Digital PR

Digital PR is an online public relations strategy aimed at obtaining mentions, citations and coverage of your brand on third-party media and platforms recognized by AI engines as reliable sources.

Digital PR and GEO

Academic research shows that AI engines strongly favor "earned media" - third-party sources that talk about you independently - over content you produce yourself. That's why Digital PR is a fundamental pillar of GEO: AIs consider a press article or customer review as more credible than your own about page.
