Journalism outside of the UK

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

In markets where digital PR isn’t as prominent, we place 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.

 

You are looking to build stronger authority Open Tabbed Content

Building authority

One key aspect to look at when building authority and boosting online visibility is relevancy. High quality coverage not only means publications with high domain ratings but also a high degree of relevancy. 

Our team carefully target relevant sites, choose what campaign ideas are relevant for a client and how we build our media lists 

These relevant and high quality links are key to creating a healthy link profile leading to great organic visibility and rankings.

Depending on your businesses needs, objectives and budgets, digital PR can be scalable to suit all. Our team will conduct various audits to understand what strategy would be the best fit to achieve your goals, taking into account different forms of link building. 

After we consider the right strategy for you, we can sort a monthly retainer for your needs.

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 to build authority and increase organic rankings.

Recent Google updates have highlighted the importance of building quality links. Topical relevance is key in improving online visibility, positioning your business higher in ranking and localized searches. Gaining coverage in different markets can 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?

International link building has to focus on the bigger picture.  Digital PR can harness authentic engagement, boost 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 maximize results.
