Question 1

Is the press release grader free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is free, requires no account and no email address, and has no usage limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so the text you paste is never transmitted to a server, never stored, and never seen by anyone.

Question 2

What does the grader check?

Accepted Answer

Nine structural checks: whether the opening paragraph stands alone without the headline, whether claims are verifiable, whether a named spokesperson is quoted, whether dates are specific rather than vague, whether contact information is present, whether length is appropriate, whether superlatives and hype are controlled, whether the release is broken into sections, and whether it contains enough concrete facts.

Question 3

Does a good grade mean my press release will rank or be cited?

Accepted Answer

No. The grader checks structure, not outcomes. A well-structured release is easier for search engines and AI systems to interpret and cite, but no tool, service or wire can guarantee that any search engine will index a release or that any AI system will cite it.
