Accounting Firms Can Use Press Release Distribution to Market Their Companies during Tax Season & Beyond
Tax season is underway and from now until April 15, people all over the country will organize their information and file their taxes. Some people do it alone while others rely on the expertise of accountants to do the heavy lifting.
As people’s attention shifts to the tax mindset, accounting firms have a unique opportunity to capitalize and draw in more business.
Right now, your tax services are top of mind.
But, what about the rest of the year?
Those “off” months are the perfect time for accounting firms to place an emphasis on building online visibility with national press release distribution.
If you start now, you’ll be in a better position to generate new business by the time tax season rolls around next year.
So, how can you put press release distribution to work for your brand?

- Building brand awareness
- Driving traffic to a company website
- Generating leads
- Increasing revenue

These media mentions are like gasoline to your brand-building fire. That’s because earned media mentions in relevant publications provide companies with a number of benefits including:
Awareness – Earned media mentions help companies build relevant backlinks that can boost SEO performance and position the brand as an expert in their industry.
Targeting – Crafting compelling press releases that speak directly to a community is an impactful way to build a digital presence. Targeting relevant media placements empowers companies to niche down and speak directly to their target audiences.
