PRWeb Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think that PRWeb is so easy to use and that it pinpoints and influences our target audiences to digest my clients’ news releases. PRWeb allows clients’ news to be delivered to thousands of websites and relevant reporters and journalists, as well as a variety of social media networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that sometimes I don’t believe my clients receive adequate coverage across their desired news outlets. I believe PRWeb allows their news to be syndicated but I am not always sure it’s reaching the specified outlets that they’d like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a convenient system that offers just enough complexity with things like Search engine Optimization, and targets high-level and important media outlets like ABC, Fox, etc. It is MUCH better and more reliable than the other press-release distribution sites out there. Also great customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a bit steep for smaller companies, but still gets the job done so well that it becomes worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fairly simple to get our press releases uploaded and distributed. There are many option for us when it comes to targeting news outlets. I like that we can send our releases to traditional corporate media and also blogs and other new media outlets. We can also get our news in front of social media outlets, which gives it a chance at being picked up throughout popular platforms like Twitter. Even though the amount of outlets that pick up our news is always uncertain, it's great to know that our news will be published and accessible on the PRWeb website.

The high prices are definitely not something I like. Though it can be valuable for us to distribute our news this way, the return on investment isn't always there since our news often does not significantly get picked. I feel that though PRWeb does have a good reach and can be a dependable way to at least make your news available for those that are searching for it, I don't PRWeb really does much except blast our news out in an automated way without really pushing it meaningfully.

Sometimes too many options is an issue, but PR Newswire does it right. They have just enough distribution options, and just enough variations of those options to find the right fit for clients and the type of announcement.

More specifically, the PR Web web-only distribution option is an excellent way to get an announcement out and leave a digital bread crumb for clients without breaking the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many of PR Newswire’s options can get expensive quickly, which might be fine for larger clients, but not ideal if you’re working with start-ups. It’s important to be aware of this and ensure you’re in-tune to the client’s needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR Web releases are a quick affordable way to get press out to a wide selection of media websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a bit clunky. The categories for press distribution are limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so easy to access people's contact information. There are also so many different things, such as location, name, genre, etc, you can search using.to make it more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to click the back button all the time if you want to go back to what you were looking at previously. I wish it would show where you click in different windows, all visible at the same time. There are so many things you have to click to get a person's information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PRWeb has a wide reach that greatly broadens our potential viewership. We are assured that our news will at least be available for viewing by many media outlets that matter to us. The process of uploading, distributing and tracking results is relatively quick and streamlined within the PRWeb system. We can receive data on where our news release is being published and get a solid figure on clicks and views. PRWeb also covers bloggers, social media and other newer media outlets.

The price for one release is rather high compared to putting out social media posts or sending out emails. Though PRWeb has evolved to a degree to account for the media in the modern internet age, the overall system still seems somewhat lacking in terms of distribution reach and detailed analytics.

This was a robust tool that allowed me to view the media mention and understand some data about how and where it was viewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the time (2009-10), the reports were limited. I would like to assume that the reporting features have improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
