Press release VS Editorial news - what is the difference?

Key Points:

  • Unique editorial news articles go on ONE website and is published by a real journalist profile. This is more trusted by readers. 
  • Duplicate newswires give you a fancy report with 100+ duplications of the same news release, it does not have a real journalist profile and is LESS TRUSTED by readers.
  • We offer BOTH the above services, it all depends on your budget and the package you choose. 

 

To get the most visibility for your business, it helps to understand the two different options in the market. On the one hand there are low cost duplicated newswires which will send over a fancy report and duplicate your news release on up to 200 news sites. But when you search for the news on the web, it only appears once because both Google News and organic search ignore all the duplicates. The frustrating part is that these type of news releases are not authored or edited by a real person. It is labelled as a “press release” and is therefore not trusted by many readers.

On the other hand, when you use a PR agency with strong editorial connections, they can craft a unique story in collaboration with editors. This produces an authentic result that is trusted by readers. It is not labelled as a press release, and typically triggers a unique search result in Google News and search. It is also not considered “paid or sponsored content” from a FTC standpoint. This is because you paid the PR agency for its editorial assistance to produce the content, but you have no commercial relationship with the premium publisher to accepts the content. This type of PR is very valuable because it is persuasive with readers and the media. It also has strong SEO benefits. It is the only option that supports strong business growth.

So instead of losing valuable time to smart competitors who already know this, start off on the right foot. Leverage our premium solutions to set your brand apart with ample visibility.

We use our valuable media connections to support smart business leaders in reaching their goals. That is exactly what we can do for your business.

A closer look:

When you read that a the author to an article is also the benefactor of any resulting actions the reader take, as opposed to a 3rd party editorial news writer, it has lower credibility. Content can be regarded as persuasive (or not) by virtue of the author and publication. 

The Sitetrail advantage: We are the ONLY platform that offers packages with “Editorial News”, which means that for many of our premium packages, your content has author credentials from a real journalist profile and will not labelled as a “press release”. This is more authentic and persuasive. In addition to authenticity, the results we obtain are actually useful for SEO ranking, reputation management, business development and sales conversion. 

When choosing any standard platform to submit a press release, like all our competitors (PRWeb, BusinessWire, PRNewswire, Reuters etc.) the content piece does NOT have an authorship profile, but is labelled as “press release” – which is very similar to “sponsored” content.

Knowing the facts: Typically, non-persuasive newswires charge less than $300 for “press release” content, whereas editorial media ranges from $350 to $5000 depending on the publication.

Help Me Choose The Best Press Release Package:

The starting point of any successful PR strategy is to feature your brand in some of the worlds’ most influential media outlets. Why? Because this will increase trust and conversion rates along with visibility. We offer two options to support any business who is serious about achieving this goal:

The first option is the premium brand awareness package. It will secure a mix of earned media featured editorial news articles written by journalists, as well as additional branded press releases. Clients are guaranteed to appear in major news outlets.

The second option is our ongoing Accelerated SEO, PR and Google News plan. This achieves exactly the same goal as the aforementioned plus a lot more: It will also help a business scale up to an enterprise level. It will truly support high-level SEO, PR and build referral traffic.

Are you looking into other solutions for basic news visibility? The weekly writing and distribution package is a good option for lower budgets. This will ensure that a journalist will write about our client in the news once per week on an ongoing basis, to support PR and SEO. We also have a “basic” press release and editorial news option which will secure some entry-level visibility, yet it will not support strong business growth. Clearly it is important to allocate a budget that will support your growth objectives.

We have another additional resource for companies who write their own news in-house. The unlimited monthly access plan will enable a business to publish a high volume of Google News indexed articles seven days a week.

Would you like some ideas on annual strategies? A budget savvy option is to start with a premium brand awareness package and then scale back to the weekly writing and distribution package. It can also be augmented with the unlimited access plan. A serious growth plan, will require our accelerated monthly plan to run all year round. Choose your package today or schedule a call with our team for additional guidance.

The biggest value comes from appearing on a single, credible mainstream news site as an original editorial. This option is available with our premium package. For standard press releases relying on duplication (the cheaper industry standard) distribution is as follows: Once approved, our news releases and editorial content are indexed by Google News and Bing News. Some content will also be shared across a Global Newsdesk partner network. Some site owners will also republish your news through a Plugin wire for WordPress, Via RSS syndication, Journalist emails and social media channels. Each news release is blasted out to a one of the biggest global media directories (worth $1000) the World Media Directory - as well as niche-focused blog networks to augment participating news sites.

Many of our clients news releases are often seen on APNews, CBS, MSNBC, Yahoo News, Marketwatch, CNBC, EuroWeeklyNews and NBC. Subscribers on the world media directory include more than 500 journalists across all industries. 

Frequently Asked Questions

We sell a high number of services at different price points, so please note the following before ordering:

  • We do not disclose the names of many of our media partners due to confidentiality and the fact that each publisher choose what news they want on their sites.
  • Some high-end packages include specific names of news sites, OR specific metrics such as combined traffic – you will find it in each package. 
  • Some cheap packages DO NOT include specific site names and are not a pick and choose service. In these packages news are sent via duplicate wires, which typically have poorer results. 
  • Please look at all the packages on here, read the FAQ’s and service descriptions before ordering the most ideal service, or schedule a call if you need help from our team in making your choice. 
  • With pricing points ranging from $199 to $10 000, it is important to understand the difference each package offers in order to have the right expectation from your package. 

Traditional presswires and “press release distribution” platforms all do one thing: They take the exact same press release and submit it to 100+ news sites, who replicate the same copy everywhere, tagged as “press release”, lacking the name of an authentic journalist. If you order such a service that will merely duplicate your content and wait for better days and results you will no doubt lose a lot of time to the competition.

Why is Sitetrail different? Our cheaper packages contain a small element of duplication too because that is what is known to the 99% who are trying to make sense of digital marketing, HOWEVER many of our higher tier packages are game changers that will beat the results of any traditional PR platform for two reasons: 

  1. We make an effort to provide unique editorial content, not merely duplicated, to help you improve on Google and be more trustworthy with audiences;
  2. We use stronger news partners with better metrics, that include DO-Follow links and high traffic volumes. 

Just like with most newswires, with us you can all those basic things like stick an image on your site “as seen on ABC” and other channels – but let’s focus on your growth: Remember that any platform that does not provide additional editorials like Sitetrail, will only deliver duplicate results which will not provide any SEO ranking. The only way to increase your total news citations is through more unique editorials. 

Moving on to what actually works: you can step up the game by making use of all the different packages we offer here – where authentic editorial and more Google News citations are on the cards. This is how you bypass disappointing results and the only way to build real dominance in the news, consistently, along with SEO benefits. 

Other key factors to remember:

  1. Budget check: Ultimately the question to ask for any business seeking to profit from digital marketing, is are you spending at least 25% annually of what you are expecting to earn from your press and SEO efforts? 
  2. Time lag for SEO effectiveness:  When you build momentum through editorial news and earning DO-Follow links, it requires several months (generally 90 days) to gain traction with your ranking. During this time, efforts need to be sustained. Having a weekly service where our PR experts keep you in the news continuously is one sure way of gaining traction. 

We developed a distinctly different and refreshing approach for clients who want the real thing with media outreach:

In order to build more authentic and long-lasting relationships between brands and the media directly without agency intermediaries, we have adopted a B2B marketing approach that targets journalists through the Linkedin profiles of our clients’ c-level executive team members. 

This is highly effective and makes use of a dedicated virtual assistant. 

Typically, brands would run this service throughout the year. To discover this, read about our advanced B2B marketing support service for media outreach. 

It is important to be realistic otherwise you will lose out on a lot of excellent media opportunities:

Have you considered the opportunity cost to a business, when buying an insignificant PR package and waiting for results that never come? It can be hundreds of thousands.

Each of our packages provide a clear overview on the deliverables. Be sure to choose a powerful package for stronger results. 

Yes we also have this option.

Averaging between 24 and 48 hours on new clients and as little as 6 hours for returning clients who trust our writing skills, we are one of the fastest service providers in the industry, serving clients globally. 

When you select any package that includes “Press Release” and not editorial news, it means that through the industry standard or duplication newswires, content is submitted to a range of news sites. This does NOT mean they will promote your news or have it indexed in Google, but that you may be able to appear in news archives. Typical sites which are contacted via newswires, in the United states:

  • ABC
  • AccesHollywood
  • Agweek
  • Al Jazeera America
  • America’s Radio News Network
  • Benzinga
  • Biz Journals
  • Bloomberg

NOTE: The most efficient way to appear on Google News and strong organic search results, is a unique editorial via a strong individual news site, not via newswires. For this reason, keep an eye out for packages about $2000 where the following criteria is met:

  • “DA” / domain authority rating of the site is strong,
  • Where DO-Follow linking is a possibility,
  • Where we provide an editorial news pitch & writing service.

Following a successful press release, your business will have great references and can add the following to your corporate communication: “As Seen/Featured on NBC, ABC, and FOX Affiliate sites”

Some of our clients need help with a smart pitch idea, headline or a general news concept. With a wide range of clients ranging from politicians, banks, small business owners in crisis, legal firms, health and pharma providers, musicians, film producers, popular bloggers and government agencies. We are well-versed in brainstorming until we can help you come up with the best communication strategy for execution.

Simple “syndicated” press releases alone will have almost zero impact on SEO and PR. It does not help to just duplicate the same article. A more effective way is to have several, uniquely written editorials in Google News.

Each 700 word news release can have 2 images and 2 permanent DO-Follow links to your website. Syndicated sites who duplicate your content will typically mark links as NO-Follow. 

It is customary for premium editorial news sites to allow 1 DO-Follow link per article. 

Where customers insist on highly promotional language that sounds like an advert and not a news release, it is normal for editors to insist on a “sponsored” label and a NO-Follow link. For this reason, adhering to our style suggestions is helpful. 

We help most businesses, with some exceptions:

Medical Supplements (Skin, hair gain/loss, weight loss, muscles), CBD, Dating, Politics, Legal, Make Money, phone unlocks, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, ICO, Gamling, Bail, Casino, etc are not allowed.

For the above, contact us for alternative solutions – we have plenty!

Numerous agencies use press releases to impress their clients and to showcase digital assets such as “as seen in the press”. 

 

Remember that when you use a standard press release platform (PRWeb, PRNewswire, Businesswire, EINPresswire etc. ) then the links and anchor text, along with all the content, is simply duplicated. 

 

The Sitetrail difference: 

With our premium packages, clients can have unique anchors in editorial, with unique content in addition to what we provide in the standard syndicated press releases. 

It is vital to understand the value of the media engagement you order and to make realistic comparisons. 

Sitetrail offers the largest distribution footprint at the lowest price points in the industry. CMO’s all agree that we provide the most rewarding ROI when deployed at scale. 

Our $399 package will cost on average $2000 with many New York agencies;

Our Premium $4950 package will easily cost $9500 when replicated by other agencies, or when you approach media sites directly. 

We may need to substitute media partners and you should not assume that placing an order guarantees media coverage in specific websites, unless a package clearly stats that AND you are in a permitted category.

In some cases Press Releases WILL NOT work and you may need to consider alternative editorial channels. These tricky / limited industries include gambling, adult, vaping, substances / drugs and certain types of politics and conspiracy theories or harmful investment advise.  for these two we do have SEO solutions it excludes Google News.

Our view is that if your business pays tax and contributes to the economy – it needs fair access to news and SEO, which we typically find for all our clients. 

Please note that for social media verification, any duplicated PR with a “press release” label that lacks an authentic author, can be to your disadvantage. For this reason, we suggest using the following options which are specifically tailored for your needs:

Instagram Verification Service

Twitter Verification Service

TikTok Verification Service 

If you have zero news at the time of starting with a media campaign to support verification on Instagram, Twitter or TikTok, a typical budget can range betweeen $5K and $15K. In cases where applicants already have some mentions in the news, or Wikipedia profiles, it may be less. 

Yes. For clients who handle their own distribution, or who follow our manual Linkedin supported outreach for niche journalism, we offer a press release writing service
