Why we built PitchBud PitchBud PR IntakeWrite the release
Clarify the angle, add proof, quote a real person, and keep the release readable enough for customers and reporters.
Pitch the right reporter
Match the story to journalists, newsletters, podcasts, and niche publishers who already cover the beat.
Distribute without the wire
Use a public newsroom, schema, RSS, IndexNow, WebSub, Google discovery, and follow-up outreach instead of vanity pickup counts.
How to use these guides
Start with the job you are trying to finish, not the tool screen you are on. If you need a launch page, read the release-writing guides first. If you already have a release but no coverage, move to journalist targeting and pitch personalization. If you have a published release and want it discovered, focus on newsroom structure, RSS, schema, and distribution signals.
Each guide is meant to give you a concrete next action: a better headline, a cleaner quote, a sharper reporter list, a stronger email subject line, or a public URL you can confidently send to someone who may cover your story.
Common PitchBud workflows
- Draft a release from a one-line angle, then tighten the headline and quote.

- Build a journalist list based on beat fit, outlet relevance, and recent bylines.
- Send personalized pitches from your own inbox and track replies separately from vanity pickup counts.
