Get featured on Payment Processing Media Outlets in 48 hours

Yes, you can do some parts of PR yourself, like building relationships with a few key industry bloggers or being active on social media. However, distributing a press release to hundreds of outlets is not a DIY task. It requires access to syndication networks that services like Mediaboost maintain. Trying to manually submit your news to hundreds of sites is impractical and often violates their submission guidelines. A distribution service automates this, ensuring your announcement reaches a wide audience and gets published on reputable domains, providing the SEO and credibility benefits you need.

The cost varies significantly based on the approach. A full-service PR agency retainer is the most expensive option, often running into thousands per month with no guaranteed results. Doing it yourself is technically free but highly ineffective for broad distribution and yields minimal impact. Press release distribution services offer a middle ground, providing guaranteed placements for a one-time fee. This model is typically much more cost-effective than an agency retainer. Our packages are designed to provide transparent, predictable pricing for widespread media coverage. You can review our current pricing and package options on our website.

Once your press release is written and approved by our editorial team for compliance with publisher guidelines, the process is very fast. For our media packages, publication begins almost immediately. You can expect to see your story live on hundreds of sites, including major outlets like AP News and Benzinga, within 24 to 48 hours. We then compile a full report with live links, which is delivered to you within 3 business days of the campaign start.

News that signals trust, growth, and innovation gets the most traction. Announcements about funding rounds, especially from well-known VCs, are always powerful. Securing a major partnership with a large bank or an enterprise e-commerce platform is also highly newsworthy. Other strong topics include launching a novel fraud prevention technology, achieving a significant security certification (like SOC 2 Type II), or releasing a data report on payment trends based on your platform's activity. The key is to anchor the news in a concrete, verifiable achievement.

Editors reject releases that read like advertisements or lack newsworthiness. To avoid this, write in a neutral, third-person tone. Your headline must state the news clearly and concisely. The first paragraph should summarize the most important information: who, what, when, where, and why. Crucially, avoid hype words like 'revolutionary', 'game-changing', or 'world-class'. Instead of saying your platform is 'secure', state that you 'achieved PCI DSS Level 1 compliance'. Stick to facts, figures, and verifiable milestones. Our AI-powered editor helps guide you through this process to ensure your release meets publisher standards.

Yes, but indirectly. An enterprise client won't sign a six-figure contract just because they saw you on Yahoo Finance. However, that media coverage is a critical piece of the trust-building process. During their due diligence, they will research your company extensively. When your sales team sends a proposal, and the prospect's security and finance teams vet your company, a portfolio of coverage on trusted financial news sites provides powerful third-party validation. It shows you are an established, credible player, which can be the deciding factor that de-risks the decision and gets the deal signed.
