About The Harriman Group
PR Strategy and SEO
PR is about building perception, managing exposure and developing relationships with key influencers. Traffic is driven to your website through rankings, search terms, mentions on blogs and links from other online media. Social media is an evolving and powerful force that is fundamentally changing the traditional routines of PR agencies and practitioners.
Traditional and social media present a “both/and” rather than an “either/or” opportunity for media relations and customer engagement, defined by your SEO strategy, based on your keyword search terms. The Harriman Group will develop, drive and execute an SEO-based PR strategy, create compelling, optimized content and deliver the message across traditional, online and social media channels, extending brand awareness, driving traffic to your website and generating leads.

Pat Harriman
Pat Harriman - Principal
If content is king, then I am the queen of content creation. My background includes experience as a reporter for two Texas daily newspapers, the Athens Daily Review, where I won a journalism award, and the San Angelo Standard-Times. When I moved back to Dallas, the break-up of AT&T launched my technical writing career in telecommunications, computer hardware and software. I moved to California in 1990 where I discovered my passion - public relations. My PR experience encompasses high tech, corporate communications, and small to mid-size businesses and franchises in a variety of industries. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Texas at Dallas, and a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Redlands.

I cross-referenced the dates the press releases went out versus web hits and there is definitely a correlation. The visitors usually double within a day or so of the releases going out. So, they are working and driving people to us.
