LONDON (RPRN) 5/15/2009— PR Company Punch Communications has, through its unrivaled knowledge of search engine optimisation (SEO), reached the number one slot on Google in the USA for the search term ‘UK PR Agency’.

Punch already has experience working with major clients based in the USA and it is anticipated that the new Google positioning will increase interest from US businesses looking to expand in to the UK.

Pete Goold, Founder and Managing Director of Punch Communications, commented: “Being number one in the US is quite an achievement. It’s certainly not been an easy process but I believe we know enough about SEO to retain the top stop in the US for some time now. We’re confident in our knowledge and ability with SEO so we’ve started to offer it as a new service to our clients to boost their traffic and expand their brand reach.”

Through various online and offline activities including networking, speaking at events, media distribution as well as SEO, Punch has raised its brand awareness amongst a number of vertical markets as well as advertise PR jobs within the company. Consequently, Punch has expanded 50% during the first half of 2009 and is looking to increase its workforce further with the search underway to find public relations specialists to complement the current team.

Pete continued: “Despite the economic turndown we are continuing to attract new clients from all fields of business and as a result, we are on the look out for new consultants, from Account Executives through to Account Directors, to join the team and ensure we offer all of our clients the highest possible standard of service at all times.”
