What the HERE City Network Offers

The HERE City Network is one of the largest locally focused digital news operations in the United States. We publish original news, business coverage, and community content in 89 cities across 31 states and Washington DC.

Our press services give businesses, PR firms, and organizations two ways to reach local audiences through trusted editorial channels:

Press Release Distribution — Your press release is published as a permanent article on the HERE City site in each market you select. Every placement includes full SEO optimization, schema markup, and indexing by Google and AI search platforms. This is not a temporary wire blast. Your article stays live permanently and continues to build search authority over time.

Interview Features — A dedicated feature article built around a one-on-one interview with your client or executive. Published with the same permanent placement and SEO treatment as our press releases, but with a narrative editorial format that builds deeper credibility and engagement.

Every placement goes through our editorial workflow and is published under the HERE City brand in each local market. This is not syndication through a third-party aggregator. Your content appears on real local news sites with real local audiences.

Publication — Not a Temporary Wire Blast

Traditional wire services distribute press releases through syndication feeds that disappear within days. Most never get indexed by Google. Almost none appear in AI search results like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.

The HERE City Network publishes your content as permanent, locally optimized articles with structured data markup that AI platforms and search engines actively surface. Your placement builds authority over time instead of vanishing after a news cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HERE City Network?

The HERE City Network is a digital news operation that publishes local news, business coverage, and community content across 89 publications in 31 states and Washington DC. Each site covers a specific city or metro area with original reporting and locally relevant content.

How is this different from a traditional wire service?

Traditional wire services like PR Newswire and Business Wire distribute press releases through syndication feeds. Most placements disappear within days and are rarely indexed by Google or surfaced by AI search tools. The HERE City Network publishes your content as a permanent article on a real local news site with full SEO optimization and structured data markup. Your article stays live indefinitely and builds search authority over time.

Will my press release show up in AI search results?

Yes. Every article published through the HERE City Network includes structured data and schema markup that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews use to surface content. Traditional wire placements typically lack this markup and are rarely included in AI-generated search results.

How long does my article stay published?

Permanently. Unlike wire services that remove content after a set period, articles published on HERE City sites remain live indefinitely. This means your content continues to generate search visibility and build authority long after publication.

What is an interview feature?

An interview feature is a narrative article built around a one-on-one interview with your client or executive. It is published with the same permanent placement and SEO treatment as a standard press release but provides a deeper editorial format that builds credibility and engagement with local audiences.

How do I submit a press release?

Email your press release or interview request to ClientServices@HEREcity.com. Include the markets you want to target and any relevant supporting materials. Our team will handle formatting, SEO optimization, and publication across your selected cities.

Can I choose which cities my press release appears in?

Yes. You select the specific markets from our network of 89 cities. Whether you need coverage in one city or across all 31 states, you choose the markets that match your audience and business goals.

What does the Annual Membership include?

The Annual Membership provides priority access to the network, volume pricing on press releases and interview features, and dedicated support from our client services team. It is designed for PR firms and organizations that need ongoing placement across multiple markets throughout the year.
