Our Press Release Outlet Network

Our network covers 400+ news sites in four categories: local and regional news, business and finance, industry and trade publications, and lifestyle and consumer sites. You don't pick outlets individually — each package reaches a set number of sites, and your live-link report lists every one that published.

Outlet categories in our network

Releases are matched to the sites where your news fits, which is why a restaurant opening and a software launch don't land in the same places. The four categories below make up our network of 400+ sites.

CategoryWhat it coversTypical audience
Local and regional newsCity, county and metro news sites, community portals and regional business journalsResidents and local customers searching your company name or your town
Business and finance newsBusiness news desks, market and finance feeds, small-business sectionsInvestors, partners, B2B buyers and job seekers
Industry and trade publicationsSector-specific sites for health, technology, home services, retail, food, energy and morePeople who work in your industry and search by topic
Lifestyle and consumerConsumer, entertainment, food, travel, wellness and family sitesGeneral readers, gift buyers, event seekers and local audiences

Most packages mix all four categories. A large share of the network is local and regional, because that's where a small business gets the most credible pickup, and because those pages are the ones that show up when someone searches your name.

How big the network is

  • 400+ news sites in total, across the four categories above.
  • Sites are a mix of sizes: metro-area news portals, statewide feeds, niche trade publications and established consumer sites.
  • Coverage is national, weighted to local. Your release appears on sites in your region, your industry and the national feeds your tier includes.
  • Every placement is a real page with your headline, your text and your links — not a shared archive listing.

We deliberately do not publish a public list of outlet names and URLs. Rankings and availability change constantly, and a static list would be wrong within weeks. Instead, you see the outlets you actually received, by name and URL, in your live-link report after publishing.

Named placements you can add

  • Yahoo Finance placement — +$885. For funding news, earnings, executive hires and anything a finance audience cares about.
  • MSN placement — +$885. Broad consumer reach for launches, openings and lifestyle announcements.

These are the only outlets we name on this site, because they're the only ones we sell as a specific placement. Everything else in your report is determined by your category, your region and your package tier.

Getting the full list

Order any package, approve your release, and your live-link report lists each publishing site with its category, status, live URL and publish date — typically within 5 business days. That report is the outlet list for your specific release, which is far more useful than a generic page of domains.

FAQ

Can I choose the specific outlets my release goes to?

Not individually. We match each release to the sites in the network where the story fits, which is how a $195 package can reach 50 sites. If you need specific named placements, the Yahoo Finance and MSN add-ons are the ones we sell.

Why don't you publish the outlet list?

Because it wouldn't stay accurate. Sites in the network are added, retired and reorganized regularly, and pricing to a static list would be misleading. Your live-link report shows the real placements for your release, verifiable link by link.

How many outlets does the cheapest package reach?

Starter reaches 50 news sites across the same four categories, including local and regional sites in your area. See affordable press release distribution for how that compares with cheaper alternatives.

Are the links followable, and do they stay up?

Placements are permanent pages on our network of news sites and are not deleted after a campaign ends. Your report gives you the exact URLs so you can check them yourself at any time.

Which category will my release go to?

Usually all four, in different proportions, based on your announcement type and location. Tell us the industry and city when you order — or during editing, since revisions before publishing are unlimited.
