Conclusion
Most projects treat the listing itself as the PR moment. By the time you’re announcing the listing, the PR work should already be done. The listing announcement is the payoff of months of credibility building, not the start of it.
If exchange analysts google your project and find six months of consistent, credible coverage, you’ve already made their decision easier. If they find nothing, no listing day press release will fix that.
