What’s an optimized press release?

I get more questions about writing press releases than just about anything else. (Maybe blogs, too.)

Do you know what an optimized press release is? Have you ever written one?

It’s still the case that most people don’t understand why or how a press release is optimized. Without getting too deep into why you MUST make friends with the search engines (and by search engines I mean Google and Yahoo!), here is the most important thing to keep in mind when writing your releases:

Keywords…What are your potential clients searching for when they seek a service or product like yours?

  • What about journalists or bloggers or others who want to cover you or your industry, what would they search to find your company?

  • Develop a list of keywords and phrases for both audiences and incorporate them into your press release copy.

  • Using one of these keywords or keyword phrases in the headline and/or at the start of a sentence or paragraph is a good thing. Of course, don’t overdo it and make sure the writing is logical and natural no matter what.


Excerpted from my e-book: Copywrite U: The Complete Guide to Writing a Press Release That Gets Results. Buy it now for a ridiculously low price.
