JackRussellDigitalQ: Are you covering ex Yugoslav countries and other Eastern European Countries? Price for publishing?
Hello,
I am in Marketing Communications for more than 25 years and I know the value of PR, also I know that journalists, or better say editors, are not so eager to post articles for free so here are my couple of questions:
1. Are you covering ex Yugoslav countries (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia, North Macedonia) and other Eastern European Countries?
2. How likely are journalists, so far in your experience overlooking the platform, eager to publish the press release from smaller companies, especially in some of the regions like Eastern Europe?
3. Is there any kind of warranty i.e. that at least xy number of articles will be published annually?
Would really like this platform to work for our business and our clients businesses, just gathering info about it...
Thx, great idea for the app 😎

Jun 10, 2025A: Great questions - let me break this down:
1. Eastern European Coverage:
Yes totally! We have global coverage including the ex-Yugoslav countries you mentioned (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia, North Macedonia) plus other Eastern European markets. Our database covers 500k+ journalists worldwide and we're constantly expanding our international coverage through AI updates and manual curation.
Here's the latest counts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p6xGzFgh1bzPqNfW0oXZ25OEOl30LMlRrR47nO4leCk/edit?gid=585653691#gid=585653691
2. Publication Likelihood:
Press Ranger doesn't actually publish articles or guarantee coverage unless you're using Wholesale press release distribution (which does have guarantees). We're a database and outreach tool that helps you find the right journalists and craft pitches, but the actual relationship-building and story value is still up to you. We can't make promises that your story will be covered as we don't know your story :-)
What we've seen work best is:
- Targeting very specific, relevant journalists (not mass blasting)
- Leading with genuine news value or unique angles
- Building relationships over time rather than one-off pitches
3. Publication Guarantees:
We don't offer publication guarantees because that's not how real PR works (as you know!). Anyone promising guaranteed coverage is usually running pay-to-play schemes that hurt your brand credibility.
What we DO guarantee is access to quality, updated journalist contacts and tools to help you pitch more effectively.
