Description

Authority Press Release

Real press coverage your business can actually prove

Most “press release distribution” ends with a receipt and no results. You never see where it landed, whether Google indexed it, or if it did anything for your visibility.

The Authority Press Release is different. Every order is professionally written, published to USA Today, AP News, and 350+ syndicated outlets, and returned to you as a live link report — the actual published URLs, ready to hand a client or file as proof of work. It’s the single strongest move for building unstructured local citations: authoritative news domains repeating your business name, location, and category exactly where local search and AI engines look to confirm you’re real.

A milestone, launch, hire, or angle — we’ll help you find one.

Drafted in 5 business days with your GBP or video embedded.

USA Today, AP News + 350 outlets. Google News guaranteed.

Every live URL, indexed — proof you can show.

What’s included

Everything in the standard $199 release

No tiers to decode and no core feature held back as an upsell. Every Authority Press Release ships with all of this:

  • USA Today + AP News placement — publication on nationally recognized news domains
  • Guaranteed Google News pickup — the release lands where news actually surfaces
  • 350+ downstream syndication — affiliated news and finance outlets amplifying the story
  • Live link report — every published URL, delivered to you
  • 2 rounds of indexation — actively pushing the release into Google’s index
  • GBP or YouTube embed — turning each placement into a local citation
  • 5-business-day draft turnaround — fast, without cutting quality
Two formats, one network

Pick the outcome you’re after

Both formats run through the same 350+ outlet network. The difference is what the writing is engineered to do — announce, or get cited.

Round-Up Editorial Placement

$299

When the goal is being cited by AI answer engines, not just publishing an announcement. Written in an independent, off-brand editorial voice and structured the way AI models prefer to quote — comparative, entity-dense, framed around a real buyer question.

  • Expert round-ups — featured among named authorities
  • Buyer’s guides — a recommended option at decision stage
  • Cost explainers — “how much does X cost,” heavily cited in AI answers
  • State-of-industry — trend framing that earns mentions

FAQ

Straight answers before you buy

Can a small business really get published on USA Today?

Yes. USA Today placement is built into the standard $199 Authority Press Release — not reserved for large brands or sold as an add-on.

Will it show up in Google News?

Yes — Google News pickup is guaranteed, and every order includes two rounds of indexation to help the release get into Google’s index.

How does a press release help my local SEO?

It creates unstructured local citations — authoritative news domains mentioning your business name, location, and category. With your Google Business Profile embedded, those mentions reinforce the exact entity data local search and AI engines use to corroborate a business.

What’s the difference between the $199 and $299 options?

$199 is a branded announcement optimized for citations and Google News. $299 is an independent editorial placement engineered specifically to earn AI citations and mentions.
