What this service is
Digital PR earns links by giving journalists something they need: a statistic, a study, an expert who can explain something quickly, or a story with a genuine angle. The link is a by-product of coverage, which is why the results tend to be strong and difficult for competitors to replicate.
Campaigns start with the angle, not the link target. We develop something defensible, usually from original data, then pitch it to the reporters who cover that beat. Expect a spread of outcomes: some followed links, some brand mentions without links, and secondary pickups you did not pitch.

Key benefits
Links you cannot buy
Coverage on national and major trade titles is not purchasable. Earning it through a story is the only realistic route.
Multiplier effect
Strong campaigns get syndicated and referenced by other writers for months, producing links long after outreach ends.
Brand and entity value
Being quoted as a source shapes how your company is described across the web, which increasingly affects how AI systems summarise you.
Defensible methodology
Every statistic can be traced to a stated method, so a sceptical journalist gets an answer rather than a dead end.
Link placement
Links usually appear where the journalist cites your data or names your company as the source. We push for a link to the research page rather than the homepage, because that is where the citation logically belongs and it keeps the placement natural.
Quality and relevance
Success is measured in secured coverage on relevant titles, not emails sent. We prioritise publications your buyers actually read over vanity placements, and we report unlinked mentions honestly rather than hiding them, because they still shape brand perception and entity signals.
How ordering works
- 1
Angle development
We workshop several concepts against what your target publications have actually covered in the last year, then pick the strongest.
- 2
Data and asset build
We run the survey or analysis, write the methodology, produce visuals and build the landing page brief for the asset.
- 3
Tiered outreach
Priority titles are approached first with a short exclusive window, followed by a wider regional and trade push.
- 4
Coverage and reporting
We track every placement, chase unlinked mentions for attribution and report reach alongside link quality.
Who this suits
- Brands with access to interesting internal or industry data
- Companies needing coverage on titles that never sell placements
- Businesses building entity strength for AI and brand search
- Competitive niches where bought links are no longer differentiating

Digital PR Backlinks questions
A well-executed campaign typically earns coverage across ten to twenty outlets, of which roughly six in ten include a followed link. We give a range rather than a guarantee because editorial decisions are not ours to make, and any agency quoting an exact number is guessing.
Most companies have more than they think: product usage patterns, pricing trends, customer survey responses, operational statistics. Where nothing usable exists we can commission a survey, which is built into the Data Campaign package.
No. They still build brand recognition and strengthen how your company is described across the web, which matters for entity recognition and increasingly for AI-generated summaries. We also pursue attribution afterwards where the publication allows it.
A release announces something you did. Digital PR builds a story a journalist wants to tell, usually grounded in data about the wider market rather than about your company. Releases are faster and cheaper; PR campaigns earn stronger links.

Isabelle Moreau
CMO, France · 27 Feb 2026“They killed our first two ideas with evidence that nobody had covered similar angles. The third concept ran in eleven outlets including two we had chased for years.”

Ben Halvorsen
Head of Content, Denmark · 14 Jan 2026“The reactive commentary is the underrated part. Our CTO has been quoted six times this quarter simply because someone was watching the right feeds.”

Adaeze Obi
Marketing Director, United States · 23 Mar 2026“Slower start than expected while they learned our sector, then three placements in the final fortnight. Honest weekly updates throughout.”
