Brag a little to your followers and tell them about your new mention. Tag the author and publication too, and they may share it too. Encourage team members to reshare.

After your story is published, we will send you a badge you can add to your website homepage. This help build credibility to your venture, and can help with your SEO performance.

Show off your new mention by linking to it at the bottom of your email signature. Try: “Check out our most recent story in EmergingWhales!”

4) Utilize the story in your sales process

When emailing leads, use the mention as helpful content to answer questions. It could also come in handy to build credibility and inform perspective leads that receive email drip campaigns.

5) Write a preview of the article and post it to a press section of your site.

To get more eyes on your mention, write a short note about the article on your blog and then provide a link to the full article. You can also post a short snippet as long as you attribute it to the publication and link to the full article.
