Attributing Economic Results to Press Releases

Understanding the Intersection Between Press Releases, Search Engine Optimization and Measurement/Analytics  

When you want to increase the results of your press release, which platform drives the best results?

  • Email pitches?
  • Press releases?
  • Earned media?
  • Owned media?

How do you track this information? How do you measure these channels?

Since 2009, Business Wire and SEO-PR have conducted a series of tests using press releases to address three questions:

  1. Can press releases generate website traffic as well as increase brand awareness?
  2. Can press releases generate leads and sales?
  3. What is the short-term Return On Marketing Investment (ROMI) of a press release?

In this webinar, Greg Jarboe, of SEO-PR, looks at the intersection between press releases, search engine optimization and measurement/analytics to showcase the economic value of the press release. He will discuss the tactical steps to create your own trackable measurement program to identify the important role of the press release and will share the highlights from testing conducted in January 2022.
