Have an announcement to make for your business? Launching a new product or service, or expanding your service areas? Then a press release is a great way to let the public and media know about the what’s going on at your company! Press releases can be published in most any print publication as well as on the Web, and are great for attracting a new business and providing a burst in website traffic!
Press releases are especially helpful with online marketing. They’re considered a part of what’s called Web 2.0 (a movement focusing on user-generated and interactive content), and because of this press releases are looked at highly by the search engines. If you’re hoping to help your website rank higher for specific keywords, a Web-based press release can be just the thing to put you on the first page, often even in the top positions!

Our press releases are optimized for high ranking in search engines, and can even include your own logos, photos and links. Need to reach a wider audience? No problem!

Note: We make every effort to service you in a timely manner. Creation of your press release is dependent upon the time frame in which we receive all necessary materials and information related to your release. Launch of distribution is dependent upon our ability to reach you regarding revisions and approval. Distribution and publishing time are immediate for Web-formatted releases. Publishing time for print publications will vary and depend on the editing staff of each publication.

A Note about Print Publications: Some print publications may choose to publish your release via their online channels (i.e. News & Observer website). This may be done in addition to print publishing or instead of, and is at the sole discretion of the publication.
Payment for press releases due upfront and must be paid before work will begin on your project.
