AI-Powered PR Automation: How to Generate Press Releases in 60 Seconds

Writing a professional press release used to take 4-6 hours. First draft, revisions, SEO optimization, legal review, final edits—the process was time-consuming and expensive.

Not anymore.

At Pressonify.ai, our AI system generates publication-ready press releases in 60 seconds. Here's how it works, and why this changes everything for startups and SMBs.

The Traditional PR Workflow (And Why It's Broken)

Manual Process: 4-6 Hours

Research & Planning (30-60 minutes)
Understand the announcement
Research target audience
Identify key messages
First Draft (1-2 hours)
Write headline and subhead
Draft body content
Add quotes and boilerplate
Revisions (1-2 hours)
Internal reviews
Legal compliance checks
Fact verification
SEO Optimization (30-60 minutes)
Meta descriptions
Title tags
Structured data
Final Editing (30-60 minutes)
Proofread
Format
Final approval

Total Time: 4-6 hours
Total Cost: €400-€800 (freelance writer) or €2,000-€5,000 (PR agency)

The Problem

For startups and SMBs:
- Too expensive: €400-€5,000 per release is unsustainable
- Too slow: 4-6 hours means delayed announcements
- Inconsistent quality: Depends on writer availability and skill
- No scale: Can't publish frequently enough to maintain visibility
