Your First Coverage Report
Go from a list of links to a polished client-ready deck. Takes about two minutes.
What You Need
Just your coverage links. News articles, blog posts, social media posts, broadcast clips — anything with a URL works.
Paste them all at once (one per line) or drag in a CSV file. PRCharter figures out the rest: screenshots, headlines, publication names, dates, sentiment, key quotes.
Tip: You don't need perfect URLs. PRCharter validates and normalizes each link automatically, handling redirects and paywalled content gracefully.
Paste Your Links
From the Dashboard, hit + New Report. You'll see a big text area — paste your URLs there.
As you paste, the counter at the bottom tells you how many valid URLs were detected. PRCharter also accepts bare domains (like techcrunch.com/article-slug) and auto-prepends https://.
Supported Formats
| Format | Example |
|--------|---------|
| Full URL | https://techcrunch.com/2024/article |
| Bare domain | techcrunch.com/2024/article |
| CSV file | Drag and drop a .csv with a URL column |
| Bulk paste | One URL per line, any quantity |
Hit Generate
Click Generate Report and PRCharter takes over:
- Validates and fetches each URL
- Captures full-page screenshots
- Extracts metadata — publication, author, date, domain authority
- Runs AI analysis — sentiment, key quotes, executive summary
- Assembles everything into slides
The right template is auto-selected based on your content. A progress bar keeps you posted.
Warning: For large reports (30+ URLs), generation may take 1-2 minutes. Don't close the tab — the progress bar will keep you updated.
Review and Customize
Your report opens in the Editor. Every slide is editable — drag to reorder, toggle visibility, adjust text. The left panel lets you switch between Slides, Style, and Metrics views.
Most reports look great out of the box. But if a headline needs tweaking or you want to swap a screenshot, everything is right there.
Quick Editing Shortcuts
- Double-click any text to edit inline
- Drag handles on the left to reorder slides
- Eye icon to toggle slide visibility
- Style tab for global branding changes
Tips from the Field
- 10-20 articles is the sweet spot. Enough to tell a compelling story without overwhelming the reader.
- Mix your sources. National news + trade pubs + social creates a richer picture than 15 articles from the same outlet.
- Don't wait for perfection. You can always add more coverage later (see the Adding Coverage guide).
- Check the Executive Summary. It's AI-generated but always worth a quick review before sharing.
- Preview before sharing. Use the Preview button to see exactly what your client sees.
