Once your press release is submitted and payment is confirmed, publication typically happens within a few hours, but exact timing depends on several factors:
Standard Turnaround Times:
Typical turnaround: 2–6 hours
During high volume periods: Up to 12–24 hours
For scheduled releases: Will go live at your selected time (or as close as possible)
What Affects Publication Speed?
Time of day submitted: PRs submitted during regular business hours (EST) are typically published faster.
Content review: Some publishers manually review content. If your release contains sensitive topics, it may require extra review time.
Network size: If you selected a large distribution package with many publishers, it may take longer for the full syndication to complete — though most key placements happen early.
