We'd skip this one. It is a paid, per-release wire blast (confirmed pricing starts at $120 and rises through $245/$360/$480 tiers) rather than an evergreen directory listing — the content does not compound the way a citation does, and press-release links carry negligible SEO value today, so it rarely earns back its cost as a discovery channel.
Paid.
Who actually reads it
Journalists and aggregators on Cision's distribution list, plus whoever finds the release page itself via search — reach is proportional to the tier you pay for, not organic.
What a strong listing looks like
A genuinely newsworthy release (funding, product launch, partnership) written like a real press release rather than marketing copy, sent through the tier that matches the story's actual news value — this is not a channel to run every piece of content through.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
No — pricing starts at $120 per release (Basic) and rises to $245, $360 and $480 through higher syndication/journalist-list tiers.
Does this help SEO?
Not meaningfully — press-release links are widely treated as low-value by search engines today, so budget for reach and awareness, not rankings.
Is this the same as a directory listing?
No — it is a one-off distribution of a single release, not a persistent profile or citation.
