Press release distribution or publishing on outlets you pick.
There are two ways to pay for a press release. One sends the same text down a newswire to dozens of sites at once; the other publishes your story on specific outlets that you choose.
Newswire distribution Volume
You submit the release to a wire and it syndicates it to its network for a package price.
- The same text, headline and link on every syndicated copy
- Copies often sit on pages with little or no organic traffic
- You learn where it ran from the report, after it ran
- A duplicate-link pattern that Google spots easily
Publishing on outlets you choose Quality
You pick each outlet with its price and traffic on screen.
- You know which outlet runs it before you pay
- Outlets with a real audience in your country, region or trade
- You can adapt the text to each outlet instead of duplicating it
- Payment is held until you validate the post

How much does it cost to publish a press release?
It depends on the outlet, not on the size of the package. Here is what to know before you pay.
Roughly €20 to €200 per post
On a trade or regional outlet with a real audience, each post costs roughly €20 to €200; major national titles usually cost more. Growwer shows the price of every outlet before you choose it, and you only pay for the posts you buy, with no subscription.
What to check on each outlet before you buy
A price only makes sense next to what the outlet gives you in return:
- Estimated monthly users: how many people visit the site.
- Organic traffic and DR: whether Google gives it visibility and authority.
- Front page: whether the release appears there, usually the most visited page.
- Social media and newsletter: if the outlet uses them, your story travels further.
- Fit: that the outlet covers your trade or your area.
Why “X sites for €100” ends up expensive
Those low-cost services tend to publish on sites with no traffic, burnt out by running everyone else's releases. Below is a release launched through one of them: seven sites, the same headline, the same text and the same anchor, none related to the automotive trade the advertiser was in, and zero organic traffic on every one.
To Google that is external duplicate content and a link-buying pattern. A single post on a relevant outlet can get more visibility than dozens of copies like these.

What a press release does for SEO (and when it hurts).
A link from an authoritative outlet
A link from a newspaper or a trade outlet is one of the signals that weighs most, as long as it comes in a single article with context. If links are what you are mainly after, see also how to buy links on media sites.
Brand mentions and E-E-A-T
Even without a link, recognised outlets writing about your company strengthen the experience, expertise, authority and trust (E-E-A-T) Google looks for in a publisher, above all in sectors where reputation matters.
Showing up in AI answers
ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews lean on what outlets they consider reliable publish. A story in your trade press is one of the sources they can cite when someone asks about companies like yours.
When it hurts: the same release on a hundred sites
Buying the same story, with the same text, link and headline, on many sites at once and within a few days leaves a very clear buying pattern for Google, one that can end in a link penalty. If your project is long term, don't use mass distribution for SEO.
When to launch it
It works best as a one-off at moments of high sales or news: Black Friday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, an enrolment period, a launch. Back it up with social media posts so it reaches more channels.
What gets your press release accepted by an outlet.
Every outlet reviews a release before accepting it. These three things make the difference.
News, not an advert
A launch, your own data, an opening, a partnership or an award. A text that only sells your product is far more likely to be turned down.
- Informative headline
- Verifiable data and quotes
A fit with the outlet
A motoring site runs motoring news; a local paper runs what happens in its area. Choosing the right outlet is half the acceptance.
- Related topic
- Consistent geography
Few, natural links
One link in the body, to a page that gives the reader something, with an anchor that makes sense. A release full of commercial links shows.
- Varied anchors
- No repeated links

What kind of exposure do you want from a press release?
| If you need | Growwer | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Online visibility, search results, and backlinks | Growwer: Yes | Growwer publishes your release outlet by outlet: you pick each news site with its price, traffic and DR, and every post has its date and URL. Roughly €20 to €200 per post on trade and regional outlets. |
| Local or regional media coverage | Growwer: Yes | Regional and local news sites from the catalogue, chosen by country and city, each with its traffic before you pay. |
| Announce a new business, product, or service | Growwer: Yes | Publish the announcement on the trade and news outlets your customers read, with a guaranteed placement and its URL, instead of a wire package you cannot check. |
| Get picked up by journalists and major news outlets | Growwer: In part | Partly. Growwer guarantees publication on the outlets you pay for; it does not pitch journalists for earned coverage. For that, hire a digital PR agency. |
| Investor relations or financial announcements | Growwer: No, see why | Not Growwer: regulated disclosures need a wire service such as Business Wire or GlobeNewswire. |
What's your budget per press release?
| If you need | Growwer | Why |

| Free | Growwer: No, see why | Free press release sites rarely get read or indexed. Growwer is paid, per outlet, from about €20. |

Frequently asked questions about publishing press releases.
What people ask most before buying their first one.
- On digital outlets that accept articles from companies: national, regional and local press, trade media and niche blogs. Growwer lists 41,000+ verified outlets in 27 markets, filterable by country, language, topic and price.
- On a trade or regional outlet, roughly €20 to €200 per post; major national titles cost more. Growwer shows each outlet's price before you buy, and there is no subscription.
- Submitting it to journalists or a wire leaves the decision to each newsroom, and there is no guarantee it runs where you want. Publishing means paying the outlet for the space: you know where it will appear and you don't pay until you validate the post.
- A wire is useful when you need wide dissemination, such as a listed company's disclosures. For visibility and SEO, syndicated copies of the same text often land on pages with little traffic. Choosing outlets one by one costs more per post, but one good placement can get more visibility than dozens of copies.
- Yes, published one by one on relevant outlets: they bring an authoritative link, brand mentions and sources AI can cite. The same release duplicated on many sites at once hurts, because it is a link-buying pattern.
- The outlet reviews it before publishing and can ask for changes or turn it down. Since payment is held until you validate the post, you don't pay for a release that hasn't been published.
- Yes. The catalogue covers 27 markets and more than 10 languages, so you can publish in each country's press, in its language, from the same account.
- You can order the writing on the platform or delegate the whole campaign to the managed service, from €500/month, and you approve every outlet and every article before it goes live.
