Press release distribution FAQ

World Wire is a press release distribution service. You choose a package, submit your announcement, our editors review it, and we distribute it across our network of news sites, TV-affiliate portals, finance platforms and industry publications. You receive a placement report with every live link.

Pick by reach. Signal is ideal for local and small-business news. Broadcast adds Google and Yahoo inclusion and is our most popular choice. Headline adds AP News and Benzinga for brands that need credibility with investors and partners. Worldwide is our maximum-reach package with Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch and international syndication. Not sure? Contact us and we will recommend one.

Every wire package includes professional writing of up to 500 words. Send us a short brief or your draft and our writers turn it into a newsworthy, correctly formatted release. Longer releases can add Extended writing at checkout.

Startups, SaaS companies, crypto and Web3 projects, e-commerce brands, authors, agencies, non-profits and local businesses — anyone with genuine news to share who wants credible coverage without paying an agency retainer.

Standard distribution happens within 24–48 hours after editorial approval. Same-day distribution is available as an add-on. Directory packages take around 14 days because each listing is submitted by hand.

Yes. Every order includes a placement report in your dashboard listing the outlets that published your release, with live URLs. White-label (unbranded) reports are available for agencies.

We guarantee distribution to every outlet in your package network once your release passes editorial review. Individual publishers retain editorial control over their own sites, which is why we show the actual placements in your report. For guaranteed feature articles on specific top-tier publications, see Guaranteed Media Placement.

Most placements remain online indefinitely, but each publisher controls its own archive and some rotate older content. Your report captures every live link at the time of distribution.

Press releases build brand mentions on trusted news domains, which help search engines and AI answer engines (like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews) understand and cite your brand. Most syndicated links are nofollow, so think of releases as credibility and discoverability, not a link-building shortcut.

Tuesday to Thursday mornings (US Eastern) tend to perform best. You can choose a preferred date when you submit, and we will schedule accordingly.

All major credit and debit cards (via Stripe, including Apple Pay and Google Pay), PayPal, and cryptocurrency including BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC (via NOWPayments or Coinbase Commerce). Payments are processed on the providers’ secure hosted pages — we never see or store your card details.

Buy 3, 6, 12 or 24 releases at a lower per-release price. Your credits are stored in your dashboard and can be used any time within 12 months.

Unused credits can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. If our editorial team declines a release that cannot be fixed, the credit is refunded. Once distribution has started, the order cannot be refunded. See our Refund Policy for full details.

Yes. Agencies get volume pricing, white-label reports and priority support. Contact us for a custom plan.

We do not distribute adult content, illegal products, hate speech, misleading health or financial claims, token price predictions, negative press about third parties, political campaigning or plagiarised content. Crypto releases are welcome when they announce genuine products, partnerships or milestones. Read our Editorial Guidelines for the full list.

Once a release is distributed it is syndicated to many independent sites, so changes cannot be guaranteed. Please review your final copy carefully. We will submit correction or removal requests to publishers on your behalf where possible.

Yes. Packages include a company logo and image, with more media on higher tiers, plus 2–3 hyperlinks depending on your package.
