What do you get from Press Elevate?
- We write the draft. You do not need a finished release.
- You approve it before you pay. Tell us what to change and we revise it. If you decide not to go ahead, you pay nothing.
- Publication on 400+ (Core) or 500+ (Global) news and finance sites, and a report with every live link.
- One thing to know: a published release cannot be edited, so check the draft carefully before you approve it.
What do you send us?
Your name, company, website, the news in 2–3 lines and the date you want it out. Here is a fictional example of a brief:
Acme Cloud (acmecloud.example) launches a reporting tool for finance teams on 12 Nov. It cuts month-end reporting from five days to two. The CEO can give a quote.
We reply within one business day with a free release plan and then write the draft.
When should you write it yourself?
If you write well and have a finished draft, a self-serve service costs less: for example PRWeb from US$120 and EIN Presswire from US$149 (read 5 Nov 2026). If you hire a writer, add that fee. A well-written release still does not promise coverage, a ranking or a number of visits. See Are press releases worth it?
