Improve visibility through link building

Online visibility can be the reason why your competitors have the upper hand, preventing potential customers from coming directly to you.  Google ranking is determined by a variety of factors, links being a crucial part. 

Links are important to increase the authority of your site, and indicate to Google that you should be ranking higher. The quantity of links, while important, is not as important as the quality. Therefore all links that are built should contribute positively to your link profile through relevancy and expertise.

Build authority, improve rankings

Your content is great, your SEO is up to scratch but you need to gain more authority? Then digital PR is what you need, and there are many ways to gain the authority you’re looking for. 

Catering to different needs, budgets and businesses, digital PR can vary from a large data-led visual campaign, to more traditional link building methods and even utilising experts within your business to comment and offer quotes to breaking news stories. 

Reactive methods of link building and outreaching existing content is an efficient way to build strong relevant links from top-tier publications.

Make your audience aware of a new product or service

While it’s exciting to be launching a new product or service, you need people to know about it. This is where digital PR comes in! Not only will digital PR assist in the brand awareness and brand building aspect of this, earning coverage in relevant publications to increase exposure but will also help to build authority, and therefore rankings. 

We can help with the launch of a new product or service by framing relevant stories, angles and ideas around the product to build the excitement and anticipation.

Our digital PR services

Digital PR offers multifaceted benefits. It amplifies brand visibility through strategic link building, bolstering SEO rankings. Timely press releases facilitate broader exposure for new product launches, fostering consumer engagement and sales. Consistent PR efforts cultivate brand awareness, enhancing credibility and trust. In essence, it’s a dynamic tool for holistic online presence and growth.

Link building

Link building plays a pivotal role in the wider organic strategy. Quality links signal authority to search engines, elevating rankings and driving targeted traffic.

Not only does each link we build in national and industry publications act as a pathway for potential leads, but also amplifies brand visibility and fosters conversions. Overall, link building is crucial for sustained online growth and profitability.

People PR

People PR is indispensable for highlighting business leaders’ expertise and thought leadership within their industry. By showcasing their insights, accomplishments, and vision, it elevates credibility, fosters trust, and cultivates strong industry relationships. This positions both the individual and the business as authorities, attracting opportunities, partnerships, and favorable public perception.

Product PR

Launching a new product? Digital PR can ignite widespread awareness and fuel early sales. Through strategic campaigns, it garners media coverage, social media buzz, and influencer endorsements, amplifying visibility.

Leveraging online platforms, it engages target audiences, stimulates interest, and converts leads into customers, laying a solid foundation for long-term success.

Reactive PR

Timely responses to trending news stories are vital for brand awareness and authority. By aligning with relevant topics, brands demonstrate relevance and industry expertise, fostering trust and credibility. Engaging in current conversations amplifies visibility, attracting new audiences, and solidifying the brand’s position as a thought leader in its field.

International PR

Building international links is critical for global SEO success. Diversifying links from various regions boosts search engine rankings, enhancing visibility and credibility worldwide. Targeting international audiences increases website traffic, expands market reach, and ultimately drives sales abroad, establishing a strong foothold in global markets for sustainable business growth.

Our strategies for getting links expand wider than just journalists and publications – there’s so many websites out there and we are experts at leveraging as many of them as possible that are relevant to your business! 

Converting existing brand mentions, utilising existing resources on your website and sharing with resource pages/’useful links’. We can also create resources that we believe will be ‘linkable’ – this is a great strategy to get high authority links from universities, government websites.

Reactive PR tactics for links Open Tabbed Content

Become a thought leader

We use traditional PR tactics to increase brand awareness whilst earning high authority links. 

We identify reactive news opportunities by monitoring media conversations relating to your industry and audience, as well as journalist requests for experts on our media database tools and twitter. We promote pre-approved quotes to relevant press titles in the interest of speed, and also can write comments on your behalf if opportunities are more unique or exclusive. 

We also regularly place thought leadership / byline articles for our clients in top publications – putting you in front of your target audience, establishing a trusted face behind your brand and earning highly relevant and authoritative links at the same time.

These reactive campaigns are fast moving and bespoke, reacting to already existing stories or trending topics. We create engaging press materials, linking back to a relevant page on your website. We did this to great effect for Rayden Solicitors. The reactive activity achieved:

  • 155 pieces of coverage for a reactive press release centred around educating parents on the legalities of going abroad whilst going through a divorce
  • 161 lead enquiries related to this reactive activity and influx of links

Frequently asked questions about Digital PR

What are the benefits of a digital PR agency?

Digital PR is a service that builds links and coverage to your site from online publications building authority and increasing organic rankings. However, while digital PR and SEO go hand in hand,  not all the benefits of digital PR are SEO related. Links help to build brand awareness, reach your target audience, establish trust and authority, even becoming a go-to for journalists, providing content to share on social media and achieve greater social media engagement.

Why do I need a digital PR agency?

Digital PR is key to building your brand, increasing the authority of your website and securing more online visibility. If you are looking to place your business in top-tier publications and in front of your target audience as well as build authority in your specific industry, then digital PR is the way to do it.

What are high quality links and coverage?

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.

How does digital PR work alongside traditional PR?

While traditional PR is very different from digital PR, there are some similarities. We believe in working alongside traditional PR teams to ensure the best results.

 

How does digital PR reporting work?

Digital PR reporting consists of tracking coverage and links, identifying domain rating, anchor text and level of coverage: whether it is a followed link, no-follow link or brand mention. Performance based metrics can be attributed to digital PR looking at organic traffic, keywords and health of your link profile.
