FAQs on Earned Media Opportunities for SEO and PR
1. What are earned media opportunities and why are they important for businesses?
Earned media refers to publicity gained through promotional efforts other than paid advertising, essentially media exposure that is "earned" through relationships, content creation, and engagement.
These opportunities are crucial for businesses because they can significantly boost your search engine optimization (SEO) and public relations (PR) efforts.
By being featured on external platforms like radio, TV, podcasts, magazines, or websites, you gain exposure to new audiences and build brand authority. This exposure, especially when linked back to your website, creates "power pages" – pages on your site that receive significant traffic and engagement.
2. How can I leverage earned media opportunities to benefit my website's SEO?
To effectively leverage earned media for SEO, it's essential to ensure that any features or mentions on external platforms directly link back to your website.
Instead of directing people straight to the platform where you were featured, guide them to your website first. On your website, you can have a dedicated page (a "power page") that highlights your earned media appearances.
This serves as the "first landing" for visitors, establishing your authority and allowing them to explore your content and offerings before clicking through to the external source for more context.
3. What is domain authority and why is it important when considering earned media opportunities?
Domain authority is a search engine ranking score that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine results pages (SERPs). When considering earned media opportunities, it is crucial to check the domain authority of the platform offering the feature.
A high domain authority indicates that the platform is credible and trusted by search engines. Getting featured on a website with a high domain authority means that the backlink you receive carries significant weight, positively impacting your own website's domain authority and overall SEO performance.
You can use tools like Ahrefs to check the domain authority of both potential media partners and your own website.
