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.

How It Works

How to get featured in US media

US editors don’t run adverts — they run stories. Genuine coverage comes down to three things, and United Press handles all of them for you.

A newsworthy angle

We shape your brand into a story with real news value — the hook that makes an editor say yes.

Credible proof

We back it with facts, data and authentic detail that US journalists can trust and verify.

The right outlet & journalist

We pitch the specific US editors who cover your space — targeted outreach, not a mass blast.

Pay Only on Publication

No retainers. No risk. Pay only when you’re published.

Many US PR agencies charge thousands per month on long retainers — whether or not you get coverage. United Press works differently: you pay only when your feature is published live on a real US publication, with a permanent link. Earned media, on a pay-for-results basis.

Do you use press-release distribution or HARO?

We go beyond wire distribution. Rather than blasting a press release, we develop a real story angle and pitch named US editors directly — the approach that earns genuine, indexed editorial coverage with a backlink.

Do I need a press page on my website first?

It helps but isn’t required. A simple press or news section makes you look established to journalists; if you don’t have one, we can still secure coverage and you can add it later.

What kind of story does US media want?

Timely, relevant and genuinely useful — a launch, funding, data, expert insight or a fresh angle on a trend. We work with you to find the hook that US editors will actually run.
