NEW YORK, April 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Many communications professionals list "online visibility and discoverability" on their goals for press release use and content distribution, but the press release may still be overlooked by small business marketers looking to boost their brand's profile. With distribution, press releases spread your message and content across a large network of blogs, media outlets, journalists, RSS feeds, and search engine indexes—and with just a few strategic tweaks, you can take your releases to the next level.

Phillip Thune, CEO of Textbroker, offers 3 key tactics to boost press release performance and increase online discoverability and visibility, in his latest article for PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit. From identifying and integrating keywords popular with your target audience, to optimizing the title and keeping the content on message, Thune's advice will help you get the most out of your content distribution.
