Guide and reusable template
Company launch press release: template and example.
A company launch press release puts a new operating business on the record. It names the founders, location, market, launch date and the product or service customers can access.
Is it ready?
Publish when the news can be checked.
The business has a legal or public identity, a named operator and something available outside the pitch deck.
Evidence checklist
Have these facts ready before drafting.
- Founder or leadership name
- Launch date
- Company location
- Product, service or first customer proof
Editorial angle
A company exists when it has a named operator and something available outside the pitch deck.
Give the editor enough information to identify who acted, what changed, when it happened and where the supporting fact can be checked.
Illustrative example
A headline and opening paragraph that state the news.
[Founder] launches [Company] to provide [Service] for [Market]
[City], [Date] — [Founder] today announced the launch of [Company], a [type of business] serving [audience] with [specific product or service].
Bracketed text is a prompt, not a claim. Replace every field with a fact you can support.
Copyable outline

- Supporting factsFounder or leadership name; Launch date; Company location; Product, service or first customer proof.

Editorial rejection risks
Three mistakes to remove before submission.

- Claiming market leadership before operations begin
What Cited delivers
Draft, approval, distribution and URL report.
You provide the facts and evidence. Cited prepares the draft. Nothing is submitted until you approve it. After distribution, your report lists the URLs returned by the provider.
Claim boundary
Publication creates a source, not a guaranteed ranking.
Publishers control acceptance, labels, links and page availability. Search and AI systems decide whether a page is indexed, ranked or cited. Potential domain traffic is not the same as article readership.
