PressDrop

Hi guys, I'm Jack! 👋

I’ve been thinking about PR and AEO a lot lately.

At my day job at a small startup, we’ve used press releases a few times and I’ve seen them actually get picked up by news sites and the articles cited by chatbots.

So I started wondering:

why are indie hackers not doing this?

If you’re a solo founder who just spent 3 months building a SaaS (or 5 hours lol), paying $1k–$5k for PR doesn’t really make sense.

Hence PressDrop.

You give it your launch/news → get a press release → it distributes it to 300+ news feeds.

I’m also really interested in the SEO/AEO side of this.

More places mentioning your company = more chances to get discovered in Google and referenced by AI search/answer engines and from my experience AEO (chatbots) reaally love news articles.

I want to make this stupidly simple and accessible.

Not $2,000.

Not a PR retainer of $10,000.

$49.

First 5 founders get it for $49, next 5 for $79, regular price is $199.

It’s super early and I’m basically trying to find out if this is actually something founders would like - the first packages are sold on negative margin. 😅

So if you’re an indie hacker:

have you ever paid for PR?

did it work?

and would you pay $49 to give your launch a shot at getting picked up?

Would love to hear what you guys think 🫶
