PR Powered by SEO

This was a piece I originally wrote for AgencySide, and am reposting here as I felt it would provide additional exposure to the idea of PR agencies being backed by SEO support.

When a company hires a Public Relations agency, the expected outcome is more business and an improved image. One of the most important ways to accomplish this is by utilizing the internet for global public relations. However, no matter how well-written and thorough the website content is, without Search Engine Optimization (SEO), very few will ever read it.

Heighten Online Exposure

Public Relations agencies invariably work with a company’s online presence to create better exposure. They will write web content, interact with interested parties on social media sites, and enhance web design. As the agency seeks to promote their client’s internet presence, they have the ideal opportunity to incorporate SEO terminology, keywords, and backlinks that will elevate search engine status and create greater traffic. This is simple to accomplish for someone who knows even the basics of SEO techniques, and since the agency will be writing the content anyway, it takes very little additional time.

Promote Credibility

When using a search engine, most people seldom look beyond the first few provided links. At the most, they may venture onto the second available page, but rarely beyond that. In fact, 99% of searchers do not go beyond page three. Whether they realize it or not, readers associate credibility with search engine status. If a website appears at the top of the list, it is perceived as credible, regardless of the content of the page. Utilizing SEO thus gives a website an opportunity for instantaneous credibility. It is an easy way for agencies to achieve an otherwise challenging task.

Achieve Traffic Flow

Once a website begins to appear at the top of the Google food chain, traffic flow will rise dramatically. And that traffic can turn into valuable revenue for the company. Statistics clearly indicate that there is an inseparable link between website traffic and increased sales. According to Web SEO Analytics, around 3.5% of this traffic turns into sales. SEO is thus essential to achieving heightened traffic flow, and subsequently greater revenue.

Exceed Client Expectations

These days, clients expect their PR specialists to understand all of the available venues for elevating their business. And since the internet is the fastest growing marketing location, it is absolutely essential that agencies utilize this all-important venue. By employing SEO, agencies can quickly elevate their clients’ web exposure, promote their credibility, and achieve revenue-generating traffic flow. The client will be thrilled and will be more likely to promote their over-achieving agency!

    In my opinion public relations is completely different from search engine optimization. Public relations may incorporate elements of SEO, however SEO is a finely tuned skill and firms who specialize in SEO alone are more specialized and more likely to achieve top rankings.

Public relations are used to maintain a superior image of the company, to make brand consciousness or to cover up the wrong doings of a company.

    One thing SEOs need to always remember is that, no matter how aggressive your link-building or other SEO strategies, it’s ultimately the target page that matters. That’s why I don’t worry too much about “Black Hat” tactics like those that were (allegedly) employed by J.C. Penny. If the website doesn’t provide value to the searcher, it doesn’t matter anyway (no matter how high the particular website rises in page rank because of traffic).

    An excellent read! Thank you for the information Justin.

    We are trying to push our websites to the top for our main keywords at work and we have seen huge results from doing so! The more keywords that hit the top 5 in Google, the more leads we receive therefore, the more potential custom we get.

    SEO has to be one of the most important things to look at for any business who has (or should have) a website.

    As you noted above: “Once a website begins to appear at the top of the Google food chain, traffic flow will rise dramatically.” The numbers to support that are pretty stark. Studies have shown that the #1 position in Google for a given keyword receives around 42% of the clicks for that search term. The top 3 positions garner more than 60% of the clicks.

    Ignore SEO at your peril.

    It’s always interesting what people will tell you when they are trying to sell a product. These guys mention that they do not use blog comments for backlinks. I ran an seo spyglass to see what their linking strategy is, and I noticed a whole bunch of blog comments with high PR, some in the cosmetic surgery, and health related sites, and others from non related industries. I also noticed backlinks from article sites like ezine and articlealley. I also see some articles posted on wordpress sites. Not to mention that they have an aged domain name and I can see they have been building links at least since 2009.
