Distribution packages can reach channels including AP News, Yahoo, Nexstar, Benzinga, and Digital Journal. Analytics include campaign performance data, PDF reports, email open and click tracking, and social engagement metrics; users can also add Google Analytics code to the member panel. Custom keyword alerts can arrive in real time or on hourly, daily, or weekly schedules, with no stated limits on alerts or users. Newswire describes media lists and journalist pitching for small businesses, PR agencies, and in-house teams. It reviews submissions and says notifications are sent within a few hours. Toll-free phone and chat are listed as support options. Services are priced on request, while public distribution options are charged per release: STARTER is $399, paid once, STATE DISTRIBUTION is $599, paid once, BASIC is $659, paid once, and FEATURE is $965, paid once.

Notified AI Press Release Optimizer helps communications teams refine press release drafts before distribution, with guidance for AI visibility and journalist pickup. It sits inside Notified’s Content OS drafting, review and distribution workflow. Authors can accept, edit or ignore explainable recommendations covering structure, originality, authority, terminology, keywords, quotations, citations and statistics, based on Notified’s SOAR Content Framework. The tool can export a wire-ready version or a Track Changes Word file containing the AI rationale. It accepts .docx files longer than 200 words, does not analyze tables and supports English, French and German. Notified says submitted content stays within its platform, is not shared externally or used to train public AI models, and remains under customer control. Processing runs in a private enterprise cloud through Microsoft Azure OpenAI. The Optimizer is included at no extra charge with paid GlobeNewswire press release distribution subscriptions. Distribution pricing requires contacting Notified. Notified also says no tool can guarantee citation by AI answer engines.
