"The price is right"
4/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

We're a small startup, so the price of a PRUnderground press release is right. It gives us an official release to link to and has a small boost in traffic for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

We haven't seen much interaction on social media, comments, etc. in response. But that's not necessarily PR underground's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Happy with PRUnderground"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

Beyond their fantastic customer service the job they did on the actual release was very nice. We were pleasantly surprised to see how nice the release they posted to their site was. Also, we happened to notice that they did well in supplying us with backlinks as well. Again (and above all) their customer service was excellent! Price was reasonable as well.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

Really not much to say in this regards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Results!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

It's very easy to post a new press release. There are a few guided steps, and then BAM, it's published. Okay, maybe not instantly, but I see it posted online typically within hours. I also like how it's not only posted and can be found under News in a Google search of my company name, but also gets posted on twitter, which I can then retweet/favorite. Oh, and the price is fantastic! I have worked with other press release wires that charge triple (or more) for the same level of service and reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

No complaints, and I have been using PR Underground for over 2 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great PR Promotion Tool For Indie Writers"
5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

PR Underground is easy to use and prepare. Press Releases are priced right for Indie Writers who want to promote ebooks quickly and economically to reach mass distribution websites like Google News, other News Websites and Social Media. Press Releases appear on Google search sites almost immediately. PR Underground Press Release is one of the most economical promotion tools I have used so far to promote my science fiction ebooks on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online stores. Sales increased as soon as the PR was released to the media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

I am not a fan of subscriber based PR releases since I usually don't release PR's every month. I closed my subscriber account within one month and found it hard to set up a new account for a monthly PR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great price, great customer service, good results"
5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

Brian Scully, the CEO of PR Underground, actually took the time to personally assist us.

He explained the nuances of PR Underground's services and how they compare to some of the other more expensive press release distributors. We needed to make sure our press release would go out at a specific time, and Brian personally made sure that happened -and also explained things like why they don't accept hi-res images, how formatting would appear on various platforms, etc.

I also like that PR Underground tells you upfront that in some cases they may not be the best choice - of example if you have big, national news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

A lot of us in the PR world are working under tight deadlines and may not read the fine print or FAQ's, so it would be great if PR Uunderground had some warnings as you go through the UI for submitting your release. For example -

we did not realize that there can be up to a 24-hour wait time before the release goes out. We only learned that after we hid the submit button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PRUnderground effective at boosting search hits"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

The submission console is uncluttered and easy to use. They offer a no-hassle cancellation. They're very responsive if there's an issue with your press release. As they claim, publication of a press release did result in a top Google News rank for us--several times. A good release will drive traffic to your site. But don't expect miracles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

Some of the link fields in setup don't work well. For example, they need to update their YouTube entry fields. I found that it was hard to get the link I pasted into the YouTube field to result in a valid link on the Newsroom or press release pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super effective service"
5/5
What do you like best about PR Underground?

What I like best - hands down- is the pricing. While other newswires are charging several hundreds of dollars per press release, PR Underground does an excellent job at distributing releases at a fraction of the cost.

It is amazing that within moments of uploading files, your release is distributed to google and a host of other outlets within minutes- it is truly amazing to be able to get such great / effective service at such an unbeatable price! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PR Underground?

There really isn't anything that I dislike. The one thing that I am no certain about is how keywords are being used or if they are effective; but I think it boils down to a matter of me doing research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There we some basic UI issues in the form. While they helped us over come those, it would be nice if they just fixed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
