SEO PR and SMO

Push versus pull.

One of the best descriptions of media relations and public relations versus SEO PR is that it's "push versus pull". Media relations techniques such as sending out news releases are "pushing" the news toward reporters. Search engine optimization PR (SEO PR) uses tactics such as Internet distribution, RSS feeds, keyword optimization, and social media to "pull" the reporter and customer toward your site and your news.

SEO PR: Public Relations for Search Engine Optimization

Simply put, SEO PR is using the power of public relations techniques to improve your website's search rankings and pull readers toward your company's news. Generally speaking, SEO professionals dig into the code of your site to make it more visible and attractive to the search engines. In many cases, these SEO improvements are helpful. But, they're not enough. One of the biggest factors the search engines use in ranking a site is the number of incoming links to that site. That's where we come in, with content-building techniques such as blogging and corporate podcast production, and link-gathering techniques such as news release and article distribution.

How can we help you? Here's an example: When distributing a news release to the media in the traditional way, it starts with a a list of targeted media and a well-written release strategically created to maximize news value. However, using SEO PR techniques, it doesn't end there. We carefully choose keywords in your headline and body text, insert links with anchor text, and distribute the release via a number of sources on the Internet. These techniques build links back to your website, one of the leading factors in search engine rankings. Additionally, your release lands in front of reporters and potential customers via RSS feeds, social bookmarks, and news websites.
