Every fact on this page names its source and the date it was checked. Where a claim cannot be supported, it does not appear.
Business Wire at businesswire.com sells press release distribution for a single announcement or an ongoing plan. Its published base covers 400 words, unlimited hyperlinks, a linked logo, rich text, financial tables, editorial review, release analytics and stated round-the-clock support, with geography, industry and investor audiences guiding where each release goes.
It suits communications teams that want a defined wire workflow: consultative targeting, multimedia and translation options, investor-disclosure support, and NewsTrak reporting with release views, link clicks, hosting-site detail, report history and downloadable reports. Syndicated copies are distribution output, not independently earned coverage.
No public price or billed total is published, so buyers should get a written quote naming the circuit, word count and additions. Payment, cancellation, correction and refund terms live in the separately signed service agreement, not the website terms. The operator is Business Wire Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company; a particular contract may be with a subsidiary.

Business Wire scored 60.3 of 100 under M1.3. The scoring run date is 5 September 2026. Evidence was admitted through 2026-09-05. This page shows 8 sources.
Business Wire sells press release distribution for a single announcement or an ongoing plan, with geography, industry and investor audiences guiding where each release goes. Editorial review is included, and the published base covers 400 words, unlimited hyperlinks, a linked logo, financial tables and release analytics, with support stated as available around the clock. NewsTrak reporting adds release views, link clicks, hosting-site detail, report history and downloadable reports, so a communications team can inspect each release in several ways.
Get a written quote that names the distribution circuit, the word count and any multimedia or translation additions, because no public price or billed total is published. The separately signed service agreement has to supply the rest: payment timing, cancellation, correction and refund terms, plus the release deadline and who approves the final proof. Treat distribution footprint and potential audience as separate from actual readership, earned coverage and business results, which the published materials do not establish.

How the position is calculated: on each eligible ranking, rated providers are ordered by Service Fit Score only. That order is converted to a 0–100 value, and the values are averaged equally across the company's appearances. Rankings that do not include the company are omitted from the average.
Equal Service Fit Scores share the average of the positions they cover. A gap under 0.5 points is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical order, no hidden tie-breaker.
Each fact below comes from a primary source, such as the company's own pages or a public register, and was checked on 2026-09-05.

In the company's terms
No public price, billing currency, tax treatment or order total is published, so none is stated here; request a written quote. Scope depends on words, circuit and enhancements. The website Terms of Use, effective 1 January 2024, send submissions to separately signed Terms and Conditions, so payment, cancellation, correction and refund provisions must be confirmed in that agreement.

Reporting
NewsTrak reporting covers release views, link clicks, social and media interaction, hosting sites with source, location and language detail, time windows, release history, report comparisons and PDF/Excel downloads. Release interactions and host-site potential audience are separate measures; neither establishes earned coverage, ranking gains or business results.
