They also added factors to account for a total reach calculation.

A new article is more respected than a paid advertisement and is much more likely to be read and thoughtfully considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 AVE lacks standardization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every PR platform generates the AVE formula slightly differently. This makes the measurement difficult to rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 AVE fails to provide qualitative data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AVE says nothing about the quality of the mention and doesn\u2019t accurately measure if a brand reached its target audience, engaged the article\u2019s readers, or delivered key messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 AVE doesn\u2019t provide sentiment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AVE may seem impressive until the sentiment is checked. That\u2019s because a brewing <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-crisis-management\/\">PR crisis<\/a> can generate a spike in mentions and (or better than) a positive piece of news coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 AVE sets unreachable goals for PR pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Media outlets may fluctuate their ad rates based on market factors and declining subscriptions, and these declining ad space rates unnaturally reduce PR value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\"><em>You can <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/app.prowly.com\/users\/signup\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">track AVE and its alternatives<\/a> in Prowly's <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-do-media-monitoring\/\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/how-to-do-media-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Media Monitoring<\/a>, which is seamlessly connected to the PR Reports tool to <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/pr-evaluation-top-metrics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make your campaign evaluation quicker<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-03627597 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>START TRACKING RELEVANT PR METRICS<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why is ave still used\">Why is AVE still used in Public Relations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most likely, because AVE remains a simple way to calculate the estimated value for an ad, and with clients insisting on reported value, PRs may find themselves relying on AVE more than they\u2019d like to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do any of these reasons sound familiar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The C-suite understands advertising better than PR, so they like to see advertising metrics in reported value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clients telling you they need some sort of number to show their boss so they can continue funding their PR efforts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almost always, the AVE number is a lot bigger than the cost of a campaign, meaning it\u2019s an easy way to justify a PR investment and impress a client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\"It\u2019s just easier to calculate AVE and be done with it!\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-03627597 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TRACK AVE AND ITS ALTERNATIVES IN PROWLY<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what are the alternatives\">What are the alternatives to AVE?
