iCrowdNewswireReviews of icrowdnewswire.com

We recently used iCrowdNewswire for a digital press release distribution campaign for a client. Our experience raised serious concerns about their service transparency and performance verification. Part of the agreement included banner ad placements on premium websites, but iCrowdNewswire failed to provide any verifiable live links. The screenshots they sent appeared digitally altered, and they repeatedly ignored our requests for access to their Google Ads account. Furthermore, the "coverage report" we received was a monitoring report, not a coverage report of their distribution. It included links from our own media relations efforts and was heavily padded with repeated outlets—one outlet was mentioned 29 times, artificially inflating the results. Given the apparent misrepresentation of brand partnerships and the misleading performance reports, we cannot recommend iCrowdNewswire. We urge other potential clients to be extremely cautious and to require verifiable proof of performance upfront.

If ZERO were an option.. Anyone ranking this company 5 stars may have had decent customer service up front, aLOT promised under pleasant terms but never seen the follow through. Zero stars would be more accurate from my side as a client. I had specific intentions of publishing a press release to their many seemingly credible advertised sites and asked specifically if this release would live on those sites after distribution. To which, they said yes. I repeatedly asked before and during engagement, as this was my only intention in paying for the service, to have Google index these releases over time. To which the representative continually replied YES. However, after the service is provided, and 'published' they were only viewable in their dashboard, and on thier website, without evidence of any publishing on any of their many promised partner sites. I emailed to ask for an explanation, went all the way up to their executive team, and they confirmed 'they cannot promise their partners will distribute the release.' Why then advertise them as credible partners and promise before and during service exactly what cannot be delivered!??

Press release packages are misleading and could get the same quality elsewhere for less than $100 per a press release. I would stay away and look into PR News Wire or Marketers Media instead.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Honestly, I am not one to write a bad review, but I was flat out lied to by Account Manager Gary Billy (who by the way begged me for a review, and went so far as to follow me on my personal social media to ask for one). I asked if my release in the Super Premium package of Release Live would be published on Wall St Journal, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, etc as it appeared on the site. He assured me it would. Turns out, that is false advertising as it appears to say "featured on" -- as this is nothing more than a banner ad on those sites for 1 week. Thats all that meant, and when I asked Gary to confirm, he lied to me. Furthermore I specifically asked for all communication and reporting to be sent to me, and after explicitly asking not to contact my client directly, he did anyway. I expect a refund as I lost a client due to Gary Billy's deceit and unprofessional conduct.

Guys, there are running a scam online. They offer you a 50% or sometimes even a 90% offer on their press release. But they never deliver anything to you, in the end, you lose your money.

BEWARE! This company is a scam!! This is the most unprofessional company I have ever worked with. The CEO called me on the phone and screamed at me and berated me. This company does not deliver what it says it will. They will take your money and use it to run ads for their own business. Yelling at your clients and berating them is the worst business practice I have ever encountered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

They are clueless.

Bad experience. iCrowdNewswire is NOT a partner or affiliated with Google in ANYWAY and myself and others can feel fall for the trap of thinking that there is any affiliation. BE CAREFUL
