Personal Digital PR Manager or Producer? Do You Need One?

Laurie Pehar Borsh Personal Digital PR Manager

 

Do you need a personal digital PR manager or producer? Yes, today’s professionals/entrepreneurs are much more informed about Digital PR, and online reputation management much more than ever before. Thanks to the many amazing coaching, classes and tools available today.

 

These coaches/classes are fantastic and offer lots of great information and ideas. But I have come to realize that many people come away with information overload. “Where to begin, what to say, when to do all this?” Most business professionals are either too busy, overwhelmed, even too nervous to start, or stick with a personal promotional effort (on and off-line), which is where I come in.

 

Simple, and effective digital PR production and management services

 

I recently reconnected with an old friend. She is an established realtor in an affluent area of Los Angeles. She asked me about my PR business and what I was doing these days. I told her that my main focus was to provide super simple, and effective digital PR production and management services for executives and professionals. Especially on the writing and promotion of personal brands online. 

 

She chimes in: “Oh my God, you mean you actually take on the social media stuff for your clients? They don’t have to do it all by themselves? I just took at Social Media Class – and it was packed with interesting and great information… but, it MADE MY HEAD SPIN!” 

 

Hiring a personal digital PR producer is cost-effective

 

1. Here is an Executive/Professional who understands “the need” for online promotion/reputation management — to keep everything up-to-date and current. and 2. Here is an Executive/Professional who (a) does not want to even deal with this whole online networking, PR initiative stuff, because she is overwhelmed and unfamiliar with it;  (b) because she has way too much on her plate already and (c) because she hates to self promote.  She couldn’t fathom talking about herself online, but she loved the idea of allowing me to act as her “Digital Publicist.” Help her connect with potential clients/business via traditional publicity and online promotion tactics. 

 

Robust online persona (PR) production and management are a must-have for everyone IN ANY STAGE OF THE GAME.

 

Personal digital PR manager in your corner to tell your story!

 

This is the way I see it: People hire stylists, landscapers, builders and housekeepers all the time.  My business is no different. Hiring a digital PR manager to produce/manage your online (and off-line) personal PR initiative is not so much a luxury, as it is a necessity. You have to be in it to win at it, as they say.   Build an (online) audience, and continue to build that audience to stay visible.  Whether you’re constantly looking for new business, customer retention, or job placement, if you build it and keep it built, they’ll come.

Online Reputation Management Help? Is it Actually Necessary?

online reputation management

 

Online reputation management (ORM) is necessary to control how people perceive you (and your business) on the Internet. Management tasks include reviews, ratings, comments, and other information that others post about you… and more. 

 

It also involves what you post.

 

That can include your specific comments on another person or company’s social media posts, blogs and online articles, as well as your own content including written and recorded (voice or video).

 

In other words, what you write about and how you write. ORM includes everything you do and put online!

 

Put a “human” in place who is well versed in all matters of public relations, crisis management, and public reputation management! Today’s public reputation, of course, is concentrated in all areas of the Internet: social media, directories, maps, and search engines. You need an actual human in your corner!

 

Why does online reputation management matter when it comes to business?

A positive online reputation helps build trust with customers and potential clients. Whether that is on a personal or company brand level.

 

In today’s digital age, online reputation management is increasingly important. Your online reputation is the way others perceive you online. This can include everything from the way you present yourself on social media to the way search results appear when someone looks you up online.

 

Managing your online reputation is about ensuring that the information that appears about you online is positive and accurate. That includes PR strategies, such as promoting positive content about yourself online and engaging in online reputation repair if negative content appears. By taking control of your online reputation, you can protect your personal and professional brand.

 

Online reputation management (ORM) is the process of managing what people say about you online. ORM includes monitoring your online presence, responding to negative comments, and removing inaccurate information. ORM’s goal is to ensure your online reputation is positive and accurate.

 

It’s no secret that online reputation management is important. In today’s digital age, our online presence can make or break our personal and professional lives. From job interviews to first dates, potential employers and partners are increasingly turning to the internet to learn more about us. It’s more important than ever to ensure that an online reputation is positive and reflective of who we really are.

 

Should online reputation management be automated?

Simply put, NO! Only a seasoned public relations professional will manage, monitor, and improve an online presence. This can involve everything from creating and maintaining a positive social media profile to responding to negative online reviews.

 

Your PR professional will use specific tools to track, monitor, and report all data points. Taking proactive steps with a professional to improve your reputation ensures you are putting your best foot forward online. No matter where or how someone finds you.

Why PR and SEO are Inherently Connected!

Yes! PR and SEO are and will forever remain connected.PR and SEO

 

Google continues to apply many ranking factors to organic search rankings. But backlinks remain one of the most fundamental aspects of SEO. And not only are these links still vital, but getting the “right kind” of backlink has become harder than ever. Why? Because you have to reach for backlinks from high authority sites and sites within your niche.

 

These are backlinks that are “editorially placed.” Which means specific links were placed in specific content because they offered value to the reader. This is earning, rather than simply winning a back link. And you have to work hard to earn media, as most public relations professionals attest to! Backlinks on high authority websites are, in my opinion, SEO GOLD for public relations professionals and the companies they represent.

 

Content is King, and so are Backlinks from High Authority Websites.

 

It’s all about the art of PR! After all, it is the job of PR to win or EARN media coverage, and that includes digital publications. We are finally attributing digital media publication placement as earned media! It’s about time! When you win a piece of earned media, the article usually includes a backlink to your website. These are your most valuable backlinks, because they’re editorially placed and in high authority or industry niche publication websites. Remember, “Content is King” as they say.

 

In this post “rank brain” world, Google places more emphasis on the quality of content than ever before. Let’s say you invest in creating a few core pages on your website. If you earn some high authority backlinks, you could be successful in ranking for a few broad keyword terms.  And to rank for as many keywords as possible to onboard organic traffic, you must invest in even more content. Meanwhile, public relations can continue to pump out quality content to win earned digital media placement. This means you can actually get way more value from combining your PR and SEO content efforts!

 

The Importance of a Digital Footprint.

 

A digital footprint is what a user finds on the first page of Google when they enter your brand name. That’s important, because it’s the first impression you make with the vast majority of people who engage with your brand!  You always want your website to be in the top spot, and your social profiles should also occupy some results. But to make a good impression, the average user will want to see more than just a nice website. For maximum credibility, people need to find mentions of your brand on high authority sites, i.e. publications or review sites.  This can propel you from an unknown entity into a credible business. This is what PR delivers!

 

While your digital footprint isn’t always quite the same thing as the SEO of your own websites, it’s all linked! The more earned media you win, the more backlinks you win, and the more our website ranking improves. Furthermore, the more articles mentioning your brand online, the more users can find you. And that equates to the exceptional personal or business brand visibility and credibility!
