Cision growth playbook

Write real descriptions for the 20 pages that matter most (homepage, CisionOne, AI Visibility, media monitoring, outreach, pricing, PR Newswire distribution, public sector) in the language buyers search with. Then give every case study a description built from its own result ("Bacardi grew earned media coverage 300%"). Run Cision's own AI Visibility dashboard on "Cision" before and after and publish the change.

The new product marketer is hired to own positioning and web content. A company selling AI visibility is judged by its own search snippets, and descriptions take hours to fix.

[ ] Homepage: replace "Cision Home"
[ ] /cisionone/: benefit, not title
[ ] /ai-visibility/: check and keep
[ ] /lp/cisionone-request-pricing/: packages and next step
[ ] PR Newswire distribution pages
[ ] Media monitoring, outreach, social pages
[ ] 24 case studies: one result each
[ ] CMS rule: no empty or duplicate descriptions
[ ] AI Visibility check on "Cision" before and after

Add /ai-visibility/ and every product page to the sitemap. Set test and thank-you pages to noindex and remove them from the sitemap; redirect the testing copy of the AI Visibility page to the real one. Add a monthly sitemap check to the web team's routine.

Search engines prioritise what the sitemap lists. Thank-you pages that rank also skip the form that creates leads.

• Campaign links point at thank-you pages

  Keep the pages live, only change indexing.

Cut the first step to email and company, enrich the rest from the email domain, and show a calendar for the right team to qualified visitors as soon as they submit. Keep the long form for gated content only. A/B test against the current form.

Fewer fields and instant booking raise demo rates on B2B sites, and the SDR team gets meetings instead of forms to chase.

Compress and resize the customer-story and resource images, reserve space for the webinar banner so it stops shifting the page, and review the 32 third-party tools: remove duplicates, load chat and testing tools after the first interaction, and name an owner for each.

A smoother page lifts form completion and avoids search penalties for poor page experience.

• Teams rely on each tool

  Agree a removal list with owners first.

Sort the 26 older case studies into update, merge or retire. Redirect retired ones to the closest current story, update the best five with current results, and add product and date tags so buyers can filter by CisionOne, PR Newswire or Brandwatch.

Publish one comparison page per rival: media database, monitoring coverage, AI visibility, social listening, distribution through PR Newswire, support and pricing approach, with a fair table, dated sources and a switching offer. Use the same content in sales competitor comparisons.

Comparison searches are late-stage and high intent, and AI assistants use these pages when asked "Cision or Meltwater?".

Offer a free one-page snapshot for one brand and two rivals: share of voice across three AI platforms, the top cited sources and one recommended action. Generate it from the product, deliver it by email, and have an SDR follow up within a day with a full demo.

A personal result is the strongest hook for a new category, and it turns the product itself into the lead magnet.

Offer an AI-readiness review at release submission: headline and summary clarity, facts and quotes that AI systems pick up, structured data, and target outlets that AI cites in the client's topic. Report a month later on where the release appeared in AI answers.

It adds value to each release, gives specialists a consultative upsell, and connects PR Newswire to the AI Visibility story.

Build landing pages for Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Greater China with local media reach, local customer examples and pricing contact, in English and Simplified or Traditional Chinese as fits. Match each ad group to its page and track cost per lead by market.

Local landing pages lift paid conversion, and Chinese-language pages open searches rivals ignore.

Send every PR Newswire customer a free coverage summary for their release from CisionOne monitoring, with a 14-day trial to track follow-up coverage and AI mentions. Route engaged accounts to Account Executives.

The release is a natural trigger, and showing coverage they cannot see elsewhere sells monitoring better than any ad.

Rewrite the page for that searcher: what replaced HARO-style requests in CisionOne Outreach, a short trial of journalist search, and a list of current journalist request options. Track visits and trials.

Searchers looking for HARO are PR professionals with a live need, and the page already ranks for that intent.
