-Let us see how online reputation management can be integrated to your SEO strategy
Online reputation Management involves constant interaction on a variety of platforms over the internet. These are platforms which have been created with the sole intention of providing additional value to the clients brand name by Brand Managers can be effectively used by SEOs for creating a very diverse link profile. The value of this link is extremely high as it comes from a domain which is related to the brand and has content which is completely in sync with the page it is linked to. The best part is having complete control over the contents of the page, and hence we can be assured of a good link value over time as well.
Speaking of links, the first chart above shows a typical distribution of links across various platforms over the internet. It is very apparent that most link building profiles are heavily skewed towards directories. It is safe to assume around 60% links built in an SEO campaign are directories, 30% through the means of blogs and articles. Any other source of link building is largely unexplored and the only incoming links are from social media platforms like twitter and you tube and may contribute to a mere 10%. With the help of Platforms used by brand monitoring experts, SEOs can explore new avenues for link building. We can ensure that at least 30% incoming links are created to the website with the help of these platforms.
It is necessary to now look at options which would populate the other’s column.. In other words, who are others?
Various sites which allow you to post content are as above. SEO’s need to be in sync with with online brand monitoring to keep exploring various avenues to build quality links. Taking the ideal case and building only one link per platform will allow to build links from a variety of platforms. A few of these platforms have the potential to draw referral traffic to your website as well and hence should not be ignored.

The graph is pretty self explanatory. The pie chart shows the potential link diversity which any profile can have. By exploring only a few platforms, we can see that there is a large variation in the incoming link profile. Over time, as we keep discovering new avenues of link building, the variety of links will only diversify further, thus ending dependency on paid blogs and directories.
The links look good. But is it practically feasible? Is there a way to sync up the activities of SEO and ORM which will help both?
This can be achieved with the help of a 3 – step process. IdentifySegregateMap
SEOs have a list of keywords for which rankings are monitored on a regular basis. These keywords are the backbone of every campaign. More often than not, link building is governed by only ranking potential of a particular keyword. Links are built to promote websites for high search volume keywords with the help of irrelevant paid links. This is ok in the short run but makes the website prone to penalties. The simplest analogy drawn is “More links = better rankings=better traffic”.While this is true to an extent, quality of links always matter in the long run. Having a very natural and diverse link profile will help secure the website from link penalties of any kind. Links from within content can be assumed to provide more quality than a directory link as it has very relevant content surrounding the link.The difficult part here becomes posting content relevant to the content on the landing page of the site. It will not be practically feasible to manage 100 different themes for content and randomly post it on various platforms across the internet. The simple solution would be segregating.Segregation can be made according to logical categorization of every campaign. For e.g. , for any general campaign, I may segregate keywords on the basis of what a user might search in a particular phase of a buying cycle. For every keyword and phase, I map one or more URLs which I need to promote for those set of keywords.
Once the URLs are properly mapped, the ball is in the other court. The SEO can now relax and let brand monitoring team take charge of the situation.
As Online Reputation Management requires a lot of content to be published on various platforms, the mapping data provides ample suggestions for them to have dedicated content themes on various sites.Reputation managers now have themes, keywords and reference URLs to publish and promote.So ideally, this is a win win situation for everyone
The overall process of how SEO and Reputation Managers can have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Sample sheet which SEOs can provide the Reputation Managers.
Let’s take a look at how social media can impact SEO
Typical Steps involved in an SMO campaign SEO has little or no control over the first two phases During channel identification, SMO will generally give higher importance to those channels which have a higher brand presence On the other hand, SEO will identify those channels which have a higher theme presence i.e. the more mentions of terms/keywords which identify with the theme or business objective of the website Give content recommendations on the basis of SEO keyword mapping document. Again, SMO will give more weight to content having brand mentions and keyword theming will not be a high priority for them
Measure brand popularity over different social platforms Target a few platforms which have highest brand mentions and positive brand sentiments
Brand keyword association with positive sentiments Compare data from Insights & these tools to correlate search trends with user sentiments and target keywords which fall under this set Build content partnerships as in ORM Provide keyword mapping document
URL Shortners Surround your shared links with relevant keywords or hash tags Paid social links, e.g. - SponsoredTweets.com Link pages other than the homepage as per keyword mapping document – e.g. Twitter
Social bookmarking websites get cached very frequently Can integrate it with dynamic sections of the websites such as the ‘News Section’. In this case, headers on these pages will be used as titles in bookmarking sites and hence the headers need to be optimized accordingly
Need to measure the impact of social media SEO on traffic Increase in traffic from referral sources need to be correlated with links built on these social platforms. In addition, an SMO => rank correlation also needs to be determined. Multichannel funnels can be useful in tracking such causal chains using assisted conversions. Create custom channel groupings in new GA based and track the number of assisted conversions from these channels.
