The Essence of Digital PR for SEO

Digital PR is an alternative to link building.

Digital PR for SEO is more than link building, and that’s why it works to improve organic visibility and commercial page rankings.

  • Link building & brand mentions: Links and brand mentions together are a driving force in a site’s ability to rank in top positions.
  • EEAT development: Digital PR demonstrates the experience, expertise, authority and trust of a site and the individuals behind it.
  • Topical authority development: Instead of links directly to a page, digital PR increases a site’s topical relevancy to a given category.
  • Asset marketing: Create unique assets (e.g., unique research and data) instead of content that can earn media coverage.

Digital PR is different than link building. Digital PR builds links and brand mentions as a result of using a strategy called Digital PR for SEO.

DPR for SEO

Digital PR for SEO is a digital PR for SEO strategy that optimizes the digital PR process to earn links and brand mentions efficiently from local, national and trade media: podcasts and press.

These links and brand mentions are unique as they build overall site authority and EEAT, as press and podcasts are specialists at selecting experts and trusted sources to support their content.

Owned assets in digital PR include a specific type of content and resources that significantly enhance a brand’s ability to earn media and engage audiences.

DPR for SEO is specifically focused on data-driven assets:

  • Expert Commentary: Establishes thought leadership through insightful perspectives on industry-relevant topics.
  • Unique Research: Offers exclusive data, attracting attention and demonstrating commitment to industry advancement.
  • Trend Analysis: Identifies and analyzes industry trends, positioning the brand as forward-thinking and informative.
  • Market Insights: Digests complex data into actionable insights, saving audiences time and informing decisions.

These assets are marketed in the DPR process.

How DPR Works:

The DPR process involves identifying your expertise, analyzing media trends, creating valuable content assets based on these insights, and pitching them to media outlets with custom angles to earn high-quality links and mentions:

  1. Identify Expertise: Recognize areas of substantial expertise within your organization.
  2. Find Media Trends: Analyze the media landscape for trending topics and audience interests.
  3. Create PR research report: Develop content assets like expert commentary, research findings, and infographics based on identified expertise and trends.
  4. Pitch Custom Angles: Tailor pitches for media outlets, showcasing the unique insights your assets bring.

This course will guide you through marketing these assets effectively with digital PR tactics to capture the attention of journalists and generate links and brand mentions.
