Features

Everything a modern publisher
actually needs

Not a generic CMS with modern bolt-ons. Built from scratch for live scores, breaking news, match reports, and large-scale article archives.

🏗️

True multi-tenant architecture

One backend powers multiple modern publications simultaneously. Each client gets complete data isolation, custom branding, and their own admin panel — without separate infrastructure costs.

⚡

Headless & fast

Your frontend can be built in any framework. Next.js, Nuxt, Astro — PressTag serves pure JSON via REST API.

📝

Rich content types

Articles, live blogs, photo galleries, web stories, and video posts — all managed from one admin.

🔴

Live blog

Real-time match updates with timestamped entries. Perfect for IPL commentary or match day coverage.

📊

Built-in SEO scoring

Every article gets an SEO score. Editors see exactly what to fix before publishing — no Yoast plugin needed.

👥

Editorial workflows

Author → Editor → Admin approval flow. Roles, permissions, and notifications built in.

🔀

301 redirect management

Migrating from WordPress? PressTag preserves your SEO by tracking slug history and serving automatic 301 redirects.

🖼️

Media library

Upload, manage and reuse images across articles. CDN-backed delivery for fast page loads.

🧩

Custom content properties

Every content type can carry its own fields — match scores, ratings, price tags, whatever your publication needs. Not the same rigid post schema as everyone else.

✨

An admin that doesn't feel templated

Most CMS admins look identical. PressTag's editorial interface is designed from scratch, so it feels like a tool built for your newsroom, not a generic dashboard.

Built for how you actually write

Two tools your writers
will actually use

Not every feature needs to be a plugin. These come standard.

PressTag fullscreen focus mode writing canvas and web story builder

Focus mode and a full web story builder, both standard

One click hides everything except the article being written — no sidebar, no toolbar clutter. And when a story needs to be visual, build full-screen web stories with a live preview, right in the same admin.

Distraction-free writing, on by default for every article
Add slides, background, text style, and overlay for web stories
Preview, save, or publish straight from the same admin

Write with confidence

A live SEO score,
not a plugin nag

Type a title, PressTag scores it. Add a keyword, it checks placement. No "upgrade to premium" popups — it's just there, updating as you write.

PressTag live SEO score and checklist while writing

Every article gets scored, automatically

Set a focus keyword and hit Analyze — PressTag checks title, meta description, keyword placement, and more, then splits results into Good, Improve, and Issues so editors know exactly what to fix.

Live SEO score out of 100, updating as the article changes
Checklist tells editors exactly what to fix, not just a number
Same scoring engine on live blogs and web stories too

Our flagship feature

Live blogs, built for
match day

This is the feature PressTag was built around. Real-time, timestamped coverage that doesn't buckle under traffic when the match goes to penalties.

PressTag live blog management dashboard and live update feed with SEO analysis

Post an update in seconds, live on the page instantly

Start a live blog, add timestamped updates as the match unfolds, and track ongoing vs. completed coverage from one dashboard — with the same live SEO analysis running alongside it.

Filter by category or author, jump straight to any running blog
SEO scoring runs on live blogs the same as regular articles
Add Update and Preview without leaving the live editor

Built for a real newsroom

Roles and permissions
that match how you work

Writers write. Editors review. Admins publish. Nobody gets access they shouldn't have, and nothing goes live without the right eyes on it first.

PressTag roles and permissions panel with Admin, Editor, and Writer access levels

Admin, Editor, Writer — permissions set per CMS module

Every role gets exactly the access it needs, down to the module: an Editor can view, create, and edit Posts and Pages but can't touch Settings or delete anything — all visible and adjustable in one screen.

View / Create / Edit / Publish / Delete, set per module per role
Three roles out of the box — Admin, Editor, Writer

See what's working

A dashboard that answers
the questions editors actually ask

PressTag connects directly to Google Analytics, so the numbers your editorial team needs are on the dashboard itself — not buried in a separate GA login.

Know your numbers without leaving the admin

Total, published, pending, and draft articles; top author and top category by views; live GA sessions and top pages — all on the home screen the moment you log in.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does migration take?

For most publications under 20,000 articles, migration takes 2–5 days. We handle the entire process — WordPress export, data transformation, image migration, and DNS cutover. You keep publishing throughout.

Will I lose my SEO rankings?

No. PressTag tracks all previous slugs and automatically serves 301 redirects. Google sees a clean redirect chain. We've migrated 14,646 articles for Sportzpoint without any ranking loss.

Can I keep my existing frontend design?

Yes. PressTag is headless — your frontend connects to our API. Your design stays exactly as it is. We adapt the API to match your data requirements.

Do I need technical knowledge to use the admin?

No. The admin is designed for journalists and editors — not developers. Writing, publishing, managing categories and tags is all point-and-click. Your team will be comfortable within an hour.

What if I have a custom requirement?

Talk to us. PressTag is actively developed and we build features for clients when they make sense for the platform. Enterprise clients get custom feature development as part of the plan.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a free 30-minute demo where you can see the full admin, explore content types, and ask any questions. Book a call through the contact form below.
