Not linking?

Brand mentions without a link back to your site do still hold a lot of value for awareness and exposure, but converting these to links can mean increased visibility and authority.

There are a lot of ways we can convert this unlinked coverage either as a one-off or as an ongoing service. When there is a no-follow link, we can also help convert this to a follow link for maximum success. We can work alongside internal PR teams to ensure there is no crossover in our outreach.
