JH James H. Marketing Content Writer and Program Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/1/2023 "Good, affordable tool for distributing press releases" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? I used PRWeb at a previous position as a way to distribute press releases. Loading text into their platform was fairly simple, and it didn't take any special training or onboarding. The platform also did exactly what it promised: It helped our release appear on hundreds of sites. When we \*did\* need assistance, customer support was speedy and helpful. Best of all, it could be an extremely affordable option, too, making it a good choice for smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? It felt like PRWeb charged for upsells at every chance it got, even for features that seemed so basic, it felt like they should have been included as a matter of course. But that was a very minor complaint, all things considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? My previous employer operated in a fairly small niche, and our headquarters was located in a smaller city outside typical tech circles. Thus, it was harder for us to attract attention for our news. PRWeb was a great (and affordable) way for us to use a larger megaphone and attract more attention for our product and its website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Motivational Keynote Speaker & Virtual Speaker for Conferences and Businesses Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/27/2021 "Good Tool If You Are New to PR" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? PR Web provides you the ability to send out press releases, even if you don't have a PR department or position in your organization. You can use their templates to write your releases. If you choose, you can target your pitches to specific news outlets and influencers. And your releases can go on the web, helping your organization in search engine results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? There are different service packages, and you will pay more for a wider release. Make sure you understand what you're paying for and how big a potential audience you need to target. Keep in mind that news outlets receive countless press releases every day, and yours may not read for more than a few seconds, if at all. Maybe test out your release on friends to see if they agree that it's newsworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: Consider the service but review all options in the marketplace. Hiring a freelancer, who may have an account with a press release service, might be a better option. If you're not confident in your writing, consider hiring someone to help you do it or use PR Web for that task. Make sure your contact information is correct, as journalists may contact you and need a speedy response. They likely will give you one chance to connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? It's great to send a press release to a specific producer or reporter at a targeted organization. Often that contact information is really tough to discover. I've had responses from reporters, producers, and social media influencers, whom I would never have reached otherwise.

PRWeb provides a platform to distribute press releases to a broad audience and media outlets. So definitely like it for its wide reach. It is also easy to use and intuitive about next steps. Quality customer support is crucial, PRWeb provides responsive and helpful customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb?

I like that you can select which regions or verticals that you'd like to publish your press releases to - and that you can schedule releases in advance. Makes it very easy to manage multiple releases at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? It would be nice if the image upload allowed for more than one photo. We found a workaround to create collages and give the appearance of multiple photos but not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: If you're considering other PR distribution platforms, check out PRWeb first! You won’t be sorry! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? We were able to much more quickly generate and distribute our press releases. As a small team, this efficiency was invaluable. Pricing is also extremely affordable which saved us lots of resources we could use elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PRWeb? system processes slow down the distribution of material. There are also additional fees for same day release. the service’s requirement to have authorization from companies mentioned in the news release can slow down the distribution time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: When choosing a press release service, it’s important that the system integrates with other applications your business is currently using. PRWeb does this well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? The website makes uploading press releases quick and easy.

Marketing Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/15/2019 "PRWeb has been a good value and has led to many news placements" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? Signing up and getting started with PRWeb is a generally easy process. I like that we can target our audience to help get our news in front of people that may actually be interested in publishing it. I think that the pricing isn't bad since it would cost us much more to distribute our news through more manual methods. We would have to take a long time compiling relevant contact information and using a platform that can move emails and host press releases without threat of SPAM violations. PRWeb gives us a way to bypass all of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? Some of our press release distributions can definitely result in mostly duds. This sweeping approach to news releases can be somewhat cold and less engaging to media personnel. We have to compete with lots of news that gets run through PRWeb on a regular basis. Making our news stand out can be tough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: I believe that PRWeb can be good method for news distribution, but you should pay extra attention to configuring your news blast to reach the proper types of media and audiences. You should research as much as possible so you can make the most of your blasts without having to depend on costly trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? PRWeb has provided us with an outlet to send out our company news without having to do much research on the latest media members' contact information. In many cases, we aren't even sure who the correct contacts are at any given media outlet. PRWeb has done a great job of at least making our news accessible for those that may be interested in viewing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Public Relations Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/2/2019 "A fast way to get our news out into the stratosphere of media outlets" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? PRWeb has an established network of media outlets for us to distribute to. We don't have to rely on our own distribution through email and traditional mail services. We can actually get a feeler for the amount of interest in our news and then follow up with calls or emails based on the results of the hits we get through PR. PRWeb also has excellent tracking tools to let us get an idea of how our news has been received. The metrics are actually quite detailed for the amount of money that we pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? PRWeb can often times be a hit-or-miss type of news release distribution service. For certain types of news, PRWeb may not be the most efficient service, especially if it's for a very niche type of audience with few media outlets that cover related topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: If you're starting out without many news contacts, PRWeb might be an excellent way for you to get your news out in the world and enhance the accessible to it by search engines like Google and Yahoo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? Instead of just blasting out our news to random media outlets and people, we have used PRWeb's targeting capabilities to narrow down our demographics. This audience filter allow us to be able to focus more on people that may be more interested in receiving and covering our news. Having this information can also help us to craft our future releases. Compared to not using PRWeb, we have gotten way more hits and leads from our distributions through PRWeb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communications Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/20/2019 "A news distribution outlet that is a good value for most of our releases" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? Using PRWeb is rather easy and we can get in touch with a sales or support person without much difficulty. I've used PRWeb for some time now and like how they continue to expand the types of media outlets that they reach. The world of news distribution and content publishing is always changing and growing, so it's nice to be able to look to a service like PRWeb to get our important company news out to the media and other sources that can display our news for the most interested and relevant parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? With all of the do-it-yourself news distribution methods today like publishing on Twitter, blogs and through mass emails, it can be rough to shell out the money needed to get some of the releases out through PRWeb. I would say that it can certainly be a good value, especially when there is important news that needs to go out, but the cost is also more on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: For companies that have a decent corporate communications budget to draw from, I think it's a no-brainer to at least consider PRWeb as a news distribution medium. Much of the mainstream media seems to be connected in some way to PRWeb, so you'll be able to hit many outlets without having to spend much time setting things up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? My company has been able to get news out quickly and to relevant sources for efficiently with PRWeb. We have benefited from PRWeb's custom targeting tools that allows us to reach people that we actually want to reach rather than just dumping our news out there. At the same time, there are times when we like to get certain news out to a more general audience, so PRWeb's large reach allows us to do that, which can sometimes gives us attention from media corners we didn't consider would have interest.

Public Relations Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/18/2019 "PRWeb can get our news out to the right people in little time" 4/5 What do you like best about PRWeb? Getting started with PRWeb doesn't require us to go through many steps, like having to do a consultation, then talk with some representative over the phone for a while. I've had to do that with some other companies and not having to jump through hoops is one of the reasons I started using PRWeb. I also like that PRWeb has been a big name in the public relations news distribution world for as long as I can remember. They have many contacts in both the old and new media. I like being able to specify certain audiences and have our distributions be more targeted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PRWeb? Though I don't think the prices are that bad for the service and distribution reach that we get, it certainly isn't the cheapest distribution method. It also lacks a personal touch that we can get with more hands-on distribution methods. This wide net approach isn't really something we can always depends upon for actual news hits. It's mostly a complementary approach that will sometimes net little to no quality results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PRWeb: I think PRWeb can work sometimes, but it can also not net much at other times. I think it's worth the risk to try out when there have been little to no media outreach efforts for certain companies, products, services, promotions or events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? We have gotten a decent amount of quality news hits from PRWeb. We probably could not have made those connections without PRWeb. Though the pricing can seem excessive at times, we are able to utilize many PRWeb services without hurting our budget significantly. PRWeb also provides us with helpful account features to give us a better idea of how our campaigns and releases and being received by news outlets and social media.
