Prior to distribution, Comtex’s editorial team reviews press releases and reports. To ensure quick approval and integration, it is critical to meet the following guidelines:

1. Each article must have a clearly labeled author.

2. Each article must include the name of the Content Partner (corporate name).

3. Each article must include a contact phone number and email for the Content Partner.

4. Each article must include a physical mailing or business address for the Content Partner.

5. Content cannot include placeholder values for any numbers, metrics or prices referenced.

6. Please make sure content is free from any and all XML errors. This is the number one reason content does not post.

Here are some other ideas to help improve indexation: 

1. Whenever possible, include exchange(s) and ticker(s) in the body and meta-data of your stories.

2. Try to reference company names, exchanges, and tickers within the first two paragraphs of your story.

3. Do not publish duplicative content across feeds.
