Writing Publicity-Friendly Content
The content on your site is one of the best tools to attract traffic, customers, and even the attention of the media. If a reputable media outlet is going to print your article or refer to your business in theirs, it can go a long way towards establishing your brand and improving your overall search optimization ranking. What’s even better is that this is FREE publicity, likely in a publication that charges significant amounts of money for advertising slots. Here are a few suggestions on how to write content that attracts the media to your site.
1. This may go without saying, but your online content must be easy to read. Make sure the point of the content is clear and that the pages are formatted correctly.

You may want to include subheadings, bullet points, lists, and more to make sure it is easy to follow and skim through, if necessary.
