The Public Relations Blog

When analyzing a webpage for ranking, search engine algorithms look into what the page is about and how popular or authoritative its website and domain are. 

A website ranks for all the factors present on it, including content, keywords, meta title and description, videos, and images. Off-site factors, like backlinks, social signals, and outreach, determine how high it will rank on the search engine results pages (SERP).

Owned media describes channels you control. It’s the content you create for your website and blog as well as e-books, white papers, presentations, etc. You fully control the content and its distribution. (If you can add, edit, or delete the content, you probably own it.)

Shared media is social media. It’s evolving and continues to build beyond just marketing or the customer service teams using it. Organizations have begun to use it as their main source of communications internally and externally. Shared media includes publishing to social sites, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.

The term earned media describes news content featuring or sourcing your brand, products, or services. It is not paid media or advertising.

Earned media coverage comes from media relations and media outreach also known as media pitching. When successful, it leads to a news outlet including your company, product, service, expert, opinion, or ideas in a news story (print, radio, TV, web, podcast, etc.). This includes newspapers or industry trade publications (blogs, magazines, or websites) featuring, quoting, or mentioning your organization or experts. It’s appearing on a TV morning show or the evening news. It’s what most people think of when they think of PR. Some might call it “publicity.”
