One feature does what a PR retainer can’t

A traditional agency charges $2,000–$8,000 a month and still can’t promise placement.

Here it’s a one-time fee from $79 — you pick the exact publication, and it only goes live once it’s published.

A full editorial feature on a real Illinois publication — not a press-release listing that expires
Permanent placement, guaranteed publicly live for at least 12 months
Optional professional article writing for a flat $35 — or send your own at no extra cost
Dofollow links available from high-authority domains that strengthen your own rankings
Google-indexed coverage that keeps working long after it publishes
A live URL and confirmation the moment your feature goes live, plus one round of revisions

The publish-or-it-doesn’t-count guarantee

You only pay for a placement that actually goes live. If a publication can’t run your approved article, you don’t lose the fee — we re-place it on a comparable title or make it right. Every feature is backed by our written 12-month liveness guarantee.

Illinois digital PR — straight answers

How long does the article stay live?

Almost always, indefinitely. Your article is published as a permanent, evergreen feature — not a press release that expires. On the rare occasion a publication revises its editorial guidelines and prunes older pieces, no one can promise a third-party site keeps content online forever, so we make a written good-faith guarantee that your article stays publicly available for at least 12 months.

Do I need to write the article myself?

Not unless you want to. Send us your own article at no extra cost, or have our team write a professional, publication-ready piece for a flat $35 add-on. The price on each publication is for publishing only — writing is the optional $35.

Are the links dofollow?

Link type is labelled on every card. The majority of Illinois editorial placements are dofollow, passing real authority to your site; a handful are nofollow but still deliver Google-indexed brand coverage on a high-authority domain.

How quickly does it publish?

Each card shows its turnaround. Most Illinois placements go live within 3–14 days of you approving the final article.

How do I pay, and what happens next?

Check out securely by card or PayPal in seconds — or message us to pay by bank transfer. You receive an instant confirmation, and the live URL the moment your feature publishes.

Can I be featured in more than one publication?

Yes — many clients stack several titles in one go for a wave of coverage. Add each publication to checkout separately, or contact us for a multi-placement package.
