Also a price list of 66 named outlets, 17 agent recipes, and fixes to agent search and the country pages.
New
Getting press: 6 guides
How to get press coverage, get featured in a magazine or a newspaper, email a press release to journalists, what a PR agency costs, and how press placements build backlinks within Google’s rules.
Reuters, Google News, Apple News, MSN, Forbes contributors, Entrepreneur, Benzinga and Hindustan Times: the routes each outlet documents, what each costs, and our listing where one exists.
Can you buy coverage in Forbes? 66 named outlets, priced
Every outlet buyers name, sold or not: the cheapest listing, the price range, turnaround, link policy and label, and the route that works when we do not sell it.
Guides for personal information, home addresses, phone numbers, photos and public records, and for removing a search result from Google, with every official route and timeline.
What 12 platforms remove and how to report, with guides for Glassdoor, Amazon seller feedback, eBay and Yelp business pages. Our paid service covers Google reviews only; every platform decides its own.
Facebook hacked or disabled, a deleted Instagram account, and banned WhatsApp, TikTok and Telegram accounts, each with the platform’s own appeal route and the scams to avoid.
A map of 10 platforms, then guides for Instagram business accounts, Facebook, TikTok, the WhatsApp Business green tick and IMDb, from each platform’s own rules.
Wikipedia for companies, and fixing a page about you
Wikipedia’s company rule source by source, who may write the page, review times, and how to ask for a correction without breaking the conflict of interest rules.
SaaS, startups, small businesses, real estate, hotels and restaurants, music, books and nonprofits, each with real budget baskets priced from our catalog and a 90-day plan.
What OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, Anthropic and Microsoft document about the crawlers and indexes their assistants read, and how to measure it for free.
Real buyer tasks with the real MCP calls and responses, from a press release on Yahoo Finance to local news in Texas, review bombing, a Knowledge Panel and a hacked Instagram account. Each is also an MCP prompt.
The translated press guides now list the leading outlets of each market with their prices: Italy, Spain, Mexico, France, Germany, Brazil, Poland and the UAE.
Outlet search forgives spacing, takes a language code or a US state code, matches a city in the outlet name, finds every outlet within a turnaround, and states each turnaround as a window a buyer can picture.
A few pages called paid placements earned editorial, and the Amazon and Yelp review guides suggested we remove reviews on those platforms. They now say what is true.
AI agents can now diagnose a case for free and price every service, outlet pages show articles we already published there, every service page answers the questions people ask before paying, and the buying guides were rebuilt around a free tool each.
New
Live examples on outlet pages
Outlet pages now show up to 3 articles Essentras already placed on that outlet, opened on the outlet’s own site. Client names are left out on purpose.
Every outlet page now has the 3 steps, the price with the volume discount, the turnaround, the link policy, how the article is labeled and whether Google indexes it, in 1 table.
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and Windsurf each have a page with the exact MCP config, example prompts, workflows and troubleshooting, checked against the vendor’s own documentation.
The MCP server and the REST API now list every service with its price, refund terms and who decides, and hand the buyer the page to pay. Search also filters by turnaround, state and city.
An agent connected to our MCP server or REST API can check whether a Google review breaks a policy, how ready a name is for a Knowledge Panel, whether a subject meets Wikipedia notability, the lawful route to remove a result from Google, and the official Instagram recovery path. Inputs are fixed choices, never a name, email or link, and each answer quotes the matching service at its current price.
An itemized cost estimator with no email gate, the contract terms that change the real price, and separate guides for pushing down negative results and for executives.
14 services scored on a 100-point rubric with the evidence for each score, shown under 4 different weightings, plus a cost calculator built only from published rates.
ChatGPT answers in the AI check now come from GPT-6 Luna, the model ChatGPT serves on its Free and Go plans. An answer that times out is retried on its own, and every source shows the website it came from.
54 alternatives pages, 62 head-to-heads, 27 switching guides, 7 rankings and a placement cost calculator, with a source link next to the competitor facts.
