More Than Just Press Releases

PressWire.ie is Ireland's only domain-verified press release platform that delivers real SEO value through quality backlinks

Our Story

Founded in 2025, PressWire.ie was born from a simple frustration: Irish businesses were paying hundreds of euros for press releases that provided zero SEO value and took days to publish.

We built PressWire.ie to solve three critical problems:

  • Speed: Your news goes live in 60 seconds, not 60 hours
  • Authenticity: Domain verification ensures only real companies can publish
  • SEO Value: Every PR includes valuable dofollow backlinks

🔗 Understanding Backlinks & SEO Value

What Are Backlinks?

Backlinks are links from one website to another. When PressWire.ie links to your website, it's essentially giving your site a "vote of confidence" that search engines like Google recognize and reward.

Why PressWire.ie Backlinks Are Valuable

✅ Dofollow Links

All our links are dofollow, meaning they pass full SEO value to your site, unlike many platforms that use nofollow links.

🏆 Domain Authority

Links from a verified .ie domain carry more weight for Irish businesses than generic international platforms.

🎯 Relevance

Industry-specific categorization means your backlinks come from contextually relevant content.

⚡ Permanence

Your press release and its backlinks remain permanently indexed, providing long-term SEO value.

What You Can Expect

  • 📈
    Improved Search Rankings: Quality backlinks are one of Google's top 3 ranking factors. Expect gradual improvement in your search positions.
  • 🌐
    Increased Domain Authority: Each quality backlink contributes to your overall domain authority score.
  • 👥
    Referral Traffic: Beyond SEO, readers clicking your links bring direct traffic to your site.
  • 🎯
    Brand Visibility: Your company appears in searches for industry news and announcements.

Pro Tip: Use custom anchor text for your main website link and include links to specific product pages or blog posts for maximum SEO impact. The more specific and relevant your links, the better the SEO value.

How Domain Verification Works

1

Email Domain Check

We verify your company email domain has valid MX records, proving it's a real business email, not a free provider.

2

CRO Validation

We cross-reference with the Companies Registration Office to confirm your company is registered in Ireland.

3

Instant Verification

Once verified, you receive a code via email and can immediately proceed to publish your press release.

Frequently Asked Questions

SEO & Backlinks

How quickly will I see SEO results from backlinks?

SEO improvements typically begin showing within 2-4 weeks as search engines crawl and index your press release. However, the full impact on rankings usually develops over 2-3 months. The permanence of our backlinks means they continue providing value indefinitely.

What makes a backlink "high quality"?

High-quality backlinks have several characteristics: they're dofollow (pass SEO value), come from relevant content, use descriptive anchor text, originate from a trusted domain, and are contextually placed. PressWire.ie backlinks tick all these boxes, especially for Irish businesses seeking local SEO improvement.

Can I include multiple backlinks in my press release?

Yes! We encourage it. You can include your main website, specific product pages, blog posts, and social media profiles. Each link provides SEO value and potential traffic. We recommend 3-5 strategic links for optimal impact without appearing spammy.

Do the backlinks remain permanent?

Yes, all press releases and their backlinks remain permanently published and indexed. This provides ongoing SEO value long after publication. Even if you unpublish a PR, search engines will have already indexed the links.

Platform & Process

Why is domain verification important?

Domain verification ensures only legitimate businesses can publish, maintaining the quality and trustworthiness of our platform. This exclusivity actually increases the SEO value of backlinks from PressWire.ie, as search engines trust verified sources more.

How fast is "60-second publishing"?

Once you complete payment, your press release goes live immediately and is accessible via its permanent URL. Search engine indexing typically begins within hours, and full indexing usually completes within 24-48 hours.

Can I edit my press release after publishing?

Yes, you have a 24-hour window to make edits after publication. This includes updating content, links, and contact information. After 24 hours, the PR becomes permanent to maintain integrity and SEO value.

What happens to my data?

We follow GDPR guidelines strictly. Your press release is public, but personal data is encrypted and never shared. We don't sell email lists or contact information. You can request data deletion at any time (though published PRs remain for SEO continuity).

What's the difference between pricing tiers?
  • Single PR (€49): Launch special price! Domain verification, SEO backlinks, 24-hour edit window

Can I save drafts and come back later?

Absolutely! Your draft is automatically saved in your browser and persists for 7 days. You can close the window, come back later, and all your content will be restored. Perfect for getting PR approval before publishing.

Technical & Support

What file formats can I include?

Currently, you can include links to images and videos hosted elsewhere. We recommend using high-resolution images (JPEG, PNG) and standard video formats (YouTube, Vimeo links). Direct file uploads are coming soon.

Is there an API for bulk submissions?

An API for enterprise clients and agencies is on our roadmap for Q2 2025. This will allow programmatic submission and management of press releases. Contact us to join the early access list.
