Question 1

What is press release writing and distribution?

Accepted Answer

It is the process of writing an announcement in press release format and sending it out through a newswire. A newswire delivers the release to its own feeds and partner sites, which republish it. Reputation Resolutions writes the release and distributes it through a third-party newswire named in your written scope.

Question 2

Is press release writing and distribution results-based?

Accepted Answer

No. Press release writing and distribution is scoped in writing, with the deliverables and the newswire named before work starts. Only four things in our PR work are paid after a result: content removal, guaranteed featured articles (paid after publication), Wikipedia page creation (pay only if published) and Google Knowledge Panel (pay only if live). Press release removal work is paid only after a result.

Question 3

Will my press release get media coverage?

Accepted Answer

A wire sends your release to feeds and partner sites that republish it, which puts your announcement in front of readers and search engines. Where outreach is part of your scope, we also pitch relevant reporters, who decide for themselves whether to write about it.

Question 4

What is the difference between syndication and editorial coverage?

Accepted Answer

Syndication means a newswire republishes your release unchanged on partner sites. Editorial coverage means a journalist independently chooses to write about you in their own words. Syndicated copies are not editorial coverage, and our distribution reports keep the two separate.

Question 5

Can I write my own press release?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We publish a free press release template and a guide on how to write a press release, both with no email required. If you would rather have our editorial team write it, we scope that in writing.

Question 6

How long does press release distribution take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the newswire and on how quickly you approve the final draft. We confirm the schedule in your written scope before anything is sent.

Question 7

How is the cost of press release distribution set?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the newswire tier, geographic reach, and whether you need writing and outreach alongside distribution. We scope each engagement in writing based on your announcement and goals. Schedule a FREE Consultation for a specific recommendation.

Question 8

Does press release distribution help with SEO?

Accepted Answer

A release can create an indexed page that states accurate facts about your company, and we write it with clear headlines, accurate names and cited sources so it is easy for readers and search engines to understand.

Question 9

Which newswire do you use?

Accepted Answer

We distribute through a third-party newswire that is named in your written scope. The newswire is confirmed in your written scope before anything is sent.

Question 10

Will a press release show up in AI answers like ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?

Accepted Answer

A clearly written release with accurate facts and cited sources gives AI tools something accurate to read when they answer questions about your company.

Question 11

What if I tried a press release distribution service before and it did not work?

Accepted Answer

Most disappointing results share the same causes: no genuine news angle, a generic release, and a wire send treated as the finish line. We start with a free review of whether your announcement is news. If it needs a stronger angle, we say so before writing begins, and we are clear that syndication is not coverage.

Question 12

What makes a press release newsworthy?

Accepted Answer

A genuine news element: original data, a real business milestone, a surprising finding, or a development that affects a specific audience. We review every announcement against those criteria before writing begins and sharpen the angle where it helps.

Question 13

How do I remove a press release that was syndicated across many sites?

Accepted Answer

Removing a syndicated press release means treating it as many separate pages rather than one. A single wire distribution is copied within hours to downstream outlets like AP News, Yahoo Finance, and MarketWatch, and each copy is indexed independently by Google. Reputation Resolutions maps every live copy, pursues a kill or correction at the originating wire where that applies, and then addresses each republished copy on its own terms, either through direct outreach and takedown or through search de-indexing. We start with a free consultation and tell you which copies are realistically removable before you commit.

Question 14

If the wire service removes the original, why do the copies still show up?

Accepted Answer

Because there is no automatic takedown that cascades from the wire service to the sites that republished the release. When you remove or update the version a wire like PR Newswire, Business Wire, or GlobeNewswire hosts, that change reaches only their own page. Every downstream outlet stores and serves its own copy under its own editorial policy, so those pages keep ranking until each one is addressed directly. This is why removing the origin alone rarely clears a syndicated release.

Question 15

Can you kill or retract a press release on PR Newswire or Business Wire?

Accepted Answer

Wire services provide a mechanism to kill, retract, or correct the release they host, and Reputation Resolutions uses it wherever it applies. The important caveat is that it governs the wire's own hosted version, not the independent copies syndication has already created across other outlets. A kill notice at the source is the starting point of a syndicated removal, not the whole job. We handle both the source action and the downstream copies.

Question 16

Can a syndicated press release be de-indexed from Google instead of removed?

Accepted Answer

In many cases yes, and for widely syndicated or regulatory content, de-indexing is often more practical than full removal. Google's removal and outdated-content tools can clear a copy from search results once that copy has been removed or returns a 404 at its source. De-indexing does not remove a page that is still live and unchanged, so it follows source removal rather than replacing it. Reputation Resolutions combines source takedowns, de-indexing, and displacement with higher-authority content, choosing the mix that fits each copy.

Question 17

What if a press release about me cannot be fully removed?

Accepted Answer

When a specific copy cannot be taken down, the effective approach is displacement: building genuinely newsworthy, higher-authority coverage that outranks the damaging release so it falls off page one and stops appearing in AI-generated answers. We tell you up front which copies fall into removal, de-indexing, or displacement.
