Platform Features & Policies
Why haven't I heard about this method of press?
The only thing new about Presscart is our proprietary press platform. Our method of providing high-quality press without the back and forth of traditional PR is of our own creation. Presscart has exclusivity agreements with Tribune Publishing, A360, Hearst Media, and more. For the past 6 years, these longstanding relationships have grown into ironclad partnerships. It is because of these partnerships, that we are able to create a reliable and automated platform for press placements.
How is this different than a press release?
Press releases are a companies mouthpiece to the public. They are best utilized when bringing attention toward large company updates. Press releases do not contribute to your overall SEO health. These releases make it highly apparent that a company has paid for this to be published and they're generally not accepted as true press coverage. Presscart does not publish press releases; we only publish high-quality, organic and partnered articles. The articles our clients publish through Presscart are exactly the same as an organic article you would see in any major publication.
Do I have an account manager?
No, because Presscart is an automated publishing platform, there's no need for a dedicated account manager. You can view, edit, and approve all of your articles directly from within the Presscart account dashboard.
Will you always have the same outlets available?
No, in an instance where a publisher or Presscart choose not to renew a publishing contract, the outlet will be immediately removed from our platform.
Will you add new outlets?
Yes, we update our platform once per month. Upon creating an account, you will receive an email notification as soon as we add the latest publications each month.
What topics do you publish?
News, Business, Lifestyle, Technology, Entertainment, Fashion, Music, Cryptocurrency, Luxury, Real Estate, Gaming
What does "Exclusive" mean?
We are proud to have exclusivity agreements with three of the largest media companies anywhere in the world. This agreement authorizes Presscart as an exclusive 3rd party reseller, with the lowest prices possible.
What does "Inquire" mean?
If you would like to purchase an article with such option, please input the information asked when prompted on our platform. A publication is set as an inquiry-first option if there are additional points you must review with a Presscart account manager. Please email us about any interest at hello@presscart.com
Content Requirements & Restrictions
Do your articles include photos?
Yes, you must upload at least one relevant, quality image with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Can multiple outlets publish the same article?
No. Due to laws against plagiarism, we do not allow a single article to be circulated among multiple outlets. In addition, this type of publishing will hurt the overall SEO health of your business or client.
