7 Public Relations Brand Boosters
Here are 7 ways public relations firms can position you to appear everywhere in your market.
1. Guest Blog Posts- A post on WebMD, TechCrunch, Ins., Forbes, or any high-profile, high-traffic site positions you as THE Expert, drives increased traffic to your site, and builds backlinks naturally. A Blogger Outreach plan creates viable guest blog posting opportunities on the right high-profile sites.
2. Earn Website Backlinks- The signature block on the guest posts, social media shares, and other bloggers citing your blog posts generates backlinks to your site. Even with all the recent Google changes, backlinks remain a key element to landing top search engine rankings.
3. Likes, Re-Tweets, and PLUSES- Getting readers to Like, Share, Tweet, and PLUS your content is the new digital PR. It requires more than simply gathering a large number of Followers. It takes engagement with the right Influencers in your market who can help spread the word. Connecting with Influencers on social media takes time and effort. A savvy public relations firm can help introduce you.
4. Interviews- Sharing your insights and expertise on podcasts, HangOuts, and even radio and TV spots elevates your profile and the awareness of your mHealth brand. While guest blogging and a strong social media presence helps land online interview opportunities, typically a PR firm is needed to pave the way to land radio and TV gigs.
5. Talk of the Town- After your personal profile and brand awareness is raised from guest posts, social media, and interviews, now people are talking about you. You’re cited as the expert or the brand of choice on other blog posts, mentioned in social media, and cited in interviews of other industry leaders.
6. Industry Expert- You’ve now earned the Expert position in your market. Now, you are the Influencer. When journalist need an insight or quote for an article or interview, they call or email you. Or, you’re asked to contribute an article to a trade publication… and paid to do it.
7. Speaking Engagements- Attending industry events and trade shows is a big commitment. It requires travel time and time away from your business. It costs money for the travel, hotel, meals, and cost of the event.
What if all your expenses were covered and you were paid to lead a workshop or speak at HIMSS next year? A PR firm can position you to turn this goal into a reality.
Earning media exposure builds your personal profile and creates brand awareness for your firm. Without a plan and the right connections, it’s easy to spend lots of time, effort, and money on public relations and come away empty. A professional PR firm, a specialist in Mobile Health can help pave the way for you and your business.
