We defined what digital PR is
We’ve been doing what they now call digital PR for 20 years. We helped shape and define the digital PR industry since the very first Google Penguin update created interest in using PR for SEO purposes and to help make sense of it all we wrote this helpful post to define what Digital PR is and how it can be measured.
Digital PR has come a long way since the Google Penguin update. Businesses now understand how digital PR can be used to increase their visibility, build relationships and boost search engine rankings. It is an effective tool for companies of all sizes as it doesn’t require large budgets or resources and can be handled in-house or outsourced to digital PR professionals.
At its core digital PR is about creating a digital presence for your business and building relationships with key journalists who can help to promote and share your content – and yes, earn important inbound links too. It is also about using the latest digital and SEO tools and techniques to create meaningful conversations and engagement with potential customers.
Digital PR tactics can include digital newsroom creation, newsjacking, surveys, digital press releases, influencer outreach, digital events and digital media monitoring. All of which can be used to increase your SEO visibility as well as creating buzz around your brand.
Ultimately links are still an important ranking factor but digital PR is also about connecting with potential customers online and driving them to take action. It’s an important element of digital marketing that should not be overlooked by any business looking to grow their online presence.

All Public Relations is digital PR now
In the modern age of PR, most public relations practitioners are now practicing digital PR. The question is whether most PR agencies know what they are doing and how to measure the outcomes. We’d argue that most of the industry is way behind in terms of their approach to digital PR.
Digital PR is media relations designed to secure online press coverage in media and blogs. The objective to drive brand awareness and reputation, but also to earn links and drive meaningful traffic to websites that convert into sale. This means creative media relations campaigns from time served PR practitioners, but delivered by people who know how online media is benefits clients and drives commercial outcomes. Digital PR is more than links and analytics.
