Embedding your Google Business Profile in press releases is an underrated tactic that signals authority and drives direct engagement.
Why It Works
When you distribute press releases, the GBP link gets picked up by news sites and aggregators. This creates backlinks and citations that Google sees as authority signals.
How to Do It
-
Include your GBP link in every press release. Add it in the company information section at the bottom.
-
Use the full GBP URL. Copy it directly from your Google Business Profile.
-
Distribute through UK PR networks. Use UK-specific PR distribution sites for maximum local impact.
-
Include NAP+W. Make sure your Name, Address, Phone, and Website are consistent with your GBP.
