Link building

Digital PR services that earn coverage and links

The links that move rankings most are the ones you can’t buy: a mention in a respected publication because a journalist found your story or your expert useful. Our digital PR services create those stories, from data-led research to expert commentary, and pitch them to the right reporters. The result is coverage your customers read and links that build your site’s authority.

What it is

How digital PR services work

Digital PR combines traditional public relations with link building. Instead of asking sites for links, we give journalists something worth writing about: original data, a strong opinion from an expert, a useful tool or a timely reaction to news in your industry. When they cover it, they usually link to the source. Coverage also builds trust with customers, who are more likely to call a business they have seen quoted in a publication they read.

HARO link building is part of the picture. HARO, the service that sends journalists’ requests for sources, was retired in 2024 and relaunched under new ownership in 2025, and reporters also post requests on other platforms and on social media. We watch those requests for your topics and send fast, useful answers from your experts.

  • Competitors are quoted in the press and you aren’t
  • Your site has few links from respected publications
  • You have expertise or data nobody has seen
  • Link building has stalled with outreach alone
  • You want coverage your customers will read

In depth

Digital PR services in depth

What makes a story travel, and how we protect your reputation while we pitch it.

Stories journalists want to cover

Journalists ignore press releases about new hires and new offices. They respond to findings that surprise, numbers that answer a question their readers ask and experts who say something clear. We look for those angles in your business first, then build the campaign around them. Timing matters as much as the idea, so we plan around your industry’s calendar and react quickly when news breaks in your field.

HARO link building, done properly

Answering journalist requests works when the answers are quick, specific and genuinely expert. Generic replies sent to every request waste everyone’s time. We pick the requests that fit your expertise, write a short, quotable answer with your expert and send it while the request is still open.

Relevance over reach

A link from a respected trade publication can be worth more than a mention on a huge site your customers never visit. We plan target publications around your industry and your customers, and report on relevance as well as authority. We also look for local and regional publications when you serve a specific area, because those links and mentions support local search as well.

FAQ

Questions about digital PR services, answered

What are digital PR services?

They earn media coverage and links for your business by creating stories, data and expert commentary that journalists want to use, then pitching them to the right publications.

Is HARO still around?

Yes. HARO was retired in 2024 and relaunched under new ownership in 2025. Journalists also post requests on other platforms, which we monitor as well.

Can you promise coverage?

No one can promise what a journalist will publish. We increase the odds with strong stories, careful targeting and fast responses, and we report everything we pitch and earn.

How is digital PR different from link building?

Link building covers many methods, such as outreach, guest posts and citations. Digital PR focuses on earning coverage in publications through stories and expertise, which tends to bring the strongest links. The two work best together: digital PR for authority and coverage, other link building for steady, relevant links.

Do we need our own data?

It helps, but it isn’t required. We can run a survey, analyze public data or build on your experts’ knowledge.

How long do digital PR campaigns take?

A data-led campaign usually takes several weeks to prepare and pitch. Journalist requests can bring coverage within days. Results build over months.
