SEO / Digital PR: Can you build a symbiotic relationship with journalists? 💭
With the growing volume of HARO and digital PR pitches that are happening in 2024, you might catch yourself thinking:
“Why would a journalist get back to me? They’ve probably been contacted by 100’s of SEOs.”
And, while this might be true, also remember: journalists need people like us.
An (informed) SEO has the ability to add immense value to journalists, by:
1. Delivering ideas quickly they may not have time to source themselves.
2. Introducing a variety of influences in their beat and outside industries.
3. Getting them stories faster can help journalists meet their quotas faster.
4. Understanding the journalistic publishing process helps them do their jobs.
If you can conceptually meet these 4 points, you can drastically influence how you approach digital PR, pitching and link building.
And never forget, always aim to build a collaborative and symbiotic relationship.
