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, backlinks being a crucial part. 

Backlinks are important to increase the authority of your site, and indicate to Google that you should be ranking higher. The quantity of backlinks, while important, is not as important as the quality. Therefore all backlinks that are built should contribute positively to your backlink 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.

Excel at crafting compelling narratives and ignite excitement and anticipation for new products/services Open Tabbed Content

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.

Become thought leaders

The expert knowledge and insight within your teams is second to none, keeping up to date with industry updates and being on the ball with the latest trends. You probably already have this and you’re probably already doing something about this, your online content. 

The digital PR team can conduct an Outreachable Content Audit on your blogs or news pages to analyse the depth/breadth of content that you have and if there is outreach value in those pieces. The content is already there, why not use it?

Data-led campaigns Open Tabbed Content

Create unique data-led campaigns

Includes various approaches like using ‘found’ datasets that are publicly available, creating our own authoritative datasets, sending Freedom of Information requests and analysing results, conducting surveys.

These campaigns are creative and unique, – they are authoritative stories that journalists love. We usually send out a press release that packages up the story, linking back to a full report on your website.

Link building Open Tabbed Content

Promote resources

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.

Outreachable content audit Open Tabbed Content

Repurpose your content

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 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 backlink profile.
