Important Update: Changes to Press Release Publishing and Indexing

6 hours ago - 2 min read

We are introducing an important update to how press releases are submitted, reviewed, and indexed on our platform. These changes are designed to improve content quality, protect originality, and ensure better visibility in search engines.

What Has Changed?

1. No More Copying Content from Other Websites

Users are no longer allowed to copy and paste press releases or news content from external sources. All submissions must be original and created specifically for publication on our platform.

This change helps prevent duplicate content issues and ensures that every press release delivers unique value to readers.

2. News Sources Must Be Verified

Before any press release can be considered for search engine indexing, the news source must now go through a verification process.

This includes confirming the legitimacy of the publisher and ensuring that the content comes from a credible and trustworthy source.

3. Verified Company Email Is Required

To complete the verification process, users must provide a valid company email address linked to their organisation or brand.

Only accounts with verified company emails will be eligible to publish content that can be indexed by search engines.

4. Only Fully Completed Profiles Will Be Indexed

Incomplete news source profiles will no longer be pushed to search indexing.

To qualify, users must:

  • Complete their news source profile
  • Verify their company email
  • Submit original, high-quality press releases

Why These Changes Matter

Search engines prioritise original, trustworthy, and high-quality content. By enforcing these new standards, we aim to:

  • Improve the credibility of all published press releases
  • Increase the chances of indexing and ranking in search results
  • Protect the platform from duplicate and low-value content penalties

What You Need to Do

If you are currently publishing press releases, take a moment to:

  • Ensure all your content is original
  • Complete your news source profile
  • Verify your company email address

These simple steps will ensure your content remains eligible for indexing and continues to reach a wider audience.

Moving Forward

This update marks a significant step towards building a more reliable and high-quality press release platform. By focusing on authenticity and verification, we are creating better opportunities for businesses to gain visibility and trust online.
