Digital PR

Data-driven PR campaigns that earn media coverage and high-authority backlinks from news outlets, industry publications, and editorial sites.

What's Included

Everything you get with our Digital PR

Data Study Creation

Original research, surveys, and data analysis that give journalists something concrete to cite and link to.

Journalist Targeting

We identify reporters who cover your beat and have published on similar topics, then pitch them directly with a ready-to-use story.

Press Release Distribution

When the story warrants it, we distribute through wire services to maximize pickup across regional and national outlets.

Campaign Landing Pages

We build linkable asset pages on your site that house the data, making it easy for journalists to cite your domain directly.

Coverage Monitoring

Real-time tracking of every mention, link, and syndication so you see the full impact of each campaign.

How We Run Digital PR Campaigns

1

Story Angle Development

We identify newsworthy angles tied to your industry: trending topics, data gaps, contrarian takes, or seasonal hooks that journalists are actively covering.

2

Data & Asset Production

Our team produces the research, surveys, or analysis that forms the backbone of the story. We build a linkable asset on your domain to house the data.

3

Journalist Outreach

We pitch targeted journalists with a ready-to-publish angle, complete with data points, expert quotes, and visual assets they can embed directly in their articles.

4

Publication & Syndication Tracking

As coverage goes live, we monitor every placement, verify backlinks, and pursue syndication opportunities to maximize the campaign's reach.

5

Unlinked Mention Recovery

We scan all coverage for brand mentions that did not include a link, then contact the publication to request link insertion. This typically recovers 20-30% more links per campaign.

Key Benefits

DR 70-90+ Backlinks

News domains carry some of the highest domain ratings on the web. A single placement on a major outlet passes more authority than dozens of lower-DR guest posts.

Cascade Link Acquisition

When one outlet publishes your story, others syndicate or reference it. A single campaign can generate 15-50+ backlinks across multiple publications without additional outreach.

Brand Authority & Trust Signals

Being cited in major publications signals credibility to both Google and your prospective customers. These mentions build brand trust that no paid ad can replicate.

Unlinked Mention Conversion

PR coverage frequently generates brand mentions without links. We track every mention and follow up to convert unlinked references into dofollow backlinks.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

Moz: Ranking Factors Study

Links are one of the top 3 ranking factors, and pages ranking #1 have 2-3x more linking root domains than positions #2 through #10. Digital PR is the fastest path to high-DR links from unique domains.

Ahrefs: Zero-Traffic Pages Study

90.63% of pages get zero organic traffic from Google, largely because they lack backlinks. One successful digital PR campaign can produce more referring domains than a year of manual outreach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is digital PR different from traditional PR?

Traditional PR focuses on brand awareness and media impressions. Digital PR has the same goal but adds a measurable SEO outcome: backlinks. Every campaign is designed to generate coverage that includes a link to a specific page on your domain, so you get both the brand exposure and the ranking benefit.

What kind of publications can you get coverage in?

It depends on your industry and the story angle. We have placed stories in outlets ranging from niche trade publications (DR 50-60) to national news sites (DR 80-90+). The key variable is the quality and newsworthiness of the data or angle, not the size of your company.

How many links does a typical digital PR campaign generate?

A successful campaign typically earns 10-30 backlinks from unique domains. Exceptional campaigns that hit a trending topic or go viral can produce 50+. We set realistic targets based on your industry and the story angle before the campaign launches.

Do I need original data to run a digital PR campaign?

Not necessarily. We can produce the data through surveys, public dataset analysis, or proprietary research. If you already have internal data that could be newsworthy, such as customer trends, industry benchmarks, or usage statistics, that gives us an even stronger foundation to work with.
