Frequently asked questions
Quickly find answers to the most important questions about publishing, your account and your newsroom.
Getting started
How do I publish my first press release?
Register in the central publisher area (pressekonto), create your company profile and write your release in the editor — with text, images, attachments and a press contact. After submission it goes through our content review and is then published on presseecho.de and businessportal24.com.
Who is this service for?
Exclusively for companies, self-employed professionals and agencies. Publication always happens via a company profile — it is not a service for consumers.
Do I need to register to read press releases?
No, all published press releases are freely accessible. Registration is only required if you want to publish yourself.
How long does it take for my press release to go live?
On business days the content review is usually completed the same day. Once approved, the release goes online immediately — or automatically at your scheduled date.
Account & billing
How do I change my plan?
In your account under "Bookings & add-ons" you can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, downgrades at the next billing period.
Which payment methods are accepted?
Billing runs securely via Stripe — for example by credit card or SEPA direct debit. Existing customers with an ongoing agreement continue to pay by invoice.
Can I cancel my plan?
Yes. Monthly plans renew monthly and can be cancelled monthly; annual plans renew for twelve months at a time and can be cancelled at the end of the term. You can cancel directly in your account or, without signing in, via the cancellation page.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, at any time in your account settings. Press releases already published remain online in the archive but are no longer linked to your account.
Press releases & content
Which file formats are supported?
Images: JPG, PNG, WebP (max. 16 MB in the editor; max. 8 MB via the API). Attachments: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ZIP and TXT (max. 25 MB per file).
Can I correct a press release after publication?
Yes — we correct instead of deleting: the URL of your release is preserved, references and links keep working. Contact our support with your correction requests.
How do I optimise my press release for SEO?
Use meaningful headlines, integrate relevant keywords naturally, add image titles and structure the text with subheadings.
What happens if a release is rejected?
You receive the rejection with a reason and can revise and resubmit the release. A rejected release does not use up any quota.
Newsroom & features
What is a newsroom?
Your company page on both portals, bundling all your press releases — with logo, short profile and press contacts.
Which statistics do I see?
The views of each release across both portals, directly in your account. The figures are updated continuously.
Is there an API?
Yes — a token-based REST API for submitting releases, checking statuses and uploading images. Details are on the API page; you create your tokens directly in your account once an active booking exists.
