6 tips to optimize media coverage
To capitalize on positive press, make sure you secure a link to your website, add the publication’s logo to your home page and use LinkedIn to spotlight your achievements.
The benefits of a media mention go far beyond SEO.
Here are tips on getting the most out of that coverage.

This is why PR pros have so much power to affect search rankings. To capitalize, however, you must understand the value of links and capture the opportunities of press mentions.
