The ‘smart’ music industry marketing blog mus5.co released its second case study May 18th 2015, revealing that optimization of press release titles yields strong search result outcomes for press releases on stories already a few days old. This finding has huge implications for music marketing press release distribution, demonstrating that music bloggers and publishers can still maintain their market relevance in google search results even while playing catch-up to websites that snagged the story first.
The optimization strategy consisted of fitting more diverse qualifying terms into the press release title. Instead of using the generic term “artist” to describe the singer Shawna Russel, who had just earned significant recognition from her home town, the press release used in the case study included the term singer/songwriter in the release title. This made it appear among the results of the first page of a google search using terms related to the singer’s genre.
Though these genre terms were also in the title of the press release, which had been published already in identical form using the title term “artist,” the addition of singer/songwriter placed the press release into Google’s “In The News” section, which as Joe Vecchio, owner of mus5.co, stated:
“The importance of the “In the news” section within Google’s default web tab is huge because these results are front and center and only appear on the 1st page of Googles search results!”
