CONTENT MARKETING FOR LAWYERS
Lawyer Press Release Marketing
A good Press Release can be a valuable part of the overall Legal Content Marketing strategy. If you have a good piece of interesting news that warrants a press release, then no doubt it can provide great value to have a press release done. It will get you in front of a new audience
Consider,
-
92% of journalists use search engines to research stories and 81% of journalists use search engines daily (MarketingSherpa)
-
Blog readership, RSS feed subscriptions and social media sites are visited in record numbers
-
Journalists using Google News surpass usage of major networks, like MSNBC & CNN!
Before you write and issue a press release, ask “Is there news value in this story? And, “Does it warrant a release?”. You dont want to just make something up or issue something to just to try and make an obvious marketing ploy. It wont be accepted in most cases.
You can create a press release for numerous reasons and if accepted, you will get your press release in front of a lot of media sites with a lot of potential for traffic and links. If your story is really interesting, it could be picked up by other media sites, or shared by others via social media.
The end result could be a lot of links, and also citations of your contact info, that can help your overall Local SEO campaign. I see a LOT of benefits of legal content marketing in general and press releases specifically.
