PR Plan: Monthly 4-PR Campaign with 3-Link Architecture

Four press releases per month. Each one links to three targets. Over 12 months, this builds a compounding link ecosystem that strengthens GMB, service pages, and previous PR authority simultaneously.

The 3-Link Architecture

Every press release embeds exactly three links:

| Link # | Target | Purpose | |--------|--------|---------| | Link 1 | Google Business Profile (GMB) | Citation + GMB authority signal | | Link 2 | Primary service page | Service page link equity | | Link 3 | Previous month's press release | PR chain — links previous PR builds its authority |

Why link to previous PR: Press releases on distribution networks (Press Advantage, PR Newswire) receive backlinks from syndication partners. Linking PR-to-PR creates a chain where each release reinforces the previous one's authority, which then flows to service pages.

Mode 1: Plan

Generate the monthly PR calendar from a client's services and news angles:

4 PR angle types to rotate:

| Week | Angle Type | Example | |------|-----------|---------| | Week 1 | Service spotlight | "[Business] Launches [Service] for [City] Homeowners" | | Week 2 | Community/local involvement | "[Business] Partners With [Local Org] to [Initiative]" | | Week 3 | Educational/helpful | "[Business] Releases Guide to [Topic] for [Audience]" | | Week 4 | Award/milestone/social proof | "[Business] Celebrates [Milestone] in [City]" |

Plan output:

MONTHLY PR PLAN — [Month] [Year]
Client: [Business name]
PR 1 (Week 1): [Headline] | Angle: Service spotlight | Target page: [URL]
PR 2 (Week 2): [Headline] | Angle: Community | Target page: [URL]
PR 3 (Week 3): [Headline] | Angle: Educational | Target page: [URL]
PR 4 (Week 4): [Headline] | Angle: Milestone | Target page: [URL]
Link architecture: PR1→GMB+Service+[prior PR] | PR2→GMB+Service+PR1 | etc.

Mode 2: Write

Standard press release format — AP Style, 400-600 words.

Structure:

HEADLINE: [City] [Business Name] [Newsworthy Action] — [Outcome or Benefit]

DATELINE: [CITY, STATE] — [Month Day, Year] —

LEAD PARAGRAPH (the 5 Ws):
[Who] [What] [When] [Where] [Why/How] — all in one focused paragraph.

BODY PARAGRAPH 2: Context and elaboration. Statistics or market context.

QUOTE: "[Quote from owner/expert]," said [Name], [Title] of [Business Name]. "[Second sentence expanding on quote]."

BODY PARAGRAPH 3-4: Additional details, process, differentiators, or community angle.

BOILERPLATE:
About [Business Name]: [2-3 sentences. Service, location, founding, contact.]

Contact:
[Name]
[Title]
[Phone]
[Email]
[Website URL — Link 2: service page]
[GMB URL — Link 1]

Link placement: Links 1 and 2 in boilerplate. Link 3 (previous PR) embedded in body: "This initiative follows [Business Name]'s recent announcement about [topic], available at [previous PR URL]."

Mode 3: Chain

Building the PR chain across months:

| Month | PR Submitted | Links To | |-------|-------------|---------| | Month 1, Week 1 | PR-001 | GMB + Service Page + (no prior PR yet) | | Month 1, Week 2 | PR-002 | GMB + Service Page + PR-001 | | Month 1, Week 3 | PR-003 | GMB + Service Page + PR-002 | | Month 1, Week 4 | PR-004 | GMB + Service Page + PR-003 | | Month 2, Week 1 | PR-005 | GMB + Service Page 2 + PR-004 |

Track chain in a simple log:

PR CHAIN LOG:
PR-001: [URL on Press Advantage] | Published: [date] | Links: GMB, /service-page/
PR-002: [URL on Press Advantage] | Published: [date] | Links: GMB, /service-page/, PR-001
...

Mode 4: Multi-Location

For businesses with multiple locations, each location gets its own PR chain:

  • Separate GMB link per location
  • Separate location-specific service page as Link 2
  • Chain stays within location (Location A PRs chain to Location A PRs)

Do not cross-chain locations — cross-linking PR chains dilutes the geo-signal. Keep each location's authority chain isolated to its geography.

Distribution

Primary distribution: Press Advantage (pressadvantage.com)

Press Advantage includes:

  • AP distribution to 400+ news outlets
  • Google News indexation
  • Permanent indexed URL for the PR (this is Link 3 in the chain)
  • Local and industry category distribution

Submit 2-3 days after writing to allow for review and scheduling. Do not rush same-day submissions — editorial review takes 24-48 hours.
