Legal action next." — 1.0/5 > **Christopher** | *19 August 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: None I was genuinely open to the idea of this site doing a good job. Never again\! > > **Cons**: Paid for Tier 2 Pro $65. The service is absolute garbage. They claim to send to Google Inclusion NOTHING      Yahoo Search Inclusion NOTHING                              Bing Search Inclusion NOTHING                              Google News Inclusion NOTHING                               Apple News Inclusion NOTHING   Social Media Blast NOTHING    Guaranteed Placements-They claimed 300+ They possibly sent to 142 placements-mostly to their affiliates. Questionable- and only then equal to Tier 1 service at $21.      Guaranteed Press Release Reach-9K-16K reach NOTHING    ...and so on. They tried to verify that they had sent to the above (Google etc), But all they actually did was show that issuewire.com comes up in a search with no actual PR published on any of the sites listed-only a link on issuewire. They even had the nerve to include the PR I'd done with other distributers that came up in a search as if it one of was theirs. The promotion report is also absolute garbage with over 20+ claiming to be sent to YouTube and most of the rest sent to obscure and uncheckable sites. With 1542 supposedly sent to one site alone (to obviously fudge up the numbers) and still nothing found there when I checked. So again, that's 1500+ sent and not 1 PR/article or mention could be found. CP. Date of experience: August 19, 2024 > > It's a Total Scam and Waste Of Money. AVOID\!\!\!\! ----- ### "Reliable and Value-for-Money PR Service" — 5.0/5 > **Ronit** | *25 July 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IssueWire delivered everything they committed within the promised timeframe. Their service is very professional, the pricing is reasonable, and the Tier 2 Pro package provided excellent exposure for our client’s press release. It's definitely value for money. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there was nothing significant to complain about. However, a little more real-time communication or order tracking updates could further improve the experience. > > We purchased the Tier 2 Pro package for a client, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. The client was very happy with the press coverage received, and based on this positive outcome, our company has decided to continue working with IssueWire in the future. Highly satisfied with the quality of service and professionalism. ----- ### "Issuewire is Trash - Don't Publish a thing on This Platform." — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 September 2021* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Price Search Engine Ranking for Press release > > **Cons**: Support Editors are highly inconsistent and the reason for PR rejection is always vague Money-after company FREE plan is a big SCAM > > So we recently published a lot of content on issuewire but whenever we tried to publish the content they reject it and says "We do not accept this kind of PR" or They Say "write it in PR format" as our content is written by a professional PR writer there is no point in saying that. And when you choose the free plan then they will ask you to pay or else they don't publish your content. The chat support is full of idiots who don't even know what to say and when to say it. Recently, the chat support guy told us that "we don't accept PR's about Softwares" while the editorial guidelines say nothing about it. And that's not all your paid content is published on Subdomains which no one sees. For example: If you publish on Daily Herald then your pr will be published on \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] This happens everytime with issuewire. Use PRFire instead as its much better. ----- ### "Issuewire = A Total Scam and Con Job" — 1.0/5 > **Hari** | *27 November 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I recently used Issuewire to make a company announcement. I used the $45 package, which seems to be cost-effective and all. But this is a total scam and I would not recommend anyone to use this service. > > **Cons**: 1. Most of the news sites they show in their distribution list are unknown names and have little credibility, forget DA. 2. The press release gets released in sub-domain links and not the actual domain of the news site (for e.g., \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and not in www.ask.com/) 3. Furthermore, most of the links in the distribution report were the same link, over and over again. 4. We were promised distribution through Google News, etc. But this was not delivered. > > Overall, IssueWire is a scam conjob. Please don't spend any money here, unless you are releasing some insignificant news. You are not going to get a single useable backlink from a high DA site. To end this review, please check their website thoroughly. They do not even indicate where they are incorporated. And their T\&C is framed in such a manner that once you have paid the money, there is little you can do to get them to deliver what they promised. I would even go to say that all these positive reviews posted here are actually fake, just to fool marketers. Stay away and save your money. ----- ### "Paid for the Tier 2 Pro, the most extensive and didn't get those deliverables" — 1.0/5 > **Cori** | *2 December 2021* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, UI was efficient. Guidance was clear. Liked the circulating pictures on post. > > **Cons**: We paid for the premium service, and ended up with the lowest level of placements. Even after emailing and talking to the chat support, none of the promises made for placement happened. Did not even show up in an internet search, only on obscure sites. Didn't get the promised coverage report to my email. > > Didn't live up to their offer. I will not use it again. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/197374/issuewire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
