There's  such a thing as free PR

Where to get published for free

You don’t need a big budget—or even a journalist’s contact—to get your story out there. There are plenty of free press release sites online where you can upload your news and an image at no cost. While these platforms don’t attract huge audiences, they’re great for boosting your SEO and adding credibility to your brand.

Here are a few good ones to try:

London Daily News – A broad news site with a dedicated lifestyle section, perfect for property-related stories. You can include backlinks to your own site and add images. It’s free to use, but your release needs to be genuinely newsworthy to meet their editorial standards. The site’s Domain Authority (DA) is 57—for comparison, YouTube scores 100, House & Garden 71, and Architectural Digest 87. You can check your own site’s DA here.

NewsByWire – A free distribution service that posts and shares your press releases. Like similar platforms, it won’t accept overly promotional or ad-like content. Its DA is 38.

PRFree – Another free option, although it only includes a backlink to your site if you pay for an upgrade. Its DA is 56.

These platforms aren’t a replacement for a full PR campaign, but they’re handy for small updates or announcements that might not grab a journalist’s attention.
