DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS

Press Release Distribution for Agencies

Use FirstPublisher distribution when it fits the campaign, and use paid-plan own/external distribution when you need independent provider flexibility. Distribution Partner accounts unlock own/external distribution after selecting at least one FirstPublisher media/network.

SEE THE WORKFLOW

Distribution paths matched to your plan

Distribution Partner accounts start with FirstPublisher media/network usage. Paid Agency plans can independently use FirstPublisher distribution, own distribution, or both.

Publish once on FirstPublisher

A published press release receives one canonical FirstPublisher article. It can appear in the master newsroom and selected public media pages without creating duplicate canonical articles.

FinancialContent Network

Standard agency pricing is currently $26 per press release, subject to the agency’s assigned private commercial terms. Eligible releases can be submitted through the configured FinancialContent workflow, with distribution status and evidence attached to the release.

StreetInsider

Standard agency pricing is currently $35 per press release where the workflow is available. Approved agencies may have different negotiated rates. Successful purchase/use can be linked to the corresponding release and media destination.

Additional distribution networks

FirstPublisher can manage or record agency workflows involving GlobeNewswire, GoMedia Network and TMX Newsfile. Availability, account access, submission method, pricing and reporting depend on the relevant network arrangement and the agency’s configured commercial terms.

Paid-plan own distribution

Already have direct newswire or media contracts? Agency and Agency Pro plans can use FirstPublisher for client records, PR creation, approval, canonical publication, billing, placements and reporting while distributing through their own providers.

Mix FirstPublisher and external media

A single campaign can combine FirstPublisher distribution, agency-owned newswire relationships and direct media placements. On the $0 Distribution Partner plan, at least one FirstPublisher media/network must be selected before own/external distribution options enable.

Private agency pricing

Public standard prices are not a universal rate for every agency. Admin can assign product-specific private rates, including special high-volume commercial terms. One agency cannot see another agency’s negotiated price.

$0/month Distribution Partner

Workspace subscription is $0/month when the agency uses FirstPublisher distribution/syndication services and starts with $100 Wallet funding for eligible media/network purchases. Own/external distribution is disabled until at least one FirstPublisher media/network is selected.

$89/month Agency

For agencies up to 100 PR workflows/year and 30 clients. Includes all platform features and can use FirstPublisher distribution, own distribution, or both.

$299/month Agency Pro

For agencies up to 500 PR workflows/year and 150 clients. Includes all platform features and higher-volume agency operations.

What distribution does not promise

Selection or purchase of a third-party distribution/media workflow does not override that provider’s technical, editorial, compliance or availability rules. Publication, indexing, traffic and continued third-party availability should not be represented as guaranteed unless the specific service explicitly provides that guarantee.

THREE WAYS TO DISTRIBUTE

Use FirstPublisher distribution

Purchase an eligible distribution/media service at the price assigned to your agency.

Paid plans: use your own distribution

Agency and Agency Pro plans can keep existing newswire, direct-publisher or media relationships and record the workflow in FirstPublisher.

Combine both

Use FirstPublisher for some networks and your own contracts for others, then consolidate placements into one report.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you request access

Are the $26 and $35 rates fixed for every agency?

No. They are current standard agency prices. Admin can assign private negotiated rates for approved agencies and high-volume partners.

Does buying distribution guarantee Google News or traffic?

No. Distribution and publication do not by themselves guarantee indexing, ranking, traffic or continued third-party availability.

Can I use only my own distribution channels?

Yes on paid Agency and Agency Pro plans. On the $0 Distribution Partner plan, each PR must select at least one FirstPublisher media/network before own/external distribution options are enabled.
