Customers do not see outlet counts or inventory on the order form before payment, because outlet coverage may be expanded and researched after the order. The minimum for your order appears on your confirmation.
You can order writing only, with Newsroom publication and no outlet pitches, or add one reach tier for one release.

Tiers are an add-on to your package. The package covers the writing. The tier covers distribution. Tier prices are the same for every category.

Monthly plans renew and bill each month until you cancel. Cancel anytime online in your admin area, just as easily as you signed up. Your plan ends at the end of the current billing month. Unused releases roll over for one month only. We email you a confirmation with these terms when you sign up, and we tell you before any price change.
With News Pack and monthly plans, your knowledge base grows every release, so your news gets sharper over time.
Guaranteed submissions, not guaranteed stories.
Outlets decide on their own whether to publish. We do not control editors, and we do not pay for placement. We do not promise placement on any named news site. We do not promise rankings, AI citations, traffic, leads or sales. City Press Release is not a backlink or SEO link-building service. Links in releases we publish or distribute are marked nofollow. Your Submission Log shows every outlet we sent to.
Upfront at checkout. Monthly plans bill each month.
If you cancel before writing starts, we refund the one-time amount paid for that release or restore the plan or pack credit used. If you cancel after writing starts but before publication or distribution, we issue a nonexpiring replacement credit. If we refuse a release before any outlet receives it, we refund the full amount paid for that release. If we miss the minimum, we issue a nonexpiring credit for the uncovered share of the reach charge. You may request that amount as a refund instead.
News Pack credits expire 12 months after purchase.
No. Credits belong to the purchasing account and may be used for the same business. Cash redemption is available where the terms provide for a refund or the law requires it.
Yes. Verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits receive 15% off the writing package price.
Up to 10 ready-to-paste Q&A items for your own website pages about that news or launch, built from the same facts in your press memory. You also get standard FAQ code (JSON-LD) and a step-by-step guide for Wix, Squarespace and WordPress. You post it on your site. We do not install it for you. Matching Q&A in the release and on your site helps connect the dots for Google and AI tools — a stronger signal than a release alone. We cannot promise rankings, traffic, or that any search engine or AI tool will quote it.
