Frequently Asked Questions

What small businesses ask before getting started

I've never done PR before — is this going to be complicated?

Not at all. The process is designed for business owners, not PR professionals. Here’s how simple it is:

  • Fill out a straightforward questionnaire about your business and your news
  • We turn your answers into a professional press release, a targeted media list, and ready-to-send outreach emails
  • You review, approve, and send — we guide you every step of the way

No PR experience needed. No agency required. Just your story and a few minutes of your time.

How is this different from just posting on social media?

Social media reaches the people who already know you. PR reaches people who have never heard of you. Here’s the difference:

  • • Social media = your existing audience
  • PR = new audiences through journalists, editors, and local outlets who reach thousands in your community
  • A feature in your local newspaper or news site carries a credibility no social post can match

The good news? PromptPR does both. Your press release goes to local media AND we create 4 social posts to amplify your moment at the same time.

Why would a journalist care about my business?

Local journalists are always looking for great community stories. What they don’t have time for is sifting through poorly written pitches. That’s where we come in.

  • A new business opening in the neighborhood is news
  • A local founder with a compelling backstory is news
  • A product or service that solves a real local problem is news

We craft your press release and outreach emails in the language journalists actually respond to — clear, compelling, and easy for them to say yes to.

What do I actually get for $850 and how fast?

One flat fee. No retainers. No surprises. Here’s exactly what’s included:

  • A 400-word professional press release — polished and media-ready
  • A targeted local media list — journalists and outlets matched to your market and industry
  • Custom outreach emails — written for each outlet on your list, ready for you to send
  • 4 social media posts — tailored to your brand and announcement

Turnaround: You’ll have everything in hand within 48 hours of submitting your brief.

For a one-time $850 you get everything you need — no ongoing costs, no commitments, just PR tools built around your moment.

What if I don't get any coverage — is there a guarantee?

Here’s the honest answer:

  • We guarantee the quality of your materials — a professional press release, the right media contacts, and compelling outreach emails written to get opened
  • We cannot guarantee every journalist will run your story — that’s ultimately their editorial decision
  • What we can guarantee is that your story gets a real, professional shot at coverage

Think of it this way — without a well-crafted pitch in the right hands, your chances of coverage are zero. With PromptPR, you’re putting your best foot forward with the same quality of materials that used to cost thousands through a traditional agency.

Most of our clients are surprised by how much response a well-written, well-targeted pitch actually gets.
