The digital age is changing how brands approach their marketing strategy and promote their products.
If consumers search the Internet and can’t find information about a specific company’s product, that brand is in trouble.
As a result of the ever-changing times, to improve the effectiveness of campaigns and increase awareness about their brands, search engine optimization (SEO) has become an important tool for communicators.
Creating strategies to make sure the consumers find content, ensuring that tactics used will increase purchasing power and effectively use social media to increase optimization are additional challenges PR pros now face.
At a recent PR News SEO webinar, Laura Kempke, senior VP at Schwartz, MSL, offered the following eight tips to maximize your brand’s SEO efforts:
-
