A press page has two functions on a business’s website. Its primary purpose is to show off any press articles or videos that have mentioned the business. The secondary purpose of a press page is to provide journalists and media organizations with the means to easily learn about and contact the website owner. 


Nearly every kind of business and organization can benefit from a press page on their website, and digital marketing agencies should be sure to include one in any web design proposal they send to clients. Even if a small business hasn’t made it into the headlines yet, it pays to be prepared. Plus, setting up a press page is one of the basic steps of putting together any successful public relations initiative. If you assist a client with this task, there’s a better than fair chance they’ll ask you to help with other PR projects as well. 


Here are seven tips we hope you find helpful when creating press pages for your small business website customers.

1. Provide Comprehensive Information

Most websites have an “About Us” page on which businesses and organizations provide in-depth information about themselves. However, that’s not the only place that information belongs. Much of the same content belongs on the press page as well. Specifically, you want to include anything that would help provide context to what the business does and who the operators are. Adding comprehensive information on a press page helps journalists and editors find what they need easily without searching through several pages.

2. Provide Contact Information for a PRESS LIAISON

If a journalist or other media specialist wants to contact a small business with questions, they should be able to do so without too much trouble. A press page should include contact information for the person charged with fielding press questions.


As you can see in the press page example below, CastCoverz! clearly lists the contact information for the person who handles media queries well above the fold so it’s easy for page visitors to find.

3. Add Press Mentions, Editorials & Interviews

This section should be one of the most prominent areas of your press page. Journalists like working with businesses that like working with journalists. The more media hits you're able to show off on a press page, the more likely a journalist will be interested in featuring the site owner in a story.


Be sure to include any previous media mentions the business has obtained on the press page. These can take the form of interviews the business owner has given, editorials they've published, reviews from critics or anything else that name drops the site owner.


Having links to them all in one place gives any interested journalists plenty of background to work with.


Below is an example of how this can look from Mariah Magazine.

4. Include Press Releases

A press page isn’t just just a trophy case where a small business displays their press mentions — it’s a functional page that helps you generate more media attention. So with that in mind, consider adding all new press releases from the business to their press page. This informs a curious journalist right away about the latest goings-on and anything that might be considered newsworthy. 


The more you have to show, the more authority you build. The below press pages from Coca-Cola and FreshBooks are great examples of what this looks like in action.

5. Offer Downloadable Images

A journalist's job is to tell their audience a story. Stories are almost always more impactful and easier to communicate when there are beautiful images to go along with the text. When you create any press page for a small business websites, it is wise to include a plethora of beautiful images that depict the operators/owners, customer interactions, business locations and more. The more images there are for a journalist to readily choose from, the better.

6. Consider Press Kits

Offering a press kit ready for download on a press page is an easy way to ensure journalists receive all of the information you think they should have.


For example, Nicole Walters has an entire press page from which anyone can draw information. However, as you can see in the image below, she also includes a ready-made media kit (along with a bio and headshots) for download so any journalists can obtain all of her relevant information in just one click. No need to go searching across her site or the web.

7. Make Sure the Press Page Is Discoverable

Any journalist interested in featuring a small business should not have to dive deep into a website to find what they need. Once your press page is completed, you want to add links to it in prominent locations across the website. A good place to start is adding a link to the press page in a site’s footer, but if you really want to be aggressive it will also fit comfortably into most main site navigations. 


Marie Forleo’s website displays an excellent example of what this looks like in practice. By clicking on her dropdown menu, you can quickly locate the “Press & Media” tab and navigate to her press page without trouble.

Summing Up

When creating a press page for almost any website, remember to keep a healthy balance between text and visuals, update it with new materials as often as possible and follow all of the tips outlined in this post. If you do, this super useful page can help businesses and organizations generate a lot of fantastic opportunities for free publicity. And isn’t that great news?

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.

One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.
