Earn links with existing content

 If you are creating a lot of content to host on site or send in newsletters but it’s not being used to earn coverage, that’s where we come in. Content can have multiple purposes, one of those being earning links. 

We can use existing content on site to earn coverage utilising the data and research already conducted.

Maximise the benefits from link building

If your business naturally picks up a lot of press coverage but they’re not linking back to your site then there are ways we can convert this to coverage. While there is still value in brand mentions for awareness and exposure, converting these to links can mean increased visibility and authority. 

As a one-off or an ongoing service, we can work to convert unlinked coverage or coverage that is not followed to a followed link. We can work alongside internal PR teams to ensure no crossover and maximise the success of all outreach.

Become a thought leader

Making you an expert in your industry is one of the key objectives of digital PR building not only your online authority, but your brands. Combining in-depth knowledge of the media along with your expertise, we are able to position you as a thought leader in your space. 

Media relationships that we have built allow us to have first hand contact with publications looking for comments and quotes and we would look to ensure your business builds strong conversations with relevant journalists for comment.

Strengthen your website’s authority

Relevancy is at the heart of everything we do at Distinctly. High quality coverage and links means two things to us, is the coverage relevant and is it from a publication with a high domain rating? Our integrity is key in how we select our target publications, choose what campaign ideas are relevant for a client and how we build our media lists. We work closely with our SEO team to align our strategy and ensure work is maximising SEO results.

These links and earned coverage will see a healthy links profile leading to great organic visibility and rankings.

Frequently asked questions about our link building service

What industries do you build links in?

By looking at our clients and case studies, you can get a sense of the vast range of sectors that we work in. Our link building services have proven successful in any number of niche and specialist markets.

How much budget do you need for link building?

Client budgets typically range from £3,500 to £15,000 per month dependent on the scale and scope of activity. Different link building tactics require varying amounts of time and therefore the budget should be tailored to how you are looking to build links and how aggressive you are looking to be.

How do you gauge success of link building?

The links we build improve site authority and with it, your rankings. If you have target queries you would like to push up, we can dedicate link building campaigns to them and monitor as rankings rise in time.

What link building tactic is right for me?

This should be decided once an initial research phase has been completed. This process would entail a link audit of yourself and your direct competitors, an outreachable content audit and discovery meetings.

 

What is considered top-tier coverage?

Top-tier coverage is looking at two things when building links, the domain rating of the referring site and their authority and the relevancy of the publication.
