GETTING STARTED

  • What is a newswire?

    A newswire sends your press release to news websites, journalists and search engines in one go. Instead of emailing hundreds of editors yourself, you submit once and we handle distribution, publishing and reporting.

  • You can start for nothing. Our Free plan publishes one release a month on five partner news sites. Paid plans start at £19 per release, and UK Premium, which adds AP News and USA Today, is £129.

  • Most releases go live the same day. Distribution is completed within 24 hours of approval, and you receive a report with live links once it is published.

  • That depends on your plan. Paid plans reach 300 to 500+ news and business sites. UK Premium adds AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider. You can add Yahoo Finance, Business Insider and MarketWatch, and UK titles such as The AI Journal are available on request.

  • Yes. Free Newswire publishes one release a month on five partner news sites at no cost. It is a plan, not a trial, so it does not turn into a bill.

DISTRIBUTION AND OUTLETS

  • How long does distribution take?

    Most releases go live the same day, and distribution is completed within 24 hours of approval. Premium outlets such as AP News and USA Today run their own checks, so their pages can appear a little later.

  • Many of the sites in our network are indexed by Google News, so your release can appear there. Google decides what it shows, so no one can guarantee a Google News listing.

  • We check that it reads as news, that claims are supported, and that links, names and contact details work. Releases that break the law or an outlet’s rules are sent back with notes.

  • A list of every site that published your release, with live links, so you can see exactly where it appeared and share the results.

  • Yes. For UK regional, trade and national titles we quote per placement, or our outreach team can pitch the editors directly.

  • We guarantee publication on the sites in your paid plan, or your money back. What nobody can honestly promise is that a journalist will write an original story about you. That depends on your news.

  • Yes. Writing starts at £49. You send a short brief, a UK writer drafts the release and you get a round of edits before anything goes out.

  • Yes. Paid releases can carry up to five links and three images. Free releases carry one link and up to three images.

PRICING AND PAYMENT

  • Are your prices in pounds?

    Yes. Every price on this site is in pounds sterling. Any VAT due is shown at checkout before you pay.

  • No. You pay for the releases and services you use. There is no joining fee and no annual membership.

  • One press release, distributed once to every site in your plan, with its own placement report.

  • If a paid release is not published on the sites in your plan, you get your money back.

  • UK Business reaches 500+ news, business, TV and radio network sites. UK Premium includes all of that and adds four premium outlets: AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider.

  • Yes. Agencies and anyone sending ten or more releases can use our white label rates, which start at £9 per release.

  • Titles such as The AI Journal, London Loves Business and IBTimes UK set their own rules and prices, so we quote for each placement. Tell us about your news and we will come back with options.

  • Yes. Every payment comes with an invoice you can download for your records.

  • All major debit and credit cards. Other payment options are shown at checkout.

  • Distribution is paid per release. Done-for-you PR and brand monitoring are monthly services.

FREE NEWSWIRE

  • What do I get on the free plan?

    One release a month, published on five partner news sites, with one link, up to three images and a report sent by email.

  • Between 250 and 950 words. That is plenty for a clear announcement, and editors prefer short releases anyway.

  • The free plan covers one release a month. Once you have bought any paid release, the monthly limit on free releases no longer applies.

  • No. Free releases cannot be changed once they are live, so check names, figures and links before you submit.

  • Choose any paid plan when you submit your next release. UK Starter costs £19 and reaches 300+ news and business sites.

ACCOUNT AND SUPPORT

  • How do I create an account?

    Use the sign-up form. It takes a minute, and you can send your first release on the free plan straight away.

  • Use the password reset form and follow the link to set a new one.

  • Yes. Our white label newswire lets agencies sell distribution under their own brand, with white-label reports and trade rates from £9 per release.

  • We collect only what we need to run your account and send your releases. Our privacy and cookies policy explains how data is handled under UK GDPR.

  • Yes. Our support team is made up of real people and is on hand 24/7. Send us a message whenever you need help and a member of the team will pick it up.

  • No. Distribution is paid per release, with no membership fee. Monthly services such as done-for-you PR and brand monitoring run month to month.
