DIGITAL PR SERVICES

Grow your visibility and authority online.

What is Digital PR?

Digital PR is a SEO marketing tactic designed to optimize a brand’s digital footprint.

Our simple definition is to increase brand mentions online. We accomplish this objective by strategically securing online placements through media relationships.

The difference between traditional PR and digital PR is that digital PR is purely online. Traditional PR prioritizes brand mentions in print magazines, radio interviews, and TV appearances. Digital PR devalues those opportunities if there isn’t a DoFollow backlink that comes with that opportunity.

In other words, Digital PR is a service that prioritizes external backlinks, brand mentions, and brand awareness online.

What’s a day to day look like? Here it is.
  • Develop deep relationships with digital influencers, content marketing managers, and website owners through email and social media platforms like Twitter & LinkedIn
  • Build media lists with attentiveness to site credibility, page relevance, and site overlap
  • Conduct extensive backlink audits of clients and competitors to identify placement opportunities
  • Work with Director of SEO to create content once placement opportunities are secured
  • Distinguish good and bad placement opportunities with the help of SEO tools like Ahrefs and Majestic
  • Manage a team of freelancers to ensure client deliverables are met in Asana, our project management platform
  • Monitor keyword alerts and conduct timely outreach to increase referral traffic and external links to client websites
  • Evaluate and reply to HARO opportunities for timely and relevant placements
  • Execute periodic digital promotion campaigns using email marketing, social media, and paid ads to reach the right influencers
  • Identify and submit to profiles, directories, Wikipedia pages, and PR submission sites to increase client brand awareness

We believe Digital PR is the number one ranking determinant in Google’s algorithm.

Why? Because Google values authoritative, relevant external links. And, Google says that “brand” is the hardest thing to manipulate online…which leads us to believe that Google will factor in “brand” more and more in future algorithm updates.

Digital PR directly impacts both external links and brand mentions.

Therefore, Digital PR is one of the best ways to move up in search engine rankings. It’s important.

Trust, Content, and Participation.

We’ve built up the brand presence and site authorities for many different clients before. The engagements that work the best are the ones that trust us to evaluate opportunities, and act accordingly.

That, and content. Lots of great content and stories that other sites would take an interest in. That certainly makes the job of pitching media outlets much more successful.

Plus, participation. Digital PR sometimes has small windows of opportunity where we’ll need a quote for an outlet, or a questionnaire to be filled out. Clients who actively participate in our Digital PR campaigns are often times the most successful.
