PRWeb Reviews & Product Details

Expansive database of media contacts and their contact information, regularly updated information, search features which allow you to sort journalists by their target areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes information (primarily journalist publication info and contact information along with it) is not updated fast enough at the pace of how journalists jump around. Sometimes it will take months for this to be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

It is easy to navigate within the website, submit press releases, and target particular regions and topics for their news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

I can access it to find the press releases that are most relevant to my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's good for an overview of major outlets and industries, but smaller players get cut off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the price, interface and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR Web is more costly if you need to send an immediate release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and nothing much more. To tell the truth it's hard to find something good about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outdated UI/UX

Low reach and distribution

Deceptive advertising and prices - it says on the Premium package twice > Go viral. But when reaching out to customer service they say that this is not true and usually their customers don't reach virality. So why to claim it?! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The largest database of reporter contacts and most up-to-date Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selecting contacts in a search can sometimes be painstaking when manually scrolling through and selecting/de-selecting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Getting our news out is very simple through the PRWeb platform. Even though we have to pay hefty fees at times, PRWeb a great way to get our news reliably posted online and in the front of people at solid news organizations. I like not having to upload files to be hosted on our servers. The process of getting our press releases uploaded and published through PRWeb is not that difficult. They have clear information for the entire process so that things are done properly. I like that we can also target to audiences that I have some type of connection to our news.

I think that the website design of PRWeb has a somewhat older feel to it. I think the pricing is also quite high considering all of the free and lower cost distribution methods that are available today. I think that PRWeb can do a better job of penetrating social media, which is a very important news space in the modern world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
