The client was very happy with the press coverage received, and based on this positive outcome, our company has decided to continue working with IssueWire in the future. Highly satisfied with the quality of service and professionalism. Pros IssueWire delivered everything they committed within the promised timeframe. Their service is very professional, the pricing is reasonable, and the Tier 2 Pro package provided excellent exposure for our client’s press release. It's definitely value for money. Cons Honestly, there was nothing significant to complain about. However, a little more real-time communication or order tracking updates could further improve the experience.

And when you choose the free plan then they will ask you to pay or else they don't publish your content. The chat support is full of idiots who don't even know what to say and when to say it. Recently, the chat support guy told us that "we don't accept PR's about Softwares" while the editorial guidelines say nothing about it. And that's not all your paid content is published on Subdomains which no one sees. For example: If you publish on Daily Herald then your pr will be published on \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] This happens everytime with issuewire. Use PRFire instead as its much better. Pros Price Search Engine Ranking for Press release Cons Support Editors are highly inconsistent and the reason for PR rejection is always vague Money-after company FREE plan is a big SCAM Christopher Purple P.

Legal action next." 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 August 22, 2024 It's a Total Scam and Waste Of Money. AVOID!!!! Pros None I was genuinely open to the idea of this site doing a good job. Never again! Cons Paid for Tier 2 Pro $65. The service is absolute garbage. They claim to send to Google Inclusion NOTHING      Yahoo Search Inclusion NOTHING                              Bing Search Inclusion NOTHING                              Google News Inclusion NOTHING                               Apple News Inclusion NOTHING   Social Media Blast NOTHING    Guaranteed Placements-They claimed 300+ They possibly sent to 142 placements-mostly to their affiliates. Questionable- and only then equal to Tier 1 service at $21.      Guaranteed Press Release Reach-9K-16K reach NOTHING    ...and so on. They tried to verify that they had sent to the above (Google etc), But all they actually did was show that issuewire.com comes up in a search with no actual PR published on any of the sites listed-only a link on issuewire. They even had the nerve to include the PR I'd done with other distributers that came up in a search as if it one of was theirs. The promotion report is also absolute garbage with over 20+ claiming to be sent to YouTube and most of the rest sent to obscure and uncheckable sites. With 1542 supposedly sent to one site alone (to obviously fudge up the numbers) and still nothing found there when I checked. So again, that's 1500+ sent and not 1 PR/article or mention could be found. CP. Date of experience: August 19, 2024 Hari S.

Please don't spend any money here, unless you are releasing some insignificant news. You are not going to get a single useable backlink from a high DA site. To end this review, please check their website thoroughly. They do not even indicate where they are incorporated. And their T&C is framed in such a manner that once you have paid the money, there is little you can do to get them to deliver what they promised. I would even go to say that all these positive reviews posted here are actually fake, just to fool marketers. Stay away and save your money. Pros I recently used Issuewire to make a company announcement. I used the $45 package, which seems to be cost-effective and all. But this is a total scam and I would not recommend anyone to use this service. Cons 1\. Most of the news sites they show in their distribution list are unknown names and have little credibility, forget DA. 2. The press release gets released in sub-domain links and not the actual domain of the news site (for e.g., \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and not in www.ask.com/) 3. Furthermore, most of the links in the distribution report were the same link, over and over again. 4. We were promised distribution through Google News, etc. But this was not delivered. CH Cori H.

I will not use it again. Pros Easy to use, UI was efficient. Guidance was clear. Liked the circulating pictures on post. Cons We paid for the premium service, and ended up with the lowest level of placements. Even after emailing and talking to the chat support, none of the promises made for placement happened. Did not even show up in an internet search, only on obscure sites. Didn't get the promised coverage report to my email. ## Top-rated software of 2026 ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
