Has the PR industry missed the boat on the optimisation of web content to attract the attention of Google, more commonly known as search engine optimisation? The emergence of the multi-million pound search industry during the last decade suggests that may be the case.
Search agencies are increasingly packaging planning, content development and analytics, into a payment-by-results model. It's a compelling proposition for a marketing director that is seeking guaranteed outcomes.
Now search agencies are starting to use PR tactics such as press releases, bylined content and wire distribution to drive their campaigns prompting the scrutiny of the role of PR versus SEO.
This week's CIPR's Social Summer 2010 workshop will ask what the PR industry can do to regain ground on SEO. And whether social media, like SEO before it, will be the next missed opportunity for the PR industry.
Join participants from the PR and SEO industries to debate the issue on Thursday evening. The two-hour session will take place at the CIPR's HQ in London from 5pm. The cost is £10 on the door to cover beers and nibbles.
Hosted by Stephen Waddington and Phil Sheldrake.

Famous for "appropriating" the flood data held by the Environment Agency and representing it to the UK public in a much more usable Google maps mashup format, before the legal letters arrived and the issue hit the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
