You literally saw the path of where SEO is headed, branding and trust from a user standpoint. Press releases help tremendously, it's not about the backlink but being heard in the proper sources that Google keeps their eyes on. Spot on my friend, well done.

I personally think saying contact us today for free quote is also good too :). But overall I think your spot on, that you really need to be noticed, no matter how great your site is designed it's just not enough.

But beyond the control of marketers is another challenge - in that these clients tend to only listen in bits and pieces. Things that a Marketing Agency might mention to a client today - comes up in a conversation 6 months later - when the CEO is now excited about the topic because their 'son' (in college) affirmed that social networks do matter. But I guess this comes with the territory. I do agree that copywriting & press releases can be valuable tools in the process though.

So i suppose it boils down to trust like searchenginepress.com said. Great post all the same!

I am the web designer/internet marketer for a not for profit company in Ontario that revolves around preserving nature. I don't want to say there name outright because of what happened and the bad press that was associated to the mistake. A PR firm was hired when the company I work for joined into a venture with another large corporation for fund-raising efforts. As a result this PR firm offered a simple Press Release distribution that included a free fax out option. It was chosen, and when the Press Release was sent out there was a hiccup in the Fax software and it was sent out 10 times to each receiver. One of the focuses of the fund-raising efforts was preserving trees. Guess who received the complaints? Be mindful that bad press isn't always good press, and be careful who you choose to be your PR firm. The above 2 recommendations are stellar companies that would never make the same mistake the little company did. The worst part was that they didn't even refund the fee they charged.

I always reinforce that a good website is only half the battle - there is lots of work to be done on and offline to support the site before it will start to make sales.
