Meld Traditional News Release Writing With Search Engine Optimization
Press releases used to be written exclusively for the news media with the intent of enticing journalists to cover a story centered on the announcement. This would in turn help companies develop positive brand exposure. The objective is the same today -- only now, online press releases can offer instant visibility and effectively reach your target audience right away.An online press release should appeal to journalists, as well as to consumers. The announcement should take on the narrative stance of a reporter concisely conveying the facts. The meat of your news announcement should be located in the headline and lead paragraph.
You also want to ensure that your press release is search engine friendly in order to effectively reach consumers through the sea of other news announcements. Employ Search Engine Optimization techniques, including strategic keyword placement for the headline, lead paragraph and body, as well as relevant anchor text links. Depending on which press release distribution service you choose, you may also be able to include photos and multimedia.
