About
CoverageBook is a dedicated PR reporting and measurement tool trusted by over 18,753 PR professionals across 3,000 teams in more than 40 countries. Designed for busy publicists, agencies, and in-house communications teams, it dramatically reduces the time spent on manual reporting tasks by automating data collection from a wide range of platforms including online articles, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Spotify, Twitch, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Reports are fully customizable with flexible layouts, branded styling, and multiple export options—shareable online, as a PDF, or as a CSV/Excel file.

Features also include SEO impact tracking for digital PR, ROI measurement, and benchmark data. CoverageBook is ideal for PR agencies, in-house teams, account directors, and PR executives who want to spend less time on reporting and more time on strategic relationship-building.
