Questions

Yes, when done correctly. The route focuses on 3 ranking factors specific to press releases: a keyword-rich headline that matches real search queries, distribution through indexed wire services that pass domain authority, and a structured body that Google's crawlers can parse. Press releases that hit all 3 consistently rank for branded and product keywords within 2 to 4 weeks of distribution.

Paid wire services provide the domain authority backlinks that make press release SEO work. Free distribution services rarely index properly. The route covers cost-effective options: EIN Presswire starts at $99 per release and provides strong indexing. The SEO value from a single ranked press release typically exceeds the distribution cost within the first month of traffic.

A regular press release is written for journalists. An SEO-optimized press release is written for journalists and search engines at the same time. The differences are in headline structure (keyword at the front), anchor text in body links, boilerplate optimization with keyword-rich company description, and metadata added during wire distribution. The route shows you each change and why it matters.
