Question 1

How is MADIAD different from a traditional PR agency?

Accepted Answer

Traditional PR agencies focus on creative content and outlet-by-outlet relationships. MADIAD takes a different angle: distribution infrastructure. When you have a PR draft (or need us to co-write it), we push it through our 500+ outlet network across 165+ countries within 2–4 hours — at a speed and scale manual agencies cannot match. MADIAD is an integrator partner for AI-driven operations and global brand expansion, not a creative agency.

Question 2

How long after I send the draft does the release go live?

Accepted Answer

Once we receive the final draft and you confirm the distribution schedule, the release goes live within 2–4 hours. The review + approval step usually takes 24 hours before that. Typical timeline: brief → review + edits (24h) → schedule → live (2–4h).

Question 3

Which outlets in the network are most recognized?

Accepted Answer

The most recognized names include: Yahoo Finance, AP News, Reuters (via syndication), Bloomberg Terminal feed, MarketWatch, Benzinga, Morningstar, NASDAQ. This tier-1 group reaches investors, analysts, and global financial press — well suited to B2B announcements, fintech news, and any company building international credibility.

Question 4

How much does one distribution cost?

Accepted Answer

MADIAD publishes the full price list right on the Press Distribution page — from $300 for the online starter tier up to $3,652 for the North America premium tier. An Enterprise global tier (custom quote) is available for large-scale announcements. Each tier lists tier-1 outlets, estimated pickups, region coverage, and lead time. Press release writing is an optional add-on at $150–$400 depending on length. Send a brief to info@madiad.com and we will recommend the right tier within 24h.

Question 5

What is the full process from draft to coverage report?

Accepted Answer

Four steps: (1) You send the draft + brief (target region, industry, timing) to info@madiad.com or via chatbot; (2) MADIAD reviews within 24h — quality check, minor edit suggestions if needed, plus a quote; (3) Schedule and distribute — release goes live within 2–4h after schedule confirmation; (4) Coverage report within 48h of going live — outlet list, per-article links, estimated reach.

Question 6

How are MADIAD backlinks different from PBN or cheap fiverr links?

Accepted Answer

PBN (Private Blog Network) is a network of fake sites built by an agency — when Google detects it, your domain gets penalized. Cheap fiverr links are usually sidebar/footer links on junk sites that pass no authority. MADIAD pitches editors directly at DR70+ outlets like Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, Forbes — links sit inside the article body, contextual to your industry, do-follow, permanent. More expensive but sustainable — no Google penalty because this is genuine editorial coverage.

Question 7

Does MADIAD write the PR draft, or do I have to send one?

Accepted Answer

Both. If you have a draft, MADIAD reviews it and suggests minor edits to optimize pickup. If you need a writer, we offer press release writing — email info@madiad.com with a brief and we will scope it.

Question 8

Which 500+ outlets are in the network?

Accepted Answer

The network is grouped as: Financial Wires (Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, Benzinga, Morningstar...), Top-Tier News (AP News, Reuters syndication), Regional Networks (US national, Europe, APAC, LATAM), Industry Verticals (tech, healthcare, finance, lifestyle...). The full 500+ list is shown in the Outlet directory section of the Press Distribution page — grouped by region and category. Each release receives a specific outlet list in the coverage report.

Question 9

Will my release actually appear on Reuters / Bloomberg / AP?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through two mechanisms: (1) Direct distribution — your release is published directly on certain outlets in MADIAD's partner network; (2) Syndication — major outlets like AP News, MarketWatch, and Yahoo Finance pull from wire partners. Every release has verifiable links in the coverage report. Note: we do not guarantee any single "special" outlet will pick up — that is how journalism works, and no honest service can promise it without paid placement.

Question 10

Does MADIAD guarantee pickup count or view count?

Accepted Answer

We commit to: (1) distribution through the agreed network scope; (2) a detailed coverage report with verification links; (3) the 2–4h timeline. We do not promise individual pickups or specific view counts — those depend on content quality, newsworthiness, and market response. Anyone promising "guaranteed X pickups" in PR distribution is trading honesty for sales.

Question 11

What report do I receive after distribution?

Accepted Answer

The standard coverage report includes: (1) list of outlets that ran the article with direct hyperlinks; (2) screenshot proof from tier-1 outlets; (3) estimated total and per-region audience reach; (4) backlink summary (DoFollow / NoFollow counts); (5) sample social mentions if picked up by secondary channels. Delivered as a PDF plus Notion page link for long-term reference.

Question 12

Which industries are not a good fit for a press campaign?

Accepted Answer

Top-tier outlets typically avoid sensitive verticals: gambling, adult, weapons, non-US-prescription pharma. MADIAD also turns down domains with toxic backlink history or active Google manual actions. Best fits: SaaS, fintech, AI, e-commerce, B2B services, healthtech, edutech, sustainability — verticals industry outlets actively want to cover.

Question 13

Which regions does distribution cover most strongly?

Accepted Answer

Strongest in North America (broadest US national coverage), followed by Europe (especially UK, Germany, France), APAC (Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia), and LATAM (Brazil, Mexico). Total coverage spans 165+ countries. Your brief can request a regional focus — we will select the appropriate network subset.

Question 14

Are there outlets for specific industries (tech, finance, healthcare...)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The network includes trade publications and verticals: tech (TechCrunch syndication, VentureBeat partners), finance (Benzinga, MarketWatch, financial wires), healthcare (BioSpace, MedCity News), lifestyle, energy, manufacturing. Each vertical has 20–50+ specialist outlets. Specify the industry in your brief so we can curate the optimal list.

Question 15

Does the release stay published on outlets permanently?

Accepted Answer

Most outlets retain releases indefinitely as an archive. Some tier-1 outlets have a 1–3 year archive policy. The release URL is verified at report time and is typically stable for years. If an outlet removes a piece (very rare), we record it in the report and suggest re-distribution if needed.

Question 16

Are backlinks DoFollow for SEO?

Accepted Answer

A mix of DoFollow + NoFollow depending on outlet policy. Most financial wires and trade publications give DoFollow. Some tier-1 news outlets use NoFollow per industry standard. The coverage report clearly marks DoFollow/NoFollow per outlet. If the primary goal is SEO authority, we recommend a distribution mix optimized for DoFollow ratio.
