What Is Digital PR for SEO?

Digital PR for SEO means earning coverage on sites that already have an audience, with links and mentions as the result. It works best when there is a story worth telling, which is why the good episodes here spend so long on ideas and so little on outreach templates.

Do Press Releases Help SEO?

Press releases help SEO when the release page itself ranks and gets read, says David G Quaid, not because of the link it carries. He says Google gives no ranking bump for putting one out, that a release should carry the phrase people search and leave the brand out of the headline, and that five cheap ones beat one costly one. The press release episode has the reasoning. Google's link spam policy lists optimized anchor text in press releases distributed on other sites, so keep the anchors plain.

How PR Helps GEO

PR helps GEO because AI answers lean on pages search engines already trust, and news sites and trade press are full of those. That is the case the brand mention videos here make, though they disagree on how far mentions go without links. David G Quaid and Edward Sturm take the idea further and talk through buying news sites outright.

How Often SEO Shows Cover PR

SEO shows cover PR less often than you might guess. The SEO TV index holds 136 videos and episodes on digital PR, press releases and brand mentions from 26 shows, and 48 of them are from the past 12 months.
