On the 10th Day of Christmas, Spin Sucks gave to you 10 PR metrics, nine productivity tricks, eight communications podcasts, seven PR pros to follow, six SEO tricks, five breakable habits, four productivity tools, three AI experts, two PR trends, and one mindset shift in a pear tree.

Last week, I talked about six SEO strategies to help audiences discover your content.

That goes hand in hand with this week’s podcast on PR metrics.

Because if you can’t prove you’ve reached your goals, how can you show the value of your work?

If you’re anything like me, NOTHING gives you the holiday warm and fuzzies like a well-organized spreadsheet filled with up-to-date metrics all trending up and to the right. 

Even if they don’t set your eyes aglow with holiday glee, metrics are something you should track consistently, but they have to be the right kind of metrics.

No media impressions or AVEs here. No siree, bob!

They should be kind that give you usable information about whether or not your PESO model communications plan is delivering what matters to the CEO.

In most cases, that’s cold, hard cash.

PR Metrics that Matter

While owned media tends to be the most important place to start in a PESO model program, I’m going to talk about PR metrics that matter for each in order of the acronym.

Here’s what we cover:

Paid Media

  • Social media marketing ad conversions
  • Email database
  • Leads and conversions

Earned Media

  • Web performance
  • Media, blogger and influencer scoring

Shared Media

  • Rating system
  • Unique stuff (i.e. unique URLs, landing pages, coupons, discount codes, or even telephone numbers) 

Owned Media 

  • The vanities (e.g. unique visitors, time spent on the site, and bounce rate) 
  • Community
  • Sales

Get Good at PR Measurement and You Will Win

Get really good at measuring and analyzing these PR metrics.

They’ll let you know exactly how well your campaigns are doing, what you need more of and what you can let go, and generally help you communicate to your clients or bosses that their investment in PR is well worth it.

And that, my friends, is the ultimate goal.
