How To Create A Press Mentions Page To Gain Customer Trust?

 

A press page is a place for you to show-off! A press page acts as a central repository for all media coverage, press mentions, social media mentions, and other shoutouts you’ve been getting in the online media.

By having all this vital information in one place, you make it easier for prospects, clients, partners and other journalists and publications to quickly get an idea about you and what others think of you as a brand or a professional.

Why Press Pages Are Important?

A press page is a crucial part of your blog or website. It has three major benefits:

  • Press pages are a great way to gain credibility by showing your audience the various sources that have mentioned you.
  • It also helps you gain the trust of brands and advertisers to attract more partnerships.
  • If a media source has decided to feature/cover you, it’s your responsibility to return the favour and make the process as easy as possible. A press page, therefore, acts as a huge asset for journalists in getting an idea about how other media publications have written or talked about you and craft their own narrative accordingly.

What To Include In A Press Page?

These are the top three things every press page must have:

  1. Contact Information: Include the email address and a contact number clearly on your press page.
  2. Personal/Company Description: A short overview of what is it that you or your company does, your mission, any noteworthy awards or impressive stats, etc.
  3. Media Mentions: This will be the bulk of your press page. Fill up this section with all the articles, publications, news etc that have interviewed or featured your company or your spokesperson. This helps builds credibility and reputation.
