Florida Interactive PR Agency Introduces SEO/PR Audits

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2008 -- The Buyer Group (http://www.thebuyergroup.com) asks: What does online PR mean to a business? Answer? More than just an optimized press release. Can Google index your site? Is your online news optimized for today's journalists and bloggers? Does your Web site have good and useful content that is relevant to a user's search?

In a continuing effort to better serve new and existing clients, The Buyer Group (http://thebuyergroup.com/about-the-buyer-group)introduces SEO/PR reviews to help clients benchmark their search engine visibility and online public relations rankings.

"The relationship between public relations and search engine strategies is a close one," said Lisa Buyer, president of The Buyer Group, a leading interactive PR and branding agency (http://www.thebuyergroup.com/services) offering SEO/PR services. "Every page added to your Web site is a PR opportunity for the search engines. Companies looking to refine or define their position on the Internet should first do an analysis of the quality of online visibility and online public relations (http://www.thebuyergroup.com/public-relations) exposure."

The Buyer Group's SEO/PR reviews consist of six major components and clients are given a score out of 100 possible points. Sections such as "Meta Tag Review" and "Architectural Review" help clients see where they can improve on Web site elements such as site indexing and page labels, which will increase the odds of search engine retrieval. Page content is also reviewed, with an emphasis on key word placement.

"The integration of Search Engine Optimization and online PR efforts is an exciting and important evolution in our industry," said Joe Laratro, SEO expert and President of the South Florida Interactive Marketing Association (SFIMA). "When agencies can combine services with the proper expertise the resulting product has to be successful."
