Press releases can do far more for SEO when treated as part of a living system instead of one-time events. By using Press Advantage organization pages as branded hubs, each new release reinforces your site’s authority, keeps pages fresh in search, and strengthens local signals through embedded Google Business Profiles and NAP data. In this guide, we’ll show exactly how to turn a simple organization page into an SEO engine that boosts rankings, link equity, and crawl frequency.

What an organization page is and why we use one
An organization page is a page on Press Advantage that lists all of a brand's press releases. It looks like an archive or blog roll. Each time we publish a release, the organization page updates. When we embed that organization page into other assets, those updates create fresh signals that bring search bots back to our pages.
We treat the organization page as an entity hub. It gathers signals like NAP, Google Business Profile, social pages, and links to the website. Instead of scattering notices across many sites, we concentrate brand signals on one page that we control. That makes link building cleaner and more focused.
How we integrate the organization page with an ID page
An ID page is usually a static landing page for a location or brand. We make it dynamic by embedding the Press Advantage organization page into it. The steps we follow are simple.
- Publish a press release on Press Advantage.
- Use the iframe version of the organization page when embedding. The iframe removes the extra header and makes the embed cleaner.
- Place the Press Advantage organization page iframe on the ID page so new releases show up on the ID page automatically.
- Include the ID page as a secondary embed on the Press Advantage organization page using the 1×1 pixel embed field. This gives the organization page a hidden link back to the ID page.
With this setup, publishing a new release updates the organization page, which is embedded on the ID page. That update acts like a refresh and gets search bots to crawl the ID page again. The static ID page now behaves like a dynamic page that gets regular attention from crawlers.

What to embed on the organization page
When we build the organization page, we add a few key items. These items give the page more power and connect it to the brand.
- Google Business Profile embed so the GBP is visible and gets citation value.
- NAP (name, address, phone) details to strengthen local signals.
- Link to the main website so authority flows back.
- Social profiles such as Facebook to add more references and citations.
- The ID page, added in the secondary embed field as the 1 by 1 pixel. This hidden embed gives another connection between the org feed and the main site.
- The iframe version of the organization page on the ID page, instead of the full page with header.
Each of these pieces creates a network of references that all point back to the brand. That network helps search engines see the brand as an entity with consistent information across multiple places.
Why this works better than a one-off release
Most people buy a press release on a wire and treat it like a single event. That has its place, but it often spreads signals thin. When we use an organization page, every release lives in one place. That does three big things for us:
- It concentrates link equity. When we link to the organization page, we power every release on that page, not just one copy sitting on a third-party site.
- It creates a clear target for stacks. In PR stacks we link to the Press Advantage release or to the organization page. This avoids spraying authority across many domains like Globe Newswire or Access Newswire.
- It makes our ID pages dynamic. Embedding the org feed on the ID page means new releases push updates into the ID page. That drives more frequent crawls and helps rankings.
Instead of relying on random copies that might be hosted across many sites, we keep the main copy and archive on Press Advantage. Then we use that copy as the central target in our link building and stacking. That focused approach multiplies the impact of every link and every release.
How link building changes when you use an organization page
When we build links, we want authority to stack up in one place. Here is how we change our process.
- Publish the initial release on Press Advantage and note its URL.
- In the next release in the stack, link back to the Press Advantage release URL or the organization page URL rather than linking out to Yahoo, Globe Newswire, or other syndication copies.
- Repeat for later releases so each one links back to the same Press Advantage domain or org page target.
- Build external links to the ID page and the Press Advantage organization page to further concentrate authority.
By using the Press Advantage URL as the focal point, we power up the whole cluster: the org feed, the individual releases, the embed on the ID page, and the site itself. This gives us cleaner stacks and stronger targets for our link equity.
Practical example
We had a client in a local service market who publishes regular announcements. We set up their Press Advantage organization page and embedded it on the ID page. We added the Google Business Profile and the NAP. Then, every new press release was published on Press Advantage and automatically showed on the ID page.
When we built links, we used the Press Advantage release as our target. The links flowed into the org page and into the ID page via the embed. Over time the ID page started ranking higher for local terms. The organization page itself also began to show up for branded searches. For little extra work, the client got a steady stream of signals and better crawl frequency.
Why we pick Press Advantage over some other services
Press Advantage gives us a clean organization page with an iframe option and a place for the secondary embed. That makes it easy to do the setup described above. While services like Globe Newswire and Access Newswire do syndication, they do not always provide the same embed and org page features we need for this approach.
In short, Press Advantage acts as a control center for our releases. It lets us keep a consistent, branded archive that we can point to. That control is what makes our stacks and link builds work better.
Does the organization page rank?
Yes. The organization page can rank. It looks like a normal webpage. It can be indexed and found in search. It also acts as an archive where each release has its own section. This makes the organization page useful both for users and search engines. When we build links to the org page, we boost the visibility of all related releases.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Publishing a release and forgetting to link the ID page. Always add the ID page to the secondary embed field on the organization page.
- Using the full organization page with header on the ID page. Use the iframe version to make the embed clean and avoid duplicative header content.
- Linking to random syndicated copies instead of the Press Advantage URL. Keep links focused on the org feed or the Press Advantage release URL.
- Not embedding the Google Business Profile and NAP. Those are simple pulls that add strong local signals when included.
Step by step checklist we follow
- Create or update the Press Advantage organization page for the brand.
- Add NAP and social links to the organization page.
- Add the ID page to the secondary embed field as the 1×1 pixel.
- Use the iframe version of the organization page to embed it on the ID page.
- Publish press releases on Press Advantage.
- Link subsequent releases back to the Press Advantage release URL or the organization page URL in the stack.
- Build external links to the ID page and the Press Advantage organization page.
- Monitor indexing and rankings, and publish new releases regularly to keep signals fresh.
How we measure success
We look at a few signals to know it is working.
- Increased crawl frequency to the ID page and org page.
- Improved rankings for local keywords tied to the location landing page.
- Higher visibility for branded searches that show the organization page or releases.
- Traffic coming from the Press Advantage pages and from the ID page after embedding.
Final thoughts
Press releases should not be one-off events. When we place releases on an organization page, add embeds, and make the org page the focal point for stacks, each release becomes part of a working system. That system boosts crawl frequency, focuses link equity, and gives us a clean target for link building. Use the iframe for embeddings, add the ID page as the hidden 1×1 embed, and always point stacks to the Press Advantage URLs. Small setup steps lead to ongoing gains without a lot of extra work.
How does an organization page help SEO more than a single press release on a wire?
An organization page keeps every release in one place, creates a hub with NAP and Google Business Profile embeds, and acts as a single target for link building. That concentrates link equity and makes the ID page more dynamic, which leads to more crawls and better chances to rank.
Where do we put the ID page in the Press Advantage settings?
Put the ID page in the secondary embed field as the 1 by 1 pixel. This creates a hidden connection back to the ID page so the org page and ID page are linked together.
Should we link to Globe Newswire or Press Advantage in PR stacks?
We link to Press Advantage or to the organization page in the stack. That keeps authority on one domain instead of spreading it across many syndication copies on other sites.
Can the organization page be embedded on a location landing page?
Yes. Use the iframe version of the organization page to embed it on the ID or location landing page. That way new releases show up on the landing page and make it act like a dynamic page.
Will this setup help local SEO for a small business?
Yes. Embedding the Google Business Profile and NAP on the organization page, then embedding that on the ID page, strengthens local signals. The frequent updates from new releases also get bots to crawl the ID page more often, which can help rankings.
