It is easy to use and nearly contains every possible platform where your brand can be seen after publishing the press release.

Indirectly, the published press releases helps you to build a good brand value and bring quality search traffic as well.

Being in Digital marketing industry I have used prweb as one of the strong tool to bring awareness about my clients.

Easy templates made it easy to use. You will love it if you are looking to improve brand traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PRWeb?

Reporting feature through which i can exactly review the performace.

PRWeb offers some targeting options, but they may not be as granular as other services. This could mean your release reaches irrelevant audiences, diluting its impact. But it is something which can be managed from some other alternatives like adding UTM parameters to your URL to track the numbers in analytics tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you?

As i have mentioned earlier, being associated with the startups, big brands, even with the small scale projects, when it comes to improve brand visibility, PRweb is a good alternative. PRWeb helps businesses gain public visibility by distributing press releases, potentially improving brand awareness, attracting customers, and building trust. It offers an affordable entry point for businesses new to press releases, although some advanced features require extra fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PRWeb?

PRWeb used to be a cost-effective solution that I would often use instead of "more expensive" services. I would often find that the value was better in comparison to other services because it used the same syndication services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PRWeb?

I have mentioned this regarding other Cision products -- the company has purchased many competitors, and as a user, it is difficult to "shop around" and feel that you are getting value-for-money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you?

Distribution with PRWeb was always easy and cost-effective. I never had any complaints about the product, and to be honest, the acquisition was the reason I stopped using it. If you are already using Cision, why would you look at the same services under one umbrella? I stopped using it as a legacy customer after I used up the package of releases I had purchased.

What do you like best about PRWeb?

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.

What do you dislike about PRWeb?

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.

Recommendations to others considering PRWeb:

Evaluate time savings for having a media database vs. trying to find contact information one-by-one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PRWeb solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems we're solving is how to best contact journalists and which journalists to contact based on a client's area of focus. It's also a good way to make media lists which are more engaging and easier to edit as a group/across different agencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
