Will a press release get me coverage in The Times, FT or Guardian?

Rarely on its own. National newspaper news desks receive hundreds of releases per day and cover a tiny fraction. Coverage at that level comes from direct relationships with named journalists, a genuinely newsworthy story (real numbers, exclusive data, significant people), and sometimes a pre-briefing under embargo. The wire is a support tool for that, not the primary mechanism.

How long after distribution will coverage appear?

Automated syndication to partner sites happens within hours. Real editorial pickup (a journalist reading the release and writing a piece) happens over 1 to 7 days, peaking in the first 48 hours. If no pickup after a week, move on — a stale release does not revive.

Does press release distribution help SEO?

Marginally, and less than agencies claim. Google explicitly devalues press-release-style links in most cases. Wires that automatically nofollow their links (most major ones now do) pass minimal SEO value. The SEO benefit is mainly indirect: if editorial coverage picks up the story, those links do pass authority.

Do I need to be in the UK to use a UK press release service?

No. We distribute UK-targeted releases for international clients wanting UK media reach. What matters is that the release is relevant to UK readers, uses UK spelling and references, and includes a UK spokesperson or angle where possible.

What industries do you cover for UK press release distribution?

We distribute releases across all sectors — from fintech and financial services to luxury fashion, consumer tech, healthcare, and startups. Sector knowledge matters: we know which desks at which publications cover your industry and how to angle the release for them.

About Forbes

About Forbes & Why a DA 94 Feature Matters

Forbes is one of the most recognised business publications in the world. Founded in 1917, it earned its reputation through sharp coverage of entrepreneurship, finance, investing and leadership — and through its influential lists, from the Forbes 30 Under 30 to the global billionaires ranking. Its audience is exactly who most founders want to reach: executives, investors, decision-makers and ambitious entrepreneurs across the US, UK and beyond.

With a Domain Authority of 94, Forbes sits at the very top of the web’s authority scale. A genuine editorial feature in Forbes does two things at once: it lends your brand the credibility of a name customers and partners already trust, and it earns a backlink from one of the strongest domains on the internet — the kind of link that measurably strengthens your own search rankings. United Press secures real, written Forbes coverage, never adverts, and you pay only when your feature is published.

How can being featured in Forbes benefit my business?

A Forbes feature enhances your credibility, increases brand visibility, and attracts new business opportunities — opening doors to influential decision-makers and boosting sales by elevating your profile.

What are the effective methods to get featured in Forbes?

Newsworthy storytelling, expert thought leadership and a tailored pitch that meets Forbes’ editorial standards — or partnering with an agency like United Press that has direct contributor relationships.

Can a PR agency guarantee a feature in Forbes?

United Press offers a written, money-back guarantee on agreed placements — if we don’t deliver, you don’t pay.

Overly promotional, non-newsworthy content, ignoring editorial guidelines, and generic mass pitching. We craft each pitch specifically for Forbes’ editors.

What types of content should I focus on?

Data-driven insights, expert commentary, founder stories and timely industry trends perform best with Forbes’ audience.

Can I get featured if my business is new?

Yes — a strong, unique angle and credible expertise matter more than company age. We position new brands for Forbes-worthy coverage.

What is Forbes’ Domain Authority (DA)?

Forbes has a Domain Authority of around 94 out of 100, placing it among the most authoritative websites in the world. A backlink from a DA 94 domain like Forbes carries exceptional SEO weight.

How much does it cost to get featured in Forbes?

Pricing for a genuine Forbes feature reflects the publication’s DA 94 authority and the editorial work involved. We share exact pricing once we understand your story and goals, and you pay only when your feature is published live.

Is the backlink from a Forbes feature dofollow and permanent?

Wherever Forbes’ editorial policy allows, your feature includes a contextual link, and the published article stays live permanently, so the link keeps building your authority long after publication.

How long does it take to get featured in Forbes?

Once your angle is agreed, most Forbes placements progress within a few weeks, depending on the editor’s schedule and the strength of the story. We handle the angle, writing, pitch and outreach end to end.
