Frequently asked questions

Pressonify turns your announcement into a press release written to be quoted by AI assistants, publishes it on its own structured page the same day, and then checks whether Perplexity, Claude and Gemini use it when people ask about your company. When they do, you see the question, the engine, your position in the answer and what the AI said.

Most of them. As of September 2026, 64 of the 80 releases published on Pressonify have been cited by at least one AI engine, typically within about four days of going live. In our September 2026 tests on a customer release, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini all used it when asked about the company by name.

A citation here means an AI answer we checked used your release as a source. It is not a page view.

• Perplexity: 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days after publishing, with about 20 questions each time
• Claude and Gemini: at 48 hours and 7 days
• Follow-up checks: at 30, 60 and 90 days, to catch citations that arrive later
• ChatGPT: added on every scan with Premium

Above all, questions about your company: "who is [your company]", "[your company] news", "is [your company] legit". When a prospect, investor or journalist asks an AI assistant about you, the answer is built from the facts in your release, often with a link to it.

We also test two questions a new customer might ask without knowing your name, such as "24-hour boiler installation in the UK", and show you which sites those answers rely on today. A follow-up release that answers one of those questions directly, with your prices and service area, is the way into them.

We ask AI assistants the questions a customer, investor or journalist might ask and record when the answer uses your release as a source. Each question counts once per engine, however many times the answer links the page. Your citation emails show it as "cited in X of Y answers we checked", per engine, with your best position.

The main value is what the answer says: people asking an AI assistant about you get your facts, your positioning and a link to your release. We also record visits that arrive from AI assistants, and your release links to your website.

No one can guarantee what an AI engine will cite. What we can do is publish your release in the format AI assistants quote, check the major engines on a fixed schedule and show you the evidence either way. Four in five releases published on Pressonify have been cited so far.

A newswire sells reach: your release is copied to partner sites. Pressonify gives your release one fast, structured page built for AI answers, and then shows you which questions, engines and positions it earned. It costs €9.95 for your first release and €49.95 after that.

If your story also runs on a wire, the AI may cite either copy. Our reports list the other sources each answer used, so you can see which one it chose.

Startups, small and medium businesses and agencies announcing launches, openings, funding, partnerships and milestones, especially companies AI assistants do not know much about yet. Agencies use it to publish for clients and show them the AI citations.

The AI drafts your release in about a minute. You review and edit it, confirm your company email, and it goes live the same day.

Yes. The live demo drafts a release from your own announcement for free, with its citability score and the structured data AI assistants read. Nothing is saved or published. Your first real release is €9.95.

Four lengths and styles (standard, concise, detailed and data-driven) and four tones (professional, friendly, urgent and casual), so 16 combinations. You can edit every word before publishing.

The AI is instructed to use only the facts in your announcement: no invented statistics, partnerships or awards, and none of 12 common buzzwords unless you used them. You review and can edit every word, and nothing goes live until you approve it. Check every figure and quote before publishing: what you approve is exactly what AI assistants will repeat.

A 0 to 100 score for how quotable your release is to AI assistants, with suggestions to raise it. It weighs information gain (specific, new facts) at 35%, structure at 25%, freshness at 15%, competitive context at 15% and authority at 10%. Releases with a price, a number and a place score highest.

Yes. Every submission is screened for scam patterns (for example crypto promises, prize and phishing wording) and checked against its domain verification. Higher-risk releases go to manual review before publishing.

It confirms you can speak for the company. We send a code to your company email address; enter it and you can publish. It keeps the newsroom free of spam and makes every release attributable to a real business.

No. We only accept company addresses (for example [email protected]). Free providers such as Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail are not accepted.
