5WPR & RONN TOROSSIAN ON CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT



A client asked the other day why the bad news he had kept recurring on the first page of Google’s search, even after spending a lot of money to fight it.  It’s a common issue, and one that is hard to fight if you are not doing it the right way.  It requires a lot of writing, proper linking and posting to sites that rank as high or outrank the ones you are battling.  Then, the writing itself has to use the same spelling and wording as the phrases that carry the negative articles.
All of this takes intense and consistent writing and posting.  No small feat.  While it used to be that old news or bad news could readily disappear in time, the Internet has made that impossible.  Instead, the best we can often do is help push the bad news further down in searches.  Many PR firms today still focus on media, but of a public relations firm like 5WPR that works on media that drives the SEO properly is money today.
The CEO of 5WPR, Ronn Torossian, blogs daily, knows SEO and understands that it’s not enough to have a story written, but the stories need to be written, worded and placed in such a manner that it moves the optimization needle.
If a company’s name is misspelled in a negative article, you need to counter that with the same errors in positive pieces that outrank the ones in question.  Torossian understands that and his teams drive media that not only tell the clients’ tales, but enables the media gained to be used for higher purposes.
Your reputation is what will drive your life and career as you move through life; take care of it as you would any other valuables.  When looking for PR, use a firm that knows how best to defend and protect while also marketing your product or services to the world.
