses, startups and nonprofits. A free press release on SubmitPR gets a permanent, indexable page, an IndexNow ping to Bing and Yandex and inclusion in our news feed and sitemaps — the core benefits of online distribution, at no cost.
How much does press release distribution cost?
Large wire services typically charge hundreds of dollars per release, with extra fees for longer releases and wider reach. On SubmitPR, publishing is free; optional upgrades start at $19.95 (featured listing and active links) up to $399.98 (syndication plus dofollow links from partner sites).
How fast is my press release distributed?
Instantly. Press releases on SubmitPR go live as soon as you submit, and search engines are notified via IndexNow straight away. Indexing usually follows within hours to a few days.
Do I need an account to distribute a press release?
No. You can submit a press release without registering. A free account is optional and lets you manage all your releases in one place.
How do I pay for a distribution upgrade?
Upgrades are paid in KIN on the Solana blockchain and confirmed automatically — your upgrade activates within seconds of payment. See how to get KIN with Phantom.
