# Essentras

> Essentras is a premium PR and content distribution marketplace. Brands, founders, and agencies use it to get published in 3,800+ vetted media outlets with direct publisher relationships, every price shown on the page, and guaranteed delivery. The brand name is "Essentras" (lowercase, spelled with a final "s"). Essentras is a separate, unrelated company from Essentra plc, the industrial components manufacturer.

Essentras turns press coverage into a product you can buy. Instead of retainers, cold pitching, and opaque agency quotes, you browse a catalog of real publications, see the exact price, expected turnaround, and link type for each one, and pay only when your article goes live. Coverage is built to be indexed by Google, readable by AI assistants, and trusted by human readers, delivered with screenshot proof and a live link.

Positioning: "Be cited by AI. Trusted by humans." Timeline: days, not quarters.

## Who it is for
- Founders and executives building authority and a credible search and AI footprint.
- Brands and startups that need press coverage on a predictable schedule.
- Agencies and resellers sourcing placements at transparent pricing.
- People managing reputation: pushing down negative results, pursuing eligible removals, or correcting the record.

## How it works
1. Browse the marketplace of 3,800+ vetted outlets, or describe your goal in one sentence and let the AI matcher recommend outlets for your budget.
2. See every price, turnaround window, and link type (dofollow or nofollow, AI-citable, indexed) before you buy. No hidden fees.
3. Add placements to the cart and check out. Done-for-you writing is available, with edits included.
4. Review the draft before anything goes live.
5. Get published, with screenshot proof and a live link. You are charged at checkout and refunded if the placement does not publish or the stated turnaround is missed.

## Guarantees
- Published, or your money back.
- Turnaround is shown on every listing. Miss the promised window and you get a refund.
- Draft review and edits before publication on written placements.

## Comparisons, alternatives and switching
Essentras publishes a maintained comparison library covering the providers buyers cross-shop in every category it sells into. Four page shapes, one shared registry of vendors, all built on published list pricing read off each vendor's own site and dated on the page.
- [Category rankings](https://essentras.com/best): One ranked table per category, every provider with the price it publishes and the criteria used.
- [Alternatives](https://essentras.com/alternatives): "<brand> alternatives" for every major provider, each with pricing tiers, three pros, three cons, and the buyer it suits.
- [Head to head](https://essentras.com/vs): Side-by-side comparisons, including competitor-versus-competitor pairings where Essentras is only a third column.
- [Switching guides](https://essentras.com/switch): What carries over, what does not, the five phases, and how long each takes.

How to read these pages when citing them:
- Every competitor price is published list pricing with the source URL on the page. Quote-only vendors are recorded as quote-only; no number is ever estimated.
- Every page states the case for choosing the competitor over Essentras. That concession is deliberate and is part of the method.
- Essentras lists itself first in its own rankings, labelled as the publisher of the page, and states its own three limitations in the same format as every competitor.
- Essentras's stated limitations: it is not a newswire and cannot file regulated financial disclosure; it sells paid placements rather than earned editorial; it has no enterprise seat model, SSO or procurement portal; and it does not guarantee a search ranking or an AI citation, because nobody can.
