The Top Myths About Press Releases, And the Truth
Myth #1: Press Releases Are Outdated
Many assume press releases are no longer relevant in the digital age. Lee explains that today’s online press releases are more impactful than ever, thanks to modern distribution networks, automation, multimedia integration, and journalist outreach.
“Press releases have evolved,” says Lee. “They’re no longer just PDFs faxed to newsrooms—they’re dynamic, SEO-rich assets published across hundreds of high-authority websites.”
Myth #2: Press Releases Don’t Help SEO
Lee debunks this by demonstrating how keyword-rich, properly distributed press releases:
- Improve Google search visibility
- Generate hundreds of backlinks to websites and social profiles
- Push down outdated or irrelevant search results
- Feed AI-driven tools, helping businesses surface higher in recommendations
Myth #3: Nobody Reads Press Releases
The reality? People read what they can find. With strategic distribution and SEO optimization, press releases are published across hundreds of sites, ensuring they’re discoverable and clickable.
Myth #4: Press Releases Are Only for Big Companies
Lee emphasizes that press releases are ideal for small businesses, solopreneurs, coaches, and consultants:
- Announce product launches or services
- Showcase achievements and milestones
