Bring your team to this must-attend media relations workshop.  You’ll leave this workshop with the skills to lift your messages to the top of search results and be the SEO expert for your organization.

The Pre-Conference Workshop on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, is from 1 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. with PR News' Digital PR Summit the day after on February 27, 2013. The SEO Workshop will be held at The Contemporary Jewish Museum, which is directly next to the Westin San Francisco where the Digital PR Summit will take place. 

As the idea of brands publishing content gains more prominence, the need to understand how search engines rank content has become an essential PR skill. Join PR News’ workshop, led by PR and SEO expert Sally Falkow of Meritus Media, to learn the latest tactics to ensure that your content is indexed properly and ranked well. Learn how to optimize all your content—including Web sites, press releases, blogs, social media content, images and video—and develop habits that keep your messages at the top of search results. 

This workshop will provide you with strategies to find and use the keywords and phrases people use to search for news and information about your brand and industry on the Web. Discover the right way to optimize your organization's Facebook page and YouTube videos for search; manage brand reputation by moving negative coverage further down search results; and how to measure the results of your efforts for senior management.

Google can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Where you show up in Google results determines how—or if—your messages are being heard. Google continues to change and update its algorithm and, with recent changes to semantic search, your website and online newsroom’s page rank and visits to your site could be affected in more ways than you realize.
