📌 Overview
Customers often ask three things about press releases in Search Atlas: what a Cloud Stack is, which outlets are on the DA80 list, and how pricing works. This article answers each question in plain language so you can choose the right package with confidence.
☁️ What Is a Cloud Stack?
A Cloud Stack is an add-on that supports your press release. It publishes related content on trusted cloud-hosted platforms, and that content points back to your release. Your news then appears in more places online, not just on the outlets that carry the release itself.
Here is why people add one:
- More visibility: your release shows up in more places.
- More supporting links: the extra pages reinforce the release and your brand.
- Faster discovery: more connected pages can help search engines find your release sooner.
⚡ The Quickest Convincing Pitch
If you need one sentence for a client, a teammate, or yourself, use this:
A Cloud Stack spreads your press release across trusted cloud platforms, so it gets found faster and builds more authority.
An even shorter version:
A press release gets your news published; a Cloud Stack helps people and search engines actually find it.
🏆 What Does DA80 Mean?
DA stands for Domain Authority. It is a score from 1 to 100 that estimates how strong a website is in search results. A DA80 outlet is a high-authority website, so a mention there carries more weight than one on a small or new site.
A few things to keep in mind:
- DA is a third-party score, not a Google ranking factor. It is a useful guide, not a guarantee.
- Higher-DA packages usually cost more because the placements are harder to secure.
- Outlet availability can change over time, so a fixed public list would go out of date quickly.
📋 Where to See the DA80 Outlet List
The outlets in each package depend on the distribution option you choose. To see which outlets are included, open the press release ordering page in the platform and review the details for the package you are considering. The list shown there is the most current one.
We recommend checking the list before you buy, especially if you need a particular type of outlet, such as a specific industry or region.
💰 How Press Release Pricing Works
Pricing depends on a few choices you make when you order:
- Distribution package: packages with higher-authority outlets, such as DA80, usually cost more than standard ones.
- Add-ons: a Cloud Stack is priced separately from the press release itself.
- Extras: some options, such as additional content services, may change the total.
For exact, up-to-date prices, check the order page in the platform. The total is shown before you confirm, so you can review it first.
