📰 What Are Media Rooms?
Media Rooms are branded press portals that display your published content in a professional and SEO-optimized format. This capability offers three tiers, each with different levels of control, branding, and publishing power, and is accessed through Authority Building > PR Distribution in your Search Atlas dashboard.
Media Rooms are a Signal Genesys feature — the press release distribution platform Search Atlas acquired, which has its own login and dashboard. When you set up Media Rooms through Search Atlas's Authority Building > PR Distribution area, you're using this same underlying Signal Genesys capability; Search Atlas does not offer a separate, independent Media Rooms feature outside of Signal Genesys.
🏆 Why Set Up All 3 Media Room Tiers?
Enabling all three tiers maximizes your brand's visibility across search engines and helps build authority by distributing your content across multiple domains.
- Tier 1: your default media room hosted on our platform domain
- Tier 2: a co-branded media room hosted on a subdomain of your business (e.g., media.yourwebsite.com)
- Tier 3: a fully white-labeled media room with advanced branding, hosted directly on your own custom domain
📋 Benefits of Setting Up All Three
- Tier 1 – hosting: platform domain. SEO value: moderate. Branding: limited. Best for: quick launch.
- Tier 2 – hosting: co-branded subdomain. SEO value: high. Branding: medium. Best for: enhanced authority.
- Tier 3 – hosting: white-labeled domain. SEO value: maximum. Branding: full control. Best for: ultimate customization.
