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.
