Media is one of the most influential components of your digital marketing strategy. It’s a great way to improve or build your reputation and image. Media placements can be in the form of a magazine, online blog post, TV, radio, and so much more.

In reality, the main purpose of media is to increase exposure of a brand. However, it’s important to note that there are many other benefits to PR placements that often go unnoticed. If you have always thought that media placements are only meant for brand awareness, then we’re here to help you think otherwise!

SEO

Believe it or not, SEO can be the media’s best friend and vice versa. In order for your website to organically rank, you need to be getting reputable links from other authoritative sites. When we’re talking about media, there’s a linking opportunity within every placement. The link should drive someone back to your brand’s website. 

Web Traffic

Similarly to the way a link supports with SEO, it also supports driving traffic to your site. When the article is highly relevant and has a link to your brand, which any media placement should, you can look in Google Analytics to see data on the website traffic. I guarantee it will sky-rocket!

Trust

A great way to leverage your media placements is through a press page on your site, or for something as simple as saying “As Seen On…” followed by the publication name. Having this section on your website completely dedicated to your placements is a great way to highlight other brand’s that have mentioned or referred to your business. Not only does this instantly establish credibility to your brand, but it also establishes trust within the customer as well. As soon as your customer has trust in your brand, that is when they will buy your product.
