Take advantage of Digital PR to enhance your brand awareness - Web professional urges Ghanaian SMEs

In an interview with The Ghanaian Standard reporter Francis Ahimah, Rev. Dennis Gyamfi Bediako, the CEO of EnspireFX Websites, emphasized the significance of Digital PR as a powerful strategy for Ghanaian businesses to elevate their brand's online presence and visibility.

Digital PR, similar in concept to traditional PR but with a broader reach, utilizes online methods to increase brand awareness and engage a vast audience that cannot be solely reached through offline means. This strategy relies on internet-based tactics such as search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, influencer marketing, and social media to establish strong connections with the target audience and initiate meaningful conversations.

"At EnspireFX Websites, we firmly believe that in today's digital landscape, businesses need to embrace the opportunities presented by Digital PR," Rev. Dennis stated. "The transformation of static information into interactive conversations enables companies to engage with their target audience at any time, day or night, facilitating a more rapid spread of news and information."

Distinguishing Digital PR and traditional PR, Rev. Dennis elucidated that while traditional PR centered on getting clients featured in print publications, Digital PR expands the marketing horizon by incorporating online avenues. This inclusive approach encompasses various online marketing possibilities, such as interviews with online publications, increasing online presence, and leveraging social media's interactive potential for sustainable growth and recognition.

Rev. Dennis highlighted the key components involved in Digital PR, including online press releases, building relationships with online journalists and bloggers to garner press coverage, business profiling, online reviews, and interviews. Additionally, he emphasized the significance of optimized press releases with relevant links back to a company's website, an essential aspect that benefits readers with access to more information and simultaneously enhances search rankings by securing high-authority links from reputable blogs and news sites.

Rev. Dennis Gyamfi Bediako underscored the overarching goal of Digital PR, which aligns with traditional PR - to enhance a brand's reputation and increase visibility among the target audience. However, the methods employed differ, as Digital PR leverages digital tools to build brand value, allowing businesses to stand out in the increasingly competitive digital arena.

Discussing the myriad advantages of a well-executed Digital PR campaign, Rev. Dennis highlighted several key benefits for brands including;

1. Increased Website Traffic: Frequent online mentions and visibility across various platforms drive more visitors to a brand's website.
2. Enhanced Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Publishing content on high-authority sites with backlinks to a website improves SEO rankings, leading to increased website traffic and potential leads or sales.
3. Establishing Authority in the Niche: By publishing high-quality content on authoritative platforms, a brand solidifies its credibility as a reliable source of information, thereby fostering trust.
4. Lead Generation and Sales: Higher brand visibility attracts an interested target audience, resulting in increased leads and potential sales.
5. Brand Image Improvement and Trust: Positive mentions and reviews contribute to an improved brand image, enhancing trust among your target audience.

Rev. Dennis also emphasized the role of content marketing in Digital PR campaigns, promoting the repurposing of existing content into various formats to widen its reach and reinforce a brand's authority. You can do this by offering the same content in different formats like displaying photos, videos, and articles, and publishing them on different platforms.
