TAMPA, FL – September 22, 2025 – PR.PLUS, a new press release distribution service, today announced its official launch, offering small businesses and entrepreneurs professional media coverage.

The service provides the same distribution channels used by traditional PR agencies that typically charge $3,000 to $5,000 per release, democratizing access to legitimate news coverage for businesses of all sizes.

The company addresses a significant gap in the market where small businesses need credible media exposure but cannot afford traditional PR agency retainers or navigate complex distribution platforms independently.

PR.PLUS handles the entire process, from professional writing to distribution across 140+ news sites, including Associated Press (AP) News, Google News, Bloomberg Terminals, and local affiliates of major networks including NBC, CBS, FOX, and ABC.

"Most small businesses know they need press coverage but get stuck between expensive agencies and complicated DIY platforms," said Gamze Gurer, founder of PR.PLUS. "We provide social proof through established networks and add professional writing, strategic consulting, and complete handling of the technical process.

The service includes several key features that traditionally require multiple vendors or significantly higher investments:
- Professional Writing and Editing – Human writers craft each press release following AP style guidelines and SEO best practices, ensuring maximum pickup by news outlets and search engines.
- Comprehensive Distribution – Each release reaches AP News with potential exposure to 35 million unique monthly visitors, placement on Google News, inclusion in Bloomberg Terminals accessed by financial professionals, and syndication to 140+ regional and industry-specific news sites.
- Strategic Targeting – Clients can select two countries, five industry verticals, and one local market for focused distribution, ensuring their news reaches relevant audiences rather than generic mass distribution.
- AI and Search Optimization – Press releases are structured for both traditional SEO and emerging GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), helping content appear in AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and other large language models that increasingly influence how people discover information online.

Marketing Assets – Clients receive "As Seen On" badges featuring logos from NBC, CBS, FOX, and ABC affiliates, a complete distribution report with live links, and permanent backlinks from high-authority news domains.

According to recent industry data, businesses using press release distribution see an average 30% increase in website conversions when displaying media badges, and backlinks from news sites can improve domain authority scores by 15-20% over six months. The permanent nature of press coverage also provides long-term SEO value, unlike paid advertising which stops generating returns when spending ends.

PR.PLUS differentiates itself through transparency about what clients receive. While the service cannot guarantee placement on main network homepages or flagship publications like Forbes or Entrepreneur – which require direct journalist relationships and typically cost over $5,000 – it delivers genuine news site placement that provides real SEO value and credibility markers at affordable prices.

The company also offers one-on-one consulting sessions to help clients develop newsworthy angles and maximize the impact of their press coverage. This personalized approach, typically reserved for high-paying agency clients, helps ensure each press release achieves meaningful business results beyond simple distribution.

"We built PR.PLUS because we saw too many small businesses either overpaying for basic PR services or attempting DIY distribution without understanding how to write effectively for news outlets," added Gamze Gurer. "Our model cuts through both problems – professional quality at a price point that makes sense for businesses that need to watch every marketing dollar."

The service processes most distributions within 5-7 business days, with clients receiving their complete report and marketing assets immediately upon publication. Unlike subscription-based PR services, PR.PLUS operates on a pay-per-release model with no contracts or recurring fees.
