Social media helps you show up—but PR helps you stand out.
If you're a coach relying only on content and algorithms, you're missing the credibility that comes from third-party validation.
Here’s why understanding social media PR is essential—and how both work together to grow your coaching brand.—and how they serve very different roles in growing your coaching brand.
Anyone can post on Instagram. Not everyone gets featured in Forbes or Yahoo.
Social is about access. PR is about authority.
You need both—but only PR builds the kind of trust that moves high-value clients to action.
Likes are great—but they don’t equal credibility.
PR helps you get featured in articles, podcasts, or news stories that position you as a trusted expert.
This is proof clients can Google—and trust.
Social media is real-time. PR is long-term.
One press feature can live on Google and build SEO and authority for years, while social posts get buried after 48 hours.
PR builds a public record of success that scales with you.
You don’t need to choose one.
Use social media to amplify your PR features, share expert quotes, and reinforce your credibility.
This creates a flywheel effect—where trust and visibility feed each other.
When leads come from social, they’re often still skeptical.
When leads come after seeing you in respected media, they’re warmer, more qualified, and more likely to convert.

If you’re a coach relying only on social content, you’re leaving trust on the table.
