Get featured in local press or community publication

weeksImpact: criticalEffort: high

Getting featured in local press or a community publication is real, earned coverage from a genuine local media source, distinct from anything self-published, carrying real local credibility.

Local press coverage reaches an established local audience and carries independent validation that self-promotion cannot replicate.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Identify a genuine, timely local angle
    A milestone, community involvement, or locally-relevant news.
  2. 2
    Pitch local journalists or publications directly
    A specific, relevant pitch, not a generic press release.
  3. 3
    Follow up appropriately
    A single respectful follow-up is normal.
