Press Release Writing for Small Public Companies
1.
2. Here are a few dead simple, very basic things to remember
when writing your press release:
Write in the 3rd Person
For example don't use “you” or “I”. We are basically
just trying to sound like a real new article (I'll
show you a full length example soon)
Don't sell anything
Remember, this isn't a promotional piece which is kind
of counter intuitive considering we are writing this
to try to get attention. The idea here is to be
subtle and to just deliver information about what we
are and what we are doing
Aim for 400-600 words, possibly more.
Sites like PRWeb let you embed an anchor text every
100 words. The longer your release, the more
backlinks you can stuff in. Don't go crazy, but keep
it in mind, you get more bang for your buck if you can
pump out around 400+ words.
How does what you are promoting, selling, offering,
etc. benefit the end user, not you?
Here is an example, “This revolutionary new weight
loss program can help struggling obese people finally
find a way out”
Stay Interesting
Try to write creatively, sound interesting, and ensure
a flow throughout your content. Make it readable and
somewhat enjoyable to read.
Now before actually writing the press release we will need
to do some keyword research. First you will want to go to
www.googlekeywordtool.com and go to the Google Keyword link
on the top left.
We will be looking for up to 5 medium to high volume
keywords that have a reasonable amount of competition. Just
for example, lets use the reverse phone niche(will change
to something else) later
Using Google Adwords Keyword Tool, always set “Match Type”
to “Exact” in the drop down menu.
Lets search for a “keyword”?
3. You need to find a keyword that gets searched a lot, you
should pick the 5 keywords that are 50,000+ searches or
less. Pick the 5 best keywords that describe your business
or product.
Next, go to www.google.com and let's type each keyword
phrase in and perform a basic search, using quotes to get
the exact competition for that keyword.
5. Keyword 3 – IPad Games
Analyzing the above keywords in the 3 above screenshots, we
see (whatever keyword is the best keyword with the least
amount of competition.
This would be a good keyword to put as the first word in
our title and somewhere in our press release body pointing
back to our site. The idea here is to use a high volume
keyword first in our title so when the press release is
distributed and sent out, it will get all of this traffic
and immediately convert into eyeballs on the thing you are
promoting in your press release.
Finding Your 2nd and 3rd Keyword For SEO the Press Release
Now from here out, we are going to look for slightly lower
volume and much lower competition keywords to target.
These are going to be the keywords we will be doing our SEO
for. These will be the keywords we use in the body of the
press release for getting people to your site and for
marketing you website.
6. Basically you want to get 4-5 low to medium volume searched
keywords that have significantly lower competition in the
search engines. The lower the better because these also
will rank well in Google and will help with getting the
word out and getting people to your website, eyeballs on
your company.
The exact places where the keywords are placed isn't very
important but you want to space them out every 100 words or
so and fit them in as naturally as possible to the actual
text. The most ideal thing would be to link the keywords
back to different content sites for your company like
youtube, an article, your website, or anything else related
to your business. Writing a press release is relatively
easy compared to writing other content you just have to
provide the news of your company or business that you own.
Tip: Don't use grammatically incorrect keywords that don't
fit in, most likely this will get your release denied by
the human editors at places like PRWeb.
Purchasing the Press Release Service
7. I recommend using PRWeb.com since it is easy to gauge how
they'll perform. They also give you an insanely detailed
dashboard and admin panel to work with, here's a screenshot
of just some of the metrics you can track
Media Visibility Package is recommended because of
publicity you will get with newspapers.
8. Bonus Tip
If you want to send out your release on a certain date make
sure you submit it at least 24 hours in advance. They have
human moderators who approve these releases and if they get
rejected you'll have to edit them and resubmit which can
cause you to miss your deadline or desired release time.
Once your release has been approved and scheduled it will
go out whenever you'd like. My best results have been
Monday and Tuesday at 10 am EST or Wednesday 1pm EST.
Journalists and reporters are paying attention to releases
at those times and day. We want to get picked up by both
of these groups.
