How it Works
The first step to getting your press release in front of the right eyes is to create a compelling story. Use PRWeb’s creation tools to make a text-only press release or one with visuals. Embed photos or videos, add hyperlinks and bring attention to certain words with pull-quotes. PRWeb will automatically assist you in creating SEO-friendly text and URLs so your release shows up at the top of search engine results. When your release is complete, you can send it to PRWeb’s editorial team for review, or save it for later edits.
Once your release is approved, it will be distributed to websites, journalists, bloggers, search engines and/or social media platforms, depending on your selected package. Through Cision’s list of contacts, you can send your release to influencers in a specific industry. You can post your content directly to your social media networks, as well as Cision’s industry-specific Twitter accounts.
After your release has been sent out into the world, PRWeb will show you detailed analytics including views, shares, generated traffic, search visibility, audience engagement and audience location.
