FAQs

Is ﾂ鮓ｹﾔｭｴｴ a wire service?
No. ﾂ鮓ｹﾔｭｴｴ is an earned distribution platform that delivers publisher-ready editorial for native placement through direct newsroom relationships.

Can I guarantee ﾂ鮓ｹﾔｭｴｴ placements?
No. Earned distribution isn窶冲 guaranteed. However, a majority of the time, a ﾂ鮓ｹﾔｭｴｴ story gets picked up by 100+ publishers.

Do both provide analytics?
Yes. PR Newswire provides visibility/analytics for releases; ﾂ鮓ｹﾔｭｴｴ provides publisher-verified pickup and engagement reporting.

Do paid placements influence search results?

Directly, no. Google requires that paid/sponsored links be qualified (for example, using rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow"), and such links aren窶冲 meant to pass ranking signals. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank violates Google窶冱 spam policies and can trigger manual actions that reduce visibility. Indirectly, paid placements can create awareness that leads to earned mentions and links elsewhere, and those earned signals can help.
