Roofing Expert Caitlin Sadwick of Exceptional Exteriors Roofing & Siding Shares Insights on Roofing Material Comparison in HelloNation Magazine
According to the article, asphalt shingles remain popular due to their low upfront cost and ease of installation. They typically last 15 to 30 years and come in a range of styles, making them suitable for many home designs. Metal roofing, on the other hand, offers a much longer lifespan—40 to 70 years—and is better suited for regions with extreme weather. It resists cracking, shrinking, and erosion, and can even improve energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat.
Maintenance and aesthetic preferences also play a role. Asphalt roofs may need occasional shingle replacements and are more vulnerable to algae growth. Metal roofs require less frequent upkeep but may need insulation to reduce noise. Visually, metal offers a contemporary look, while shingles provide more traditional curb appeal.
Sadwick notes that the best choice ultimately depends on a homeowner's budget, climate considerations, and long-term plans for the property. The article emphasizes that both options can be excellent, depending on specific needs, and encourages homeowners to weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding.

Generative Pulse is Here: At Last Brands Can Take Control of AI Narratives
Miami, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Generative Pulse , a groundbreaking new solution for shaping brand visibility in generative AI responses, is now available, providing brands with the insights and tools they need to understand and guide how they appear in AI answers. Developed by Muck Rack, the leader in PR software, Generative Pulse empowers communicators to identify the sources shaping AI responses, engage key voices, steer the narrative, and measure impact, all in one platform. As tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini increasingly become the first stop for information-seekers, how these AI models describe brands is transforming customer perception, purchase behavior and even reputation. Generative Pulse is the first PR-specific tool built to address this shift, revealing which journalists, outlets, and sources are driving how AI talks about a brand, and enabling communications teams to influence the conversation directly. 'Brands that aren't showing up in AI-generated answers aren't showing up at all,' said Greg Galant, cofounder and CEO of Muck Rack. 'This is a turning point for PR. With Generative Pulse, we're giving comms teams the insight and actionability they need to lead in the era of generative search.' New Research: AI Trusts Earned Media The launch follows the release of Muck Rack's new, benchmark-setting research report, What Is AI Reading? , which analyzed over 1 million links cited by AI platforms. The findings show that over 95% of links cited by AI are from non-paid media, and 89% are earned media. Journalistic content makes up 27% of all citations, rising to 49% for recent or time-sensitive queries. High-authority outlets like Reuters , Axios , Financial Times and AP dominate citations, but industry-specific sources are frequently pulled depending on the query type and topic. From Insight to Action: Inside Generative Pulse Generative Pulse delivers a unique dashboard experience built around Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—a new framework for AI-era brand visibility. Muck Rack users can input brand names, competitors and prompts, and get a full report including: 'No other platform connects insight to action like Generative Pulse,' added Galant. 'You're not just seeing who's influencing AI, you can actually reach them, influence the outcome and measure your impact all within the same workflow.' Platform Integration and Availability GEO functionality must be integrated into a complete PR workflow and earned media suite so teams can actively shape how LLMs respond; not just passively monitor the results. Muck Rack integrates these insights into its end-to-end PR workflow, enabling users to instantly pitch the most influential journalists, add top-cited outlets to media lists and analyze the news and social media for stories that will impact how they show up in LLM answers. Generative Pulse is available now as part of Muck Rack Premier. It uses the same interface trusted by more than 5,000 companies globally and builds on Muck Rack's fully integrated platform for media relations, including its global media monitoring tools, industry-leading media database, and integrated pitching, press release and social listening tools.
