If your startup is targeting influencers at blogs, why do you have pictures of Michael Arrington at TechCrunch and Arianna Huffington at Huffington Post, both of which have had nothing to do with their respective blogs for some time?<p>I also found it suspicious that you have reference to &quot;as featured in&quot; but it&#x27;s an image and not a link, so I did a little digging. For your <i>The Next Web</i> feature, all Publicize has is participation in a pitching contest (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;voice&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;14&#x2F;all-75-startups-that-will-pitch-on-stage-at-tnw-conference-the-votes-are-in&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;voice&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;14&#x2F;all-75-startups-that-...</a>) and an guest posts written by the CEO (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;entrepreneur&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;22&#x2F;tech-reporter-will-create-next-great-startup&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;entrepreneur&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;22&#x2F;tech-reporter-...</a> and <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;entrepreneur&#x2F;2014&#x2F;12&#x2F;13&#x2F;5-common-mistakes-guaranteed-screw-pr-strategy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;entrepreneur&#x2F;2014&#x2F;12&#x2F;13&#x2F;5-common-mista...</a>). Neither would count as a feature.<p>Additionally, why do you have a Y Combinator logo under &quot;our successes?&quot; Having success with batch companies is a bit different than having success with the parent entity.

Here&#x27;s what the page looked like before I had any chance to read what is the service.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;g7dLXCZ.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;g7dLXCZ.png</a><p>0&#x2F;10

Hi, I wrote a guide just a week ago that may have quite a bit of relevant information for your target customer - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.craigkerstiens.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;21&#x2F;An-intro-PR-guide-for-startups&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.craigkerstiens.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;21&#x2F;An-intro-PR-guide-f...</a>.<p>I love that there&#x27;s a few people starting to innovate in this space, but I&#x27;m having a pretty hard time from the outside getting an idea of what your product actually is. Are you strictly focused on outreach to outlets, or is there more to it. Is it even a product, or how are you different from other PR firms? Would love to be able to get more clarity on that without having to create an account.

Don&#x27;t worry about being rough around the edges (and the problems other posters are criticizing here). All those minor things are easily fixable and they don&#x27;t take away anything from the value you provide :) Congrats!

You&#x27;ve got a weird issue with your text&#x2F;register button:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;zbhpFY3" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;zbhpFY3</a><p>(FF 39 on a MBP)

If I were you, I&#x27;d show off the gem that is your pricing system on the front page. There are a lot of PR firms; show right away what makes yours different.<p>Couch it in friendly language, like: &quot;We&#x27;d love to help you X! For $400 a month, we&#x27;ll Y to help you get there--or check out our other pricing plans [here].&quot;<p>When people see &quot;Sign up for free!&quot; on a web site, they&#x27;re used to having it mean, &quot;Give us your email and we&#x27;ll send you a ton of ads for free until you hit unsubscribe!&quot; So, not a great tactic. Being up-front with your deal in that space instead will make you seem a lot more legitimate.<p>I&#x27;m a pretty good writer. If you don&#x27;t mind, I&#x27;d like to give a little free nitpicking--er, editing advice about your front page.<p>&gt;&quot;Publicize is a next-generation PR company.<p>&gt;&quot;We help leading technology startups grow faster.&quot;<p>&quot;Next-generation&quot; is a pretty meaningless phrase. It may have been meaningful at one point and I can see where you&#x27;re getting it, but it&#x27;s become an overused buzzword. Avoid. Plus, you&#x27;re using two sentences to say not very much. It&#x27;s just clutter.<p>How about: &quot;Publicize is a PR company tailored to the needs of lean, fast-growing technology startups. Here are some of the services we offer:&quot; and then list your services so it doesn&#x27;t seem like they&#x27;re just randomly stuck there.<p>&gt;&quot;I had a great time working with publicize&quot;<p>Did you mean to capitalize &quot;Publicize&quot;? From what I can see, it&#x27;s not one of those always-lowercase names. Be careful about how you represent the writing on your web site, especially if you&#x27;re offering a service that manages press releases! Capitalizing your company name is like fixing a spelling error; it doesn&#x27;t invalidate the quote as long as you&#x27;re not intentionally trying to warp what he said.<p>Greg Laughlin&#x27;s review sounds genuine and earnest, but it has a problem: its sentence structure doesn&#x27;t quite flow. I suggest basically keeping it how it is to preserve the quote, but maybe make Alan Grant&#x27;s review the one that shows by default instead. It has a more professional feel, better punctuation, and better flow.<p>Just suggestions! It looks like you&#x27;ve gotten a lot of good feedback already on this, but a little bit of polish on the writing on your site would really make it shine. When you&#x27;re a PR firm, you have to really make sure your own marketing is stellar. If you can&#x27;t market yourself really well, customers will assume you won&#x27;t do any better for them.

So many basic webdev mistakes here, that you all are fixing on the fly here, wonder how solid the service will be.

I love how startup-friendly this product is. Instead of having to give a $5,000-$10,000 retainer to traditional firms, it&#x27;s just a few hundred dollars a month. I definitely plan to use these guys in the coming months for my new startup in SF.
