You launched. Nobody noticed.

You spent weeks building your product.

You finally launched.

  • You posted it on X.
  • You posted it on Product Hunt.
  • You dropped it into a few communities.

Then... silence.

That's normal.

A tweet scrolls away in a day. A launch post sinks in a week. Then you have no distribution, and nothing that keeps you visible next month.

Search engines don't know you exist. AI chatbots don't recommend you. New visitors have no reason to trust you yet.

PressDrop exists to fix that. A press release for your launch, on 500+ news sites, so you look legit to your customers and to the internet.

How PressDrop fixes it

Look legit to your customers and the internet.

One press release, on 500+ news sites. Three problems, three fixes.

01 · Get found

The internet doesn't know you exist.

Backlinks from high-authority news properties tell search engines your product exists.

More unique sites linking to you is one of the strongest signals that correlates with ranking on Google. Not a guarantee. It's just the work that moves it.

553 pickups and 199 sites with DR 40+ in one recent drop.

Why backlinks matter

02 · Get recommended

AI chatbots don't recommend you.

ChatGPT and friends love citing news outlets. Not founder threads.

So we put your story where they look. Some customers saw a change in as little as 2 days. Nobody can promise it, but it's a real shot.

03 · Get trusted

Visitors don't trust you yet.

A story on real news sites is something you can point to. Put "As seen on" on your own website, right next to your pricing.

Questions founders actually ask

Short answers about what PressDrop is, who it is for, and what press release distribution actually does.

What is PressDrop?

PressDrop writes a press release from your product URL and syndicates it to 500+ news sites. You get backlinks, a story in sources AI can cite, and a live report of where it ran.

How much does PressDrop cost?

One-time payment starting at $129. Regular price is $199. No subscription. You can generate a draft for free from any product URL before paying for distribution.

What is the 500-site guarantee?

Pay $159 instead of $129. If your drop does not reach 500 sites, you get another distribution. The standard plan still aims at 500+ sites, without that count guarantee. It is a count promise, not a promise that journalists write original coverage.

What is press release syndication?

Syndication is one drop onto a newswire that 500+ news sites already subscribe to. Those outlets can pull your story from the wire and run it. Which sites actually publish it still varies.

Are these real news sites?

The highest DR in a recent drop was 82, and 199 sites had DR 40+. ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX affiliates picked it up. Open a report and check every site yourself. See a real drop

Is PressDrop a PR agency?

No. We do not pitch journalists, and we cannot get you TechCrunch. That is earned media. PressDrop is press release distribution.

Do I need to write the press release myself?

No. Paste your product URL, we draft it, you edit it. Five free drafts. Draft first and pay when you are happy, or pay first and write it after checkout.

What happens after I pay?

If you already drafted a release, that's the one we use. If not, you'll create it next. Once your draft is complete, it goes to editorial review and you get an email. After review, it is distributed, usually within 24 hours.

How do I see where my release ran?

You get a live report with the sites that picked it up, their Domain Rating, and their potential audience. AI search checks unlock 24 hours after delivery, because engines need about a day to index new coverage.

Can I get a refund or cancel?

If PressDrop can't run your release, you get a refund. Once we have sent it to the distribution partner, the payment is not refunded. Retracting a release costs $200 to $300, and some outlets do not support retractions. You can generate and edit drafts for free first, so you know what goes out.

You built something. Make sure people can find it.

For the price of a few coffees, put your launch on 500+ news sites and look legit to your customers and the internet.

Backlinks. A better shot at being cited by AI. "As seen on" for your site. One-time payment.
