HE DIGITAL PR LANDSCAPE

There's a new and powerful partnership driving the media world today: the integration of search engine optimization (SEO) and public relations. This partnership is the rich material that brand awareness, market reach and web presence is made of for enterprises, and the agencies that serve them. Over the past year or so, Google has released more than 15 updates that have ma

de Google’s preference for credible editorial clear: news content and social commentary are now searchable, while "spammy" content and too much advertising are penalized. There has been a remarkable migration away from mechanical treatment of SEO content towards the better ranking of natural, credible, content results, and the preference for mobile-friendly properties. THE TAKE-AWAY? GENUINE, CREDIBLE CONTENT HAS PREVAILED. The ranking of social content in search further ensures communications are coming out of the "social only," "digital only" and "PR only" silos and merging into an integrated, 360-degree communications model. Conversations and real content are the winners in today's web world. Which is terrific news for enterprises, agencies and causes with a real story to tell.

Public relations is emerging as search engine optimization’s strongest tool, and a must-have partner for any digital content or social strategy.”
