Unfamiliar markets

Some European countries are more familiar with digital PR than others and this can influence the strategy used to gain coverage. The team at Distinctly have expertise in outreaching to various markets and which approach is best suited. 

Where digital PR isn’t as prominent, there is a great emphasis on the value added for journalists. In these circumstances digital PR goes beyond link building as we can harness engagement, brand awareness and meaningful conversations.

Relevancy is the key when building authority and boosting online visibility. High quality coverage not only means publications with high domain ratings but also relevancy. 

Our integrity is key in how we select our target sites, choose what campaign ideas are relevant for a client and how we build our media lists. 

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

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.

We perform an in-depth audit of your existing blog content to identify opportunities that are already on your website for earning links and coverage. We repurpose this content for outreach to publications and websites, focussing it around trending topics or seasonal events and giving it a catchy newsworthy hook.

Frequently asked questions about international 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.

What are the benefits of exposure in multiple markets?

Quality is essential when building links and recent Google updates have highlighted this more than ever. Topical relevancy is a strong indicator that sees growth in online visibility positioning your business higher in rankings and more efficiently for localised searches. Gaining coverage in different markets can also help build brand awareness and exposure or even launch a new product offering in a new location. 

How do you overcome language and cultural differences?

The strategy for international link building has to be inclusive of all techniques with a focus on the bigger picture. This goes beyond link building, as digital PR professionals can harness authentic engagement, fortify brand awareness and drive meaningful conversions. This approach means outreach and concepts can be tailored to suit the country and even region being outreached to to maximise results.

How do you adapt strategies based on markets?

Our team of experts have an in-depth knowledge of how journalists receive and react to digital PR professionals and the best way to communicate and pitch stories. Bespoke media lists and press releases for each client and campaign ensures that the correct strategy is in place for the audience targeted.

 

Is media coverage and links guaranteed?

As much as we would love to guarantee links and coverage, it isn’t possible as all coverage is earned rather than paid. We do, however, commit to treating every client’s budget as our own and constantly strategising and pivoting to achieve the best results possible.
