Publish — the Fix layer

Press releases that get cited by AI.

Monitor finds the queries where AI cites your competitors. Diagnose tells you why. Wire publishes the missing answer — a GEO-optimized release pushed through every open-web channel ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude, and Grok actually read.

How the wire works

Produce → Publish → Get cited.

Produce

Draft in our GEO editor or paste your own. We score every release 0–100 against the rubrics of the six major AI engines and rewrite weak passages in one click — answer-first lede, named-source quotes with credentials, sourced statistics, comparison tables, FAQ block, schema.org NewsArticle + FAQPage markup.

Publish

One click pushes the release to RSS / Atom / JSON Feed, the Google News sitemap, IndexNow (Bing/Yandex/Naver/Seznam), WebSub subscribers, HMAC-signed webhook partners, the Wayback Machine, a tagged GitHub release, and a Bluesky post.

Get cited

AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) fetch the release. Within 1–4 weeks it surfaces in answers — and we monitor the same queries weekly so you see the citation land. Live receipts →

Placement guarantees

Where your release actually lands.

We only guarantee what we technically control. No vague "1,000+ media partners" marketing — here's the exact list.

Search engines & open web

  • Google Search — sitemap + WebSub ping
  • Google News — News-compatible sitemap
  • Bing & Bing News — IndexNow instant push
  • Yandex — IndexNow instant push
  • Naver (Korea) — IndexNow instant push
  • Seznam (Czech) — IndexNow instant push
  • Any RSS/Atom/JSON aggregator subscribed to your feed
  • Your registered webhook partners (HMAC-signed)
  • Internet Archive — Wayback Machine snapshot on every publish
  • GitHub Releases — tagged mirror on a PressGEO-owned repo
  • Bluesky — auto-post via AT Protocol (Perplexity-indexed)

GEO-optimized drafting

Every release is generated against the 13 GEO rules — answer-first lede, named-source quotes with credentials, sourced numbers, comparison tables, FAQ block, E-E-A-T signals.

Instant search engine indexing

IndexNow push to Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam the moment a release goes live. Google News sitemap re-ping included.

WebSub push to subscribers

PubSubHubbub notifies every aggregator subscribed to your feed within seconds — no polling, no delays.

Wayback Machine archival

Every release is pushed to the Internet Archive's Save Page Now on publish — permanent archive URLs that AI engines frequently cite.

GitHub Releases mirror

Each release is mirrored as a tagged GitHub release on a PressGEO-owned repo — high-authority domain, fully crawled by every AI engine.

Bluesky auto-post

Every release posts to Bluesky via AT Protocol — open, fast-growing, and indexed by Perplexity and other AI crawlers.

How it works

  1. 01You draft (or paste) a release. We score it 0–100 against the six major AI engines and rewrite weak passages in one click.
  2. 02On publish, we mint a stable public URL with schema.org NewsArticle + FAQPage JSON-LD and append it to your feeds.
  3. 03IndexNow pushes the URL to Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam within milliseconds.
  4. 04WebSub notifies the public PubSubHubbub hub — every aggregator subscribed to your feed receives the update.
  5. 05Webhook fanout fires HMAC-signed POSTs to every partner endpoint you've registered, filtered by category.
  6. 06Wayback Machine snapshots the release URL — permanent, citation-friendly archive URLs.
  7. 07A tagged GitHub release is created on the PressGEO mirror repo, and a Bluesky post links back to the canonical URL.
  8. 08Monitor re-probes your target queries weekly so you can see the citation land — and every delivery is logged in your dashboard.

Is the wire actually fixing losing queries?

The Publish layer only matters if AI engine crawlers fetch the pages and the target queries flip. Three numbers from the live monitor and the four questions buyers ask most often about wire-to-citation flow.

Frequently asked

How does a wire release actually fix a losing AI query?
Monitor identifies queries where ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude, or Grok cite competitors instead of you. Diagnose surfaces why (no answer page, weak source, missing comparison). A GEO-optimized release publishes the exact citable artifact those engines were missing — answer-first lede, named-source quote, comparison table, FAQ block, schema.org markup — and pushes it through the open-web channels their crawlers actually read.
Which AI engine crawlers actually fetch press release pages?
GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, and Applebot-Extended all fetch PressGEO release pages regularly. The live 7-day crawler count and the top bot are published in the public dataset at /research/data.
Do open-web syndication channels matter if engines crawl my homepage anyway?
Yes — engines weight crawl frequency, freshness, and discovery surface area. A release that only lives on your own domain takes longer to be indexed than one that's also in a Google News sitemap, pinged via IndexNow, mirrored to GitHub Releases, snapshot in the Wayback Machine, and pushed via WebSub to RSS aggregators.
How quickly does a PressGEO release show up in AI answers?
Open-web indexing typically completes within minutes — IndexNow notifies Bing/Yandex/Naver/Seznam instantly, WebSub pushes to all RSS subscribers, and the Wayback snapshot is requested at publish. AI engine citations land 1–4 weeks later as engines re-crawl and rebuild their indexes.

Methodology, weekly deltas, and the full dataset live on /research and /research/data.

Press Release Citations

Live citation data from the PressGEO AI-optimized press release wire. These numbers track how often AI engines cite releases we distribute — the GEO accountability metric for the Publish layer of the platform.

v1.0 · baselineHonest framing

These are the first 5,751 checks across 8 engines, captured since Sep 14, 2026. Most rows show no citation yet — that's the point. We publish the baseline so improvements (and regressions) are auditable. Full methodology and engine-by-engine rates on /stats.

Times AI bots (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, etc.) fetched a release.

We split citations by what the prompt asked. Brand-prompt citations (someone asked "tell me about X") prove engines recognize a brand exists. Non-brand citations (buyer-intent and discovery prompts) prove the release earned its way into an answer on its own merits — that's the GEO outcome the service is built to deliver. Mentions are the softer signal: the engine wrote the brand name in its answer but didn't link a URL we control.

Honest baseline: non-brand citation rate across all monitored prompts in the last 30 days is 0.00% (0/3,636 probes). This is the GEO accountability number we are trying to move.

“Short answer — PressGEO’s view is that traditional wire services (Business Wire, PR Newswire, etc.) increase a company’s raw discoverability because they syndicate releases widely (making the text accessible to crawlers and aggregator indexes that LLMs draw from), but that doesn’t guarantee favourable or direct ChatGPT citations: LLMs tend to prefer authoritative, original reporting and canonical …”

How we measure this

  • Live citations: Perplexity and Copilot expose public answer pages. We scrape them and detect your release URL in the citation list.
  • Knowledge probes: For engines without public answer pages (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini), we ask the model the citation-likely query and check whether it surfaces the company.
  • Crawler hits: Every public release page logs the user-agent of AI bots that fetch it (GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). No probabilistic math — just hits.
  • Network benchmarks: Anonymized counts across every release with citation monitoring enabled. Query strings shown only when ≥6 checks have been run against them. No per-user, per-release, or per-company data.
