HOW PRESSfeed WORKS
Adding company news and other useful and relevant content to your website in an online newsroom is one of the best ways to increase your online presence and your search engine visibility. Fresh content is something Google looks for and it keeps visitors coming back to the site. News content in an easy to find and use online newsroom is top of the list of what journalists and bloggers want in a company website.
According to BtoB tech firm Arketi, journalists are turning to PR professionals and news releases for story ideas. They are using social media tools to find stories, but search engine optimization and building a media-friendly websites site remain vital to reaching the media.
Successful marketing online depends on building trust and relationships. Over 80 percent of web users are now active in social media and they expect a company or organization to have a social media presence. To build a relationship you have to have that social media presence and participate in the conversations. Engagement is the key.
And while it is necessary to have content and build relationships on these various social sites, having all that content in one place on your website is imperative.
