The review for Press Release Jet

As a company based off in Canada, trying to get targeted distribution to our Canadian outlets can be at times difficult then I met press release jet. This is not something I have to go into details in as I am giving your service a 5-star rating which it totally deserves!

We use Press Releases as our SEO analyst suggested. Not only is your service affordable but also great in boosting our SEO! As this is the major reason for sending out our press releases. Thank you for a wonderful service. I am totally satisfied.

Press Release Jet does not disclose …

PRJ has an answer that sounds good for everything, yet they don't even have an area on their website to sign up for an account. Also, I asked PRJ to fix my website link a week ago (because it goes straight to their site, coincidentally), but they didn't.

Press Release Jet does not disclose what the really do. They're not like Prweb or PRNewswire. PRJ can actually hurt your SEO efforts. It's the cheapest form of press release there is.

Each statement here is 100% false and misleading. PRWeb is the low-end brand Cision, the parent company of PR Newswire. Press Release Jet shares the same distribution as PR Newswire. But I will break down why and how each statement is fake; four statements in total.

1. We disclose everything that we do, and even include sample reports from real customers on our website.
2. No, we are not like PRWeb or PR Newswire. We are better. Why? Because it is the same distribution (proof is provided in the video) except we charge $99 for what PR Newswire charges $700 for.
3. Press Release Jet 100% does not hurt your SEO. As proof, here is a screenshot of our Google search console: http://prntscr.com/gnx16k Turns out, Google recognizes all 300,000+ media sites linking to us (and we have that many because we use our own distribution to promote. Why? Because it is effective.)
4. We are indeed the cheapest in price, but far from in quality. We are right there next to the 'Gold Standard' as you can tell from the video.

Please watch this video we've made comparing the distribution between PR Newswire and Press Release Jet, and you will see as proof that it is the same distribution.
http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cbQrIOI0gi

Once you've watched this video, it would be self-evident that not only is every sentence by this reviewer (along with most of the other fake negative reviews that our competitors are unfairly writing about us because we've called out a few of them for copying our sales copy publicly), but that Press Release Jet IS the same, if not higher quality, than PR Newswire except at a fraction of the cost!

I had very bad experience

I had very bad experience; the problem is the URL clicked in some outlets, doesn't take you to the point intended. So it wastes of our money and our time. Also responded with below message.

We actually did have a conversation regarding this and I brought it up with the team. It was concluded we can't do anything about it as the issue arised from those media outlets. If you notice, not all the outlet have this issue. This is really unfortunate and we had to file a proceeding. Still, haven't heard back from them.

""Please note that this might be temporary, would be glad to go back to those outlets again and check the links. If the problem still precedes, we honestly can't do anything about it.

However, this isn't on our end. And we've already contacted their support as mentioned.

This sorta thing doesn't usually occur.

I hope this helps. """

At the end, we lost money as well as time!!!

Thanks.

There is nothing bad to say about press release jet. I remember a case I had a Press Release with some errors, I used the chat on your website and your staff very helpful in assisting and you made all the necessary corrections, all I had to do was email the correct PR to you guys. Wonderful experience!

My review for Press Release Jet

As an upcoming music artist, I heard much about Press Releases and I decided to give it a try. I happen to find you guys, Press Release Jet and I can say my first try was really satisfactory. This is my 5th Press Release with you guys and I decided to put out my satisfaction using your review. You guys are great.

Total scam

Total scam. Don't bother with these guys. All those positive reviews are totally fake. They do publish your news on some weird websites that nobody reads and they will even send you a "report" with the resources where your release got published but NONE of those sources get indexed by Google and you get ZERO backlinks from those sites. Furthermore, if you go to those websites direct (just their home pages) and type in some keywords from your PR you get NOTHING. Needless to say, your PR is NOT going to appear in Google News (in all fairness I don't think they claim they'll get it to Google News though). They'll claim the pages take awhile to get indexed (been 2+ weeks now since the PR got published, so YEAH, right....) and some other nonsense. All said and done - total waste of money

We've served thousands of customers, and "Michael Kay" is not a customer, unless he used a fake name in his review. Please see screenshot as proof: http://prntscr.com/g3p94o

As far as the quality of our backlinks (the media outlets in our distribution), it is among the highest quality of backlinks recognized by all popular backlink tools including Ahrefs, Majestic, Moz and is RECOGNIZED BY GOOGLE themselves. Please see screenshot as proof of Google Search Console:

As far as Google News, all of our PRs, unless it violates our guidelines or is deemed as 'spammy' by Google, will show up in Google News, Bing News and Google/Yahoo/Bing search. As proof, I've take a screenshot of the recent PRs across distinctively different industries along with it on Google News.

Scam!!!!

Paid $100 to service a press release and 72 hours after the release of the press release I have nothing to show for it. I have received one google alert and it's from their own website. Now I understand that not every outlet is going to pick up a press release, but I was guaranteed that it would be serviced to all of these media outlets, including google news and bing and nothing!

Thankfully I used American Express and have screenshot everything they promise and will be disputing the charges.

Also, all of these glowing reviews on this site are fake and 90% of them are written by the same person!

Stay far away!

Like a Bait and Switch, or Simply Liars

I actually found these people here, and decided to try. They offered a discount for my first PR, when I joined the mail list. There was no expiration or when it had to be sent. I sent, and they refuse to credit me.

The CS rep Chris B (who needs to look for a new job since he doesn't know what CS is) has FOUGHT me on this, refuses to answer questions, doesn't answer emails, closes chat windows.

He claimed that since they don't offer that discount when people sign up for letter anymore, therefore I am not entitled to what they promised.

I have email proof of the discount as well, which he saw.

Needless to say with all PRJ reviews, it takes one idiot in CS to screw up all their hard work.

Update-- Here is their reply after I showed them this review-- notice the sarcasm ( ** added for emphasis)
=============================
**Good job.**

I was following company's protocol and was actually in talks with the financial department to provide you with a 20% discount.

**Hope you have a great time.**

........

So there you have it. And BTW.... they never gave the 20% either.
He was in **talks**? For a simple discount?
==========

In regard to their "reply" below..

1. TrustPilot as is known, ONLY accepts REAL reviews. They confirmed with me that this is REAL.
2. Their screenshot--- Get this guys... This is a REPLY to THEIR email asking me to RATE them. So I told them. AND they KNEW from the email string, since they posted that screen shot, I was a customer.
3. In regard to the promotion.... there was NO expiration date. The condition was - After sending FIRST PR.
4. Instead of them making up false stories here about not being a customer, trolling etc, the SMART thing would have been to reach out to me and make good.
5. Their reply, proves the point of this review and is a joke. They know full well ONLY REAL CUSTOMERS can post reviews, so why go through a lengthy rebuttal when they start off saying I was not a customer?

* Original Response *
Firstly, this person is not a customer.

Regarding our promotion, we ended that promotion 4 months ago and for 60 days after we ended it, we still honored it (which is extremely generous since with most companies, once a promotion ends, it ends).

Lastly, this person has trolled our customer support including Live Chat, email tickets and even our feedback form. This kind of behavior is not acceptable in a professional environment. Here is a screenshot: http://prntscr.com/fmlst6

That said, if you are considering sending a press release, give us a try and we will take care of you :)

* EDIT 8/2/2017*

Chris has had a great track record. You can see some of the recent feedback our other customers have left for him here as proof: http://prntscr.com/g3pdw8

As stated in the previous reply, we've ended that promotion over 4 months ago. He has not submitted a press release, therefore not a customer; but as he has eluded TrustPilot is known to only accept "REAL reviews" which we believe TrustPilot has decided to keep this because they've initiated communication with our customer support and is technically a "potential customer" although that is a stretch (You can see his reply here http://prntscr.com/fmlst6 to judge yourself whether he is trolling or not).

Back to HIS point that "TrustPilot as is known, ONLY accepts REAL reviews", we encourage you to read all of the 5 star REAL reviews from our REAL customers.

If you are considering sending a PR, we encourage you to do your research and homework. You will find that we've served thousands of customers ranging from small independent crowdfunding campaigns to publicly traded companies on the NASDAQ and NYSE with many, many happy customers; and we are happy and committed to serve you with your next PR order.

100% satisfaction

We needed a sudden increase in sales to stay afloat, for sure. Small businesses like mine are pretty much invisible to the public without marketing campaigns like these. When I emailed Press Release Jet, I was asking them loads of questions due to our lack of funds. They put me at ease with their patience and understanding about the situation we were in at that time. I'm also seriously relieved that we got the results we needed to at least stay up a few more months. I'm going to give it another shot and see if we can keep the heart beating here.

Out but a lot of unkowns

My release got distributed but I didn't see any publications that were picked up on my Google alerts (possibly 1). Also once I submitted, I couldn't go back to the release to look and make sure everything was 100%. Also, I put in my location (not in US) and time for release but the release was distributed before the time at the location of choice. I tried to confirm the time issue with support but only got a canned reply that it will go out as scheduled.
