Hey @johnmu, hope you're having a good week. Quick (hopefully) question for you...

I met with a client last week and the question came up about Press Releases. They currently do quite well with PR in local and some national press, as well as some of their industry specific publications.

Each of the PR's are written in third person ready for the publisher.

They then rewrite these in first person for their own blog with a more friendly tone of voice. So it essentially the same subject, but not the same copy/style.

From an SEO point of view, would there be benefit to have a "Press" area, where each of the 'third person' articles are published verbatim prior to releasing to the publications?

People need to rethink "SEO". The kids aren't googling.

"About 40 percent of Gen Z — those born between 1997 and 2012 — prefers to discover information on platforms other than Google" - according to data presented...by Google.

If you're STILL not on TikTok, that's on you and your business. It's damn near 2025. No one is "feeling lucky".

@phillycodehound @MordyOberstein @simoncox Not sure "or are you chicken?" is gonna work here.

Things like #SEOchat take a tonne of work and prep so not surprising one would go where the audience is.

Can be a little chicken and egg (lots of chickens!) so we can help build the audience first then add fuel to the flame with chats etc. 👍

#SEOChat needs to be moved to Mastodon. It's not that hard @MordyOberstein

Hell I'm help you if you can't figure it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear you make things more complex than it needs to be!
