Over the past year SBWire has added many search engine optimization features to our press release distribution services. During this time, we studied the effectiveness of search optimized online press release distribution and found that for many of our customers, this online distribution platform was as effective as our direct to media delivery options.

To better align our service offering with our customer’s needs today we are launching a new simplified pricing structure.

For search optimized online distribution services we now offer our new Search Optimized Distribution plan. This plan offers online distribution of your press release by our web site, RSS and Atom news feeds, email alerts to subscribed visitors and journalist and inclusion in our news database. Press releases distributed with this option are submitted to major search engines such as Google and Bing, major news sites such as Google News and Ask News and submitted to database services such as LexisNexis and Newsbank.

In the past, the only way to purchase our Search Optimized Distribution package was to be a subscriber to SBWire Plus or SBWire Pro. Although these premium accounts are still the most cost effective option, we now offer a single purchase option as well.

• Single distribution order - $14.95
• Up to 20 distribution orders per month - $49.95 with SBWire Plus
• Unlimited distribution orders for a single company - $99.95 with SBWire Pro

For customers who prefer to have their press release directly delivered to our database of journalist, bloggers, news desks, and editors, we offer our Direct to Media Distribution package. This package includes all the benefits of our Search Optimized Distribution package as well.

The Direct to Media Distribution package includes targeting to five locations, five industries, and one specialty media newsline for only $29.95 per press release.

You may choose to add additional options to your Direct to Media Distribution order including statewide geographical newslines, Regional geographical newslines and additional location newsliens.

Direct to Media Distribution package pricing:

• $29.95 – Up to five location targets, five industry targets and one specialty media newsline
• $14.95 – Statewide geographical newsline add-on
• $29.95 – Regional geographical newsline add-on
• $14.95 – Additional specialty media newsline add-on
• $14.95 – Additional five local media newslines
• $14.95 - Additional five industry media newslines

We are grateful to our clients who have provided many great suggestions for new features and improvements to SBWire. In the next few weeks we will be adding even more features to our press release distribution system, many of which are a direct result from the feedback we receive.
