Thanks Steve. These services are a useful addition to what PR companies do. For international PR or in geographies where you have little or no contacts they are particularly handy but again as a supplement rather than acting as the only outreach you do.

Press release distribution companies may aid your organisation’s digital footprint and understandbly using to save valuable time rather than compiling international mailing lists for specific sectors makes sense, but nothing will ever beat the consistency of one on one relationships with key journallists when promoting stories on behalf of clients.

Thanks Thomas. Big debate on some UK sites on value of PR where some PR companies only produced SEO PR coverage as the result of a 3K spend. Interestingly we have has a few media queries that have arisen from SEO PR especially when journalists have google alerts set up for topics. Sometimes catches media you may have over looked or uncover new contacts.

Agree totally that they aid the digital footprint but anybody that thinks that this going to garner quality coverage is sadly mistaken. You can’t replace relationships, direct engagement and targeting with spam.
