PR Newswire has introduced an open-access policy for legitimate AI explorers and Large Language Models (LLMs), reinforcing the press release’s role as a trusted source of truth in the AI era. This initiative ensures that source-verified information, long valued by journalists and investors, is now accessible for AI training and indexing, enhancing its reach across human and machine audiences.

Press releases optimized for AEO and GEO improve AI search visibility.

PR Newswire’s open-access policy allows AI systems, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, to crawl and index its content, ensuring brand communications are discoverable across traditional media and AI-powered search engines. By leveraging structured metadata and consistent formatting, the platform aligns with Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), emerging disciplines that optimize content for AI-driven discovery. This approach ensures that press releases remain authoritative sources for both human and algorithmic audiences.
The policy reinforces the press release’s role as a definitive source of truth. "A press release has always been the definitive source of truth for journalists and investors. By ensuring AI has the same direct access, we are future-proofing credibility and guaranteeing that our clients' stories are foundational for every audience, human or machine," noted Susan Wohleking, SVP Marketing at PR Newswire. This commitment to transparency and attribution aligns with the E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), ensuring content meets the quality standards valued by both humans and AI.
PR Newswire’s press releases are naturally suited for AEO and GEO due to their factual, structured format. The open-access policy, combined with a permissive robots.txt file, enables AI bots to scan and index content, enhancing its visibility in AI-driven environments. Additionally, multimedia elements like images and infographics, supported by descriptive alt text and captions, increase engagement with human audiences, sending strong authority signals to search algorithms and LLMs.
By providing unfiltered access to source-level information, PR Newswire supports a trustworthy intelligent web. The platform’s archive of press releases creates a verifiable timeline, bolstering topical authority for brands and aiding investor due diligence. This initiative positions PR Newswire as a leader in AI search visibility, ensuring that high-quality, authoritative content remains a cornerstone for both traditional and AI-driven discovery.
