Google Ranking Secrets: How PR Guru Helps Brands Achieve #1 Through Digital PR

Being #1 on Google is the dream of every brand in today’s ever-changing digital landscape. We achieved the impossible for one of our clients at PR Guru, one of the leading digital PR agencies, by merging PR, SEO, and content marketing. Our client was a company in rapidly emerging growth that suffered from credibility and online visibility issues. With our experienced digital PR strategies, we were in a position to make them control search results as well as be a known authority in their industry.

Understanding the Challenge

Our client approached us with a common but very crucial problem: they had a great product and a properly functioning website but were unable to rank on the first page of Google for high-traffic terms in their niche. Their competitors were dominating search results, and it was difficult for them to achieve organic traffic. They lacked brand credibility, media coverage, and authoritative links—essentially, all the primary drivers of SEO success.

To do this, we crafted a digital PR campaign with three points of focus:

Building High-Quality Backlinks—Receiving backlinks from credible media and niche sites.

Increasing Brand Credibility—Using PR techniques to establish them as authority figures in their industry.

Creating SEO-Optimized Content—Creating high-ranking content that the target audience adored.

Our Digital PR Strategy

1. Building a Compelling Brand Story

We began with crafting the story of the brand so that it would be framed as newsworthy. An optimistic brand story allows writers and media to see worth in reporting on a brand. We aligned our client’s differentiators, success stories, and industry knowledge to craft a compelling PR pitch.

We also created an integrated brand messaging plan, which ensured that all media relations, press releases, and content pieces conveyed the brand’s purpose and values. Consistency helped ensure credibility and trust with media and potential customers.

2. Getting Media Coverage

With our strong media network, we used the brand’s story to reach top online publications, industry blogs, and news websites. We targeted getting them on high-authority websites with links back to their website. While this gave them credibility, this also told Google that the brand was a credible source.

Results:

Featured on over 20 high-authority media websites

Got authoritative backlinks from websites with Domain Authority (DA) of more than 60.

Improved domain authority by 15 points in half a year.

3. Thought Leadership & Guest Blogging

Positioned the brand founders as industry influencers by guest posting on authoritative pages. Thought leadership articles, consisting of expert thoughts, industry trends stories, and research studies, performed two jobs:

• Positioned the brand as the industry go-to space
• Acquired quality backlinks from niche-pertinent sites
  

Result:

• Guest-authored 15+ articles on niche websites
• Improved referral traffic by 45%.
• Greater website trust score and engagement rate

4. Press Releases & Newsjacking Online

We employed press releases online to announce product releases, alliances, and accomplishments to the world. We also made use of newsjacking—leveraging the brand material for matching prime-time news—to achieve media mention. For instance, when sector legislation was adjusted, we’d quickly create a piece of commentary by our client that we got out on the news websites in double-quick time.

Results:

• 10+ press releases distributed across top platforms
• Increased brand mentions in Google search
• Improved keyword positions for branded keywords

5. Influencer & Blogger Outreach

Niche bloggers and influencers were worked with to provide maximum brand visibility. Through incorporating the brand into their content, we acquired social proof and quality links. Influencer deals were secured through reviews, testimonials, and social media shoutouts.

We also convinced influencers to create long-form content that featured the brand’s products/services, further driving SEO performance.

Results:

• Worked with 30+ bloggers and influencers
• Increased engagement by 60%.
• Logged a 35% rise in social media-driven traffic to the site

6. SEO Content Optimization

Good PR coverage wasn’t sufficient—we had to make sure content was optimized for Google ranking signals. Our SEO specialists optimized on-page content, ensuring:

• Appropriate keyword placement on product pages and blog posts
• High-quality, long-form content that responded to the questions of individuals
• Optimized technical SEO (meta descriptions, alt tags, and structured data)
• Internal linking strategy for better website navigation and authority

Results:

• 120% organic traffic increase
• 35% drop in bounce rate
• Achieved multiple featured snippets in Google search results
• Ranked #1 on Google
• With consistent digital PR efforts, our client achieved what was once unattainable:
• Ranked #1 for several high-volume keywords
• Received 100+ high-quality backlinks
• Double their organic traffic within six months.
• Boosted brand credibility and recognition in their sector
• Developed long-term SEO success through consistent traffic growth.

Conclusion: Digital PR is the Key to SEO Success

We at PR Guru are strong believers in the fact that PR and SEO go hand in hand. Keyword optimization is not sufficient—brands need credibility, media coverage, and authoritative references to rank on Google. Through our wise digital PR campaigns, we were able to get our client ranked number one in search rankings and make them a thought leader in their industry.

The moral is that PR in cyberspace is a continuous process and not an isolated effort. By continuously seizing media, optimizing the content, and building good relationships, brands can establish long-term SEO success.
