PressBeat FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

Will journalists actually cover my niche?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our database covers 1.7M journalists across 160 countries. We've placed articles across Golden Visa advisory, sustainable real estate, and VC-backed startups. The narrower your expertise, the easier it is to find journalists who genuinely want your angle.

Question 2

What does the 30-day guarantee cover?

Accepted Answer

A journalist from a DR50+ publication engages with your story — interview, Q&A, or op-ed. If no journalist accepts within 30 days, you get a 100% refund. The final publication date depends on the journalist's editorial calendar.

Question 3

How is this different from a paid press article?

Accepted Answer

Paid placements are legally required by the FTC and Google's Webmaster Guidelines to disclose the content as "Promotional" or "Sponsored" and to mark every backlink as rel="sponsored". Google and AI search engines actively derank and de-cite that content. Organic editorial coverage carries no such label — it lifts your Google rankings and gets cited by AI search. 94% of AI citations come from non-paid sources; 27% specifically from organic press (Muck Rack Generative Pulse, Dec 2025).

Question 4

Will the article rank on Google and AI search?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Organic editorial coverage in DR50+ publications feeds Google authority signals and AI search citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Mode. 27% of AI search citations come from organic press (Muck Rack, Dec 2025); 49% for time-sensitive queries.
