Congratulations to our 2 winners of a free pass to the PRSA International Conference in Washington D.C.!
- Tia Peterson for “Is SEO the Missing Link In Your PR Strategy?“
- Catherine Lockey for “PR’s Kickin’ it “New School” with Social and SEO”
Thank you to everyone that entered! You will receive a copy of our eBook “Optimize: SEO for Public Relations.
With our roots in the public relations and media relations world, TopRank Online Marketing has a deep appreciation for the strategy, storytelling and networking skills that are essential for successful PR campaigns. We’ve also talked a lot here about the intersection of both SEO for PR and Social Media with PR. It’s an incredible combination that increases reach, engagement and delivers even more value to business than Media Relations alone.
On October 17th, I will be giving a pre-conference 1/2 day workshop on Search Engine Optimization for PR Professionals: SEO Boot Camp for Communicators where I’ll do a deep dive into the essentials of search engine optimization and social media, real-time search, content marketing, universal search and digital asset optimization. The workshop offers strategies, tactics, exercises and case studies that will equip you with knowledge that will bring you to the front of the pack when it comes to SEO, online reputation management and search engine dominance.
On October 18th I will be giving a 45 minute presentation on Social Media Optimization – both at the 2010 PRSA International conference in Washington D.C..
In fact, there are over 80 sessions within four tracks including keynotes by Charlene Li and Jeffrey Hayzlett (both are interview alumni of Online Marketing Blog). It’s the most significant Public Relations conference of the year.
Surely, any PR professional that can add SEO and Social Media Marketing skills to their mix is a even more valuable asset to their organization. Heck, even the PRSA uses SEO to add more value to its members by making content easier to find via search engines. Not everyone is in a situation to attend the PRSA International conference to gain these skills, but TopRank Online Marketing has a special opportunity for you:
