What is Press Ranger?
Press Ranger is an all-in-one suite that lets anyone run PR campaigns. PR software has been artificially expensive for decades, which meant only businesses that could afford big-ticket PR agencies got meaningful coverage. That’s not fair. Press Ranger fixes that.
At a glance, we offer:
- Affordable, enterprise-grade PR software — no salespeople, no annual contracts.
- Four core media databases:
- Journalist Database – discover journalists by beat, outlet, and recency.
- Publisher Database – search outlets across industries.
- Podcast Database – find hosts and shows aligned with your expertise.
- Article Database – see what’s actually being written in your niche.
- HARO-style aggregated pitch requests – we pull from multiple channels and only notify you when journalists are writing about relevant topics and actively need a source. Consider all of these as potential inbound opportunities for you to get press coverage.
This is less relevant for O-1 Visas, but Press Ranger also offers:
- Wholesale press release distribution – guaranteed coverage in Business Insider, Market Watch, Yahoo Finance, AP News, Bloomberg Terminals, Dow Jones Terminals, and hundreds more. Priced for agencies, but available to anyone.
- AIWire – unique to Press Ranger, this ensures every press release is indexed by AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, etc.). This is the only way to guarantee your content is visible to AI systems — fueling SEO-like discoverability in the age of AI.
In short: Press Ranger democratizes PR. Every business (or individual) can now tell their story, get coverage, and rank higher in both media and AI search.
Why This Matters for O-1 Visa Applicants
The O-1 visa requires demonstrating extraordinary ability and ‘media coverage’ is of the strongest ways to demonstrate this. Press coverage validates your expertise, achievements, and influence in your field.
Press Ranger enables you to:
- Find journalists and outlets who cover your niche.
- Send targeted outreach to the right targets
- Keep track of outreach efforts via Press Ranger’s native CRM.
- Build a dossier of evidence that immigration attorneys can use in your petition.
