Let McDougall Interactive Optimize Your Online Public Relations
Online public relations, when done right, can increase targeted traffic to your website. How? A great press release, submitted to the right venues, can prompt others to share your press release on their websites, blogs, and social media pages – leading to a viral effect and increasing your website's search engine rankings.
Not to mention actual news media exposure! One of the big issues bloggers and journalists face is finding great news regularly. They are on deadlines and need stories fast, and in the modern PR landscape, Google is their main tool. A business that posts timely, news-worthy online press releases and ranks well in search engine results has a real chance of making it into the news.
Online PR and SEO Go Hand In Hand
Offline PR can drive potential customers to your website, but more and more people are using Google and other search engines to find the companies, products, and services they hear about offline. The more news you make, the more likely it is that you will turn up in search engine results. In other words, the key is to make your news easy for journalists, bloggers, and consumers to find.
64% of journalists report that they use either Google or Yahoo! news services, and nearly half of all journalists reported visiting a corporate website or online newsroom at least once a week. Search really is a great method for finding news, and McDougall Interactive can work one-on-one with your marketing staff to take your online PR to the next level ensuring that your news is on top.
