Wire Service

TL;DR: Paid distribution networks (Business Wire, PR Newswire) that syndicate releases to thousands of sites.

What is Wire Service?

A wire service (Business Wire, PR Newswire, GlobeNewswire) is a paid distribution network that syndicates press releases to thousands of news sites, indexes, and databases. Wires don't earn coverage on their own but provide distribution, archival, and the verified source URLs that AI systems and journalists can reference. Crackle PR uses wire distribution (typically Business Wire or GlobeNewswire) as a source-URL and archival layer — not as an earned-media strategy — because the wire's real GEO value is giving reporters and LLMs a verified canonical URL to point to.
