Today I’m going to help you lift your public relations with three content marketing tools. Hopefully, this will get your work week off to a good start.

Public relations is key for SEO these days. After all, most everything a public relations professional writes end up being online. Why not optimize your press releases, case studies, blog posts, article submissions, and more, for Search Engine Results Pages (SERP)?

Here are my top three content marketing tools to help you lift your public relations. Let me know how they work out.

Identify which content is working well with BuzzSumo

Essentially, it’s a tool for research and monitoring. To explain it more simply, the platform discovers the most shared content on social media and identifies influencers connected to those subjects. You won’t waste time writing about what’s popular; instead, you can start with keyword phrases that highlight what you’re focusing on.

The “MozRank” is essentially a ranking system derived from SEOmoz’s logarithmically measurement system, based upon a 10-point ranking. The platform compares webpages to others and ranks their popularity. You can get a “Domain Authority” ranking up to 10, but generally speaking most websites are at 3, which is good. That’s how you rank on SERP’s in order of appearance. Find out how your site ranks today for free at this link.

Grow Your Search Traffic with Ahrefs

While you can do a lot with Ahrefs from running a website audit to exploring competitors and researching keywords – my most favorite feature is backlink research. There’s a free version you can check out at this link. As their site states, “Ahrefs has the second most active web crawler after Google, which means we have the best backlink database in the industry.”
