Search engine optimization (SEO) and public relations (PR) are two powerful strategies that, when combined, can take your online visibility to the next level. Together, they amplify your reach, drive organic traffic, and enhance your brand’s reputation. At Otter PR, we specialize in integrating SEO with PR campaigns to ensure our clients dominate search results and stay top of mind.
How SEO and PR Work Together
- Driving High-Quality Backlinks: Media coverage is a goldmine for backlinks. When your PR team secures features in respected outlets like Forbes, TechCrunch, or The Wall Street Journal, those links back to your site boost your SEO authority. Search engines reward these trusted backlinks, pushing your website higher in search results.
- Optimized Press Releases: PR teams create press releases to share news, but SEO ensures they’re optimized with relevant keywords. This helps your content rank in searches and reach a larger audience.
- Keyword-Focused Thought Leadership: When PR places thought leadership pieces in online publications, using industry-specific keywords ensures the content ranks for topics your audience is searching for.
- Enhanced Brand Searches: PR campaigns generate buzz, driving people to search for your brand directly. These searches signal relevance to search engines, further boosting your rankings.
- Reputation Management: SEO ensures positive PR content ranks higher than any negative information. A well-executed SEO-PR partnership protects and enhances your online reputation.
