Our Press Release Writing Process
Every press release OrbitArticles produces begins with a detailed content brief to understand your announcement, your brand voice, and your target audience.
Our specialist PR writers then craft a fully professional press release formatted to industry standards with a compelling headline, a strong opening paragraph that answers the essential who, what, when, where, and why, followed by supporting details, a brand boilerplate, and a call to action.
Every press release is simultaneously optimised for SEO: incorporating your target keyword naturally in the headline and opening paragraph, using structured subheadings where appropriate, and including a backlink to your target URL as dictated by the distribution platform’s guidelines.
Our Distribution Network & Reach
OrbitArticles distributes your press release to a vetted network of over 400 media outlets, news portals, industry publications, and digital news aggregators.
Our distribution list includes Google News-indexed portals ensuring your release has a direct pathway into Google’s news ecosystem alongside regional news sites, niche industry publications, financial news portals, and general news aggregators with high domain authority. Each outlet in our network is selected for its genuine editorial readership, organic search visibility, and indexation reliability.
We do not distribute to ghost sites or low-traffic directories that generate fake pickup reports every outlet we use has verifiable traffic and real editorial standards.
Press Releases & SEO: What Actually Works in 2025
The relationship between press releases and SEO has evolved significantly in the past several years. Mass-distributed press releases with exact-match anchor text backlinks are no longer an effective or safe link building strategy on their own.
What press releases do contribute powerfully to in 2025 is brand entity building the accumulation of brand mentions, NAP citations, and co-occurrence signals across authoritative news domains that strengthen your brand’s identity in Google’s knowledge graph. A well-distributed press release also generates indirect SEO value: journalists and bloggers who discover your release through media portals often write original coverage that includes organic editorial backlinks, compounding the link equity generated well beyond the initial distribution.
What Makes a Press Release Newsworthy
The most effective press releases share a common characteristic: they announce something genuinely newsworthy. Product launches, company funding rounds, major partnerships, award wins, executive appointments, significant data or research findings, and event announcements all make strong press release subjects.
Releases that are thinly veiled promotional copy announcing nothing beyond a general service offering tend to be ignored by journalists and filtered by editorial gatekeepers.
Our content team advises every client on the newsworthiness of their announcement before writing begins, and we help frame your story in a way that resonates with media recipients and motivates them to republish or cover it further.
Geo-Targeted & Industry-Specific Distribution
Not every press release needs to reach every audience. For local and regional businesses, targeted distribution to local news outlets and city-specific portals drives far more relevant traffic and citation value than broad national distribution. For niche B2B businesses, distribution to industry-specific trade publications and vertical news sites generates higher engagement and more credible brand mentions than generic mass distribution.
OrbitArticles offers both broad distribution packages for maximum reach, and targeted distribution options for clients who want their announcement placed precisely in front of the journalists, editors, and readers most likely to engage with and republish it.
Full Reporting & Pickup Verification
After distribution, you receive a comprehensive pickup report listing every confirmed publication that ran your press release, including the live URL of each placement, the domain authority of the publishing outlet, and the publication date.
We verify every pickup directly before including it in your report we never include unverified or estimated syndications. For clients running ongoing PR campaigns, we track cumulative brand mention growth across reporting periods and provide strategic guidance on which announcement types are generating the most media pickup and downstream SEO impact.
Your investment in press release distribution is always fully accountable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do press releases still help with SEO in 2025?
Yes โ but the mechanism has shifted. Press releases are no longer primarily a direct link building tool. Their strongest SEO contribution in 2025 is brand entity building: accumulating brand mentions, citations, and co-occurrence signals across authoritative news domains that reinforce your brand’s identity and authority in Google’s knowledge graph. Additionally, press releases generate indirect link value โ journalists and bloggers who discover your release through media portals often write original coverage with organic editorial backlinks that produce real, compounding link equity. When combined with a broader link building strategy, press releases are a powerful credibility and authority amplifier.
Do you write the press release, or do I need to provide the content?
We handle the writing. Our specialist PR copywriters craft your press release from scratch based on a detailed brief you complete at the time of ordering โ covering the announcement details, your brand voice, key messages, target audience, and any specific quotes or data you want included. The finished release follows professional press release formatting standards with a compelling headline, inverted pyramid structure, brand boilerplate, and contact details. If you already have a draft, we can also refine and SEO-optimise it for distribution. Either way, your press release is reviewed for newsworthiness, readability, and SEO alignment before distribution begins.
Which types of announcements work best for press releases?
The most effective press releases announce something with genuine news value. Strong candidates include: product or service launches, funding rounds and investment news, strategic partnerships and collaborations, executive appointments, award wins and industry recognition, proprietary research or survey data, event announcements, significant company milestones, and major client wins (with permission). Press releases promoting nothing beyond a general service offering rarely generate meaningful media pickup. If you’re unsure whether your announcement qualifies as newsworthy, our team provides a free pre-submission assessment before you commit to a distribution order.
How quickly will my press release be distributed?
Once your press release is written, approved, and ready for distribution, the process typically completes within 24โ48 hours. Publication across all outlets in the distribution network may roll out over 48โ72 hours depending on each outlet’s editorial queue. You receive an initial pickup confirmation within 48 hours, followed by your full comprehensive report once all confirmed placements are verified โ typically within 5โ7 business days of distribution. Expedited same-day distribution is available for time-sensitive announcements such as breaking news, product launches coinciding with specific dates, or event-driven campaigns.
Can press release distribution help with local SEO?
Absolutely โ and for local businesses, targeted press release distribution is one of the most cost-effective local SEO tactics available. When your business is mentioned in local and regional news portals alongside your business name, address, and URL, it generates NAP (Name, Address, Phone) citation signals that strengthen your local search rankings and Google Business Profile authority. We offer geo-targeted distribution packages that place your release specifically with local and regional news outlets in your city or state โ maximising the citation value and local audience relevance of every placement. This is particularly effective for service businesses, brick-and-mortar retailers, and regional brands targeting specific geographic markets.
