When it comes to optimizing your website and getting higher rankings, combining SEO and PR tactics is a great approach. Let’s take a look at five ways you can combine both disciplines to achieve the best possible results.

It's no secret that public relations and search engine optimization are powerful tools in the digital marketing toolkit. But what if we could combine the two strategies to get even better results?

From leveraging the power of press releases to using data to optimize content, you'll learn how to supercharge your PR and SEO efforts to create an impactful marketing strategy. With this approach, you’ll be able to help your company expand, reach higher search engine rankings, and reach a far wider audience. 

Learn how search engines rank content, and how to use it to your benefit. 

Search engine optimization is a valuable asset to your company and its online presence. To take advantage of SEO perks, you need to understand how the process helps rank content within a search. 

Content is ranked in three different stages:

Hubspot research shows that 75% of internet users don’t look beyond the first page of search results. If you’re not in the top-ranking results, you’ll miss out on valuable web traffic, meaning losing leads and revenue for your company.

You can implement search engine optimization strategies to measure your digital marketing and improve search rankings. A robust SEO strategy can help you to rank more competitively and allow you to drive more web traffic.

Search engine optimization is an essential part of increasing domain authority.

Domain authority is a metric used to measure how well your website will place in a given search. Domain authority, also called DA, was first developed by Moz and will rank your website from zero to 100 in terms of search engine placement. Understanding how to effectively increase your domain authority ranking through search engine optimization is essential for positioning your website at the top of a potential customer’s search results.

Use these tips if you unexpectedly start ranking lower on search engine results pages. 

Search engines play a vital role in developing your brand. Your company experiences high growth when your rankings go up – more traffic, increased revenue, and higher brand awareness naturally come to you.

On the flip side, when your rankings drop, you are likely to experience a dip in both conversion and inquiries – something no B2B brand enjoys. If the latter part is bugging you lately, don’t panic. An abrupt drop in your website traffic can be remedied – investigate the issue to get things back on track.

Meta descriptions offer insight into what your page offers without reading your story. Here’s how to leverage it. 

Meta descriptions are a direct search engine ranking page ranking signal. However, many writers and search engine optimization experts fail to give them the attention they deserve.

A properly optimized meta description plays a key role in attracting visitors from search engines to visit your website. They are summaries, almost like small ads, optimized to assure web surfers they are headed toward the right content, to drive more visitor action, and to increase your click-through rate. If you want your meta descriptions to act as a hook to drive user intent, you should first be aware of these three meta description optimization mistakes.

With the large number of brands available to an even larger number of people, you have to find a way to reach your potential customers. The best way to do this is to create a list of SEO keywords for your company. 

SEO keywords are words or phrases that consumers type in a browser to find what they are looking for. You want to associate the phrases your target audience is using with your company or website. But to find the best keywords for your company, you must first conduct keyword research. 

Cut down on manual work and put your search engine optimization efforts on autopilot

Implementing the right search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to increase your website’s search engine ranking is no child’s play. While it requires consistent effort in well-researched keyword usage, SEO can significantly boost the organic traffic coming to your site. 

Over the years, SEO techniques have evolved to keep up with the changing times. Techniques that were relevant two decades ago are less likely to find any attention today. SEO automation is one such advancement that has enhanced the capabilities of web optimization.
