You can’t start a digital PR campaign until your objectives are defined

In the olden times of public relations, the ‘spray and pray’ method of distributing your press release was effective enough; the desired results were as imprecise as the distribution efforts. But now it’s critical to your digital PR strategy to establish specific goals before you even begin. For instance, decide if you’re aiming to enhance trust among current customers or increase brand recognition.

Earning enough reputable links back to your site not only demonstrates brand authority to search engines like Google, but it will ultimately bring potential customers to your site, build your audience, and support your campaign goals.
