FAQ

Digital PR questions

What is digital PR?

Digital PR is the practice of earning online coverage for a brand through stories that publications want to run. It uses data studies, expert commentary and useful tools as the source of the story. Each piece of coverage can bring a link, a brand mention and referral traffic, which supports search rankings and AI search visibility.

Is digital PR the same as link building?

Not exactly. Digital PR is one way to build links: it earns them through editorial coverage instead of asking site owners for links one at a time. It also earns brand mentions without links and reaches new audiences. Most link building programs combine digital PR with resource outreach and linkable assets.

Do you buy links or use PBNs?

No. We do not buy links, use private blog networks (PBNs), swap links or pass off sponsored posts as editorial coverage. Those tactics break Google's spam policies and can lead to links being ignored or to manual actions. Every placement we report was earned because a writer chose to cover the story or cite the source.

How does digital PR help with AI search?

Digital PR gives AI answer engines more credible third-party sources to draw on. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews often describe brands using news, trade and review sites rather than the brand's own pages. Coverage and mentions on those sites help these engines describe what you do, alongside the links that support classic rankings.

How do you report on digital PR results?

Every report lists each placement with the publication, the article URL, whether it links to you, the page it points to and the date it went live. We also track brand mentions, referral traffic in GA4 and ranking changes on the pages that gained links, so coverage can be tied to search results.
