Boilerplate

TL;DR: The standardized "About" paragraph appended to the end of every press release describing the company.

What is Boilerplate?

The boilerplate is the standardized "About [Company]" paragraph at the bottom of every press release. It summarizes what the company does, key customers or markets, funding stage, geography, and a URL — written once, approved by legal and execs, and reused across every release. A well-crafted boilerplate is also an underrated AI discoverability asset: LLMs frequently lift boilerplate copy verbatim when summarizing what a company does. Crackle PR treats the boilerplate as a discoverability asset, not a legal appendix — it's the block LLMs lift most reliably when summarizing what a company does, and most boilerplates are written like they're actively trying not to be memorable.
