What is the Purpose of a Press Release?

A press release is a brief, written communication sent to the press/media; it contains new information about a brand, business, or any organization.

  • A press release should be brief (around 500 words) and contain newsworthy information. Newsworthy information meaning something new, a latest event, development, announcement etc.
  • It could be about a new product that has just been released, a business opening a new branch, a new partnership or achievement and so on.
  • The media platforms are not obliged to broadcast or publish your press release and will only do so if it has some relevance or value to its community/audience.
  • Brands use a press release in the hope that reporters, journalists and editors will find it newsworthy and report about it further.
  • It can be published or broadcast on TV, in magazines, or on a national newspaper and many press releases are also published on relevant media websites.

Do Press Releases improve SEO & Branding?

Search engine optimization, commonly referred to as SEO, includes all efforts and tricks that can help a business website achieve higher rankings on search engines.

Higher rankings mean more traffic to your site; the more traffic, the higher your chances of clicks and conversions.

SEO consultants have been using tried and tested methods like SEO optimised content, guest posting, social media marketing and email marketing. But there’s a new kid on the block; SEO press releases.

In a nutshell, here’s what happens with an SEO press release: an announcement or newsworthy information is shared effectively through written content including related embedded graphics/images, videos, social media posts and hyperlinks. It is then distributed to selected publishers that cover related topics and who are most likely to then publish it. We suggest to tailor each release to the platform to make it more unique and rank on search engines as duplicate content usually doesn’t.

Inevitably, this leads to greater exposure of your brand name and news, bringing more traffic to your site and brand channels, increasing your reach and followers/subscribers.

SEO Press Releases are more relevant for SEO than ever before for the following Reasons

What to consider for an SEO Press Release Publication?

A good press release should be long enough to cover the fundamental news, short enough to arouse the attention and interest of the reader.

So, the title and media used matter hugely to attract more attention!

If you remember, we said it must be brief and to the point, right? Yet, it is easier said than done. How do you maintain brevity while also making the release newsworthy?

Here’s where you should use the services of seasoned PR and SEO professional at ClickDo to help come up with the perfect SEO Press Release for your campaign.

The 6 Cardinal Rules to follow for an SEO Press Release

Rule 1

First and foremost, the title and intro paragraph must contain the essence of the whole news/announcement ideally with easy to rank keywords incorporated; the intro must capture the attention of the reader. To achieve this, ensure that your lead paragraph has a hook. In journalistic terms, a hook serves to answer; who, what, when, where, and how. Thus, which brand; a b c. What has it done; they’ve launched a new product? When did that happen; 2 days ago? Where did that happen; at the company’s HQ in London. How did that happen; there was pomp and colour, the local mayor was present. You get the drift?

Rule 3

Ensure that your press release is original and unique; plagiarism and legal traps should be avoided at all costs. Do not defame a competitor or their brand; otherwise you could easily get sued.

Rule 5

Follow the basic rules of good writing; use a catchy title, proofread your work keenly for typos and grammatical errors. Nothing erodes confidence in your brand more than glaring grammatical and typo errors; no one takes you seriously if you can’t express yourself well.

Rule 2

Secondly, embrace the inverted pyramid rule when writing the SEO press release. This is a journalistic principle whereby you start with the most important paragraph at the top; other less important paragraphs follow in that same order. As such, journalists and media editors can edit your press release with more ease when publishing it.

Rule 4

Always keep your sentences short and concise; long sentences will confuse the reader; they also sound grammatically awkward. Pictures often speak more than a thousand words so utilise suitable media.

Rule 6

When submitting, remember to include ‘Media Release’ at the top of the document. Include the date too. At the end of your press release, finish with a “For more information, kindly contact us via…” Considering that the editor/journalist may need to reach you urgently either to clarify some information or for an interview, it’s important that you include your contact details and any additional information that might be useful.

Why get the SEO Press Release written by an SEO Expert?

For a press release to get published, it must adhere to all the rules and requirements that newspapers and media platforms adhere to. As a business owner, you may have the business acumen and instinct to help manage your businesses; but writing a press release is a different game all the same.

Defamation, libel, sedition, plagiarism, these are some of the major legal traps than one has to look out for when writing a press release.

Typos and grammatical errors can also erode the confidence that audiences and publications have for your brand. Professional SEO press release writers can proofread your document and polish it up to the best standards while optimising it for search engines.

You also need creativity when crafting a press release and the ability to write an effective, catchy title while including relevant media that will provide you with an SEO and branding advantage.
