ATLANTA, November 22, 2005 � Softscribe Inc., a technology public relations
firm focused on driving sales for companies targeting the US government,
healthcare and hospitality markets, today announced a new
online PR product to fuel
clients� sales growth and leverage their marketing investments.
Softscribe also launched its new website today at http://www.softscribeinc.com
to introduce the offering.
The new signature service, KeywordCapitalSM
keyword phrase research, will be used by clients who want to draw more
qualified prospects to their websites by making their technology
public relations writing and websites more attractive to search engines.
Keywords or phrases relate to a particular topic; sales prospects often
type them into search engine browsers during the early stages of the technology
buying cycle. Softscribe�s KeywordCapitalSM
service develops a list of keyword phrases - based on competitiveness,
popularity and relevance - for which the largest numbers of people are
searching.
�Clients were asking, �How can more prospects find our company on the
Internet?� said Michael B. Squires, president of Softscribe Inc.
�During the past year, Softscribe has been aggressively learning how to
apply the principles of Search Engine Marketing to online PR. One
effective way is to use relevant keyword phrases in public relations writing
and on websites. You may think you know the words that describe what
you are selling, but are they the same words your sales prospects are using
to find you on the Internet? The research that goes into our KeywordCapital
product ensures they are the same.�
Jay Troutman, president of Aptech
Computer Systems, said, �We told Softscribe that if they were not exploring
Internet-based lead generation they ought to be, and were pleased to see
they anticipated our needs.� Aptech engaged Softscribe to implement
a long-term customer
story PR program in 2001 that resulted in boosted qualified inbound
sales leads and a 30% increase in |

Aptech also uses Softscribe�s new KeywordCapital product and its optimized
website writing program.

reaction on the Internet that pulls search engines to your site, � said
