Digital PR for links, mentions and credibility

Journalists need sources, data and stories. Digital PR gives them those, and earns your business coverage in local and industry media that both Google and AI tools trust.

How I approach it

The honest version

Good PR starts with something genuinely worth covering: a survey of Alberta homeowners, a price index from your own data, a well-argued opinion on a local issue. I help you find it in what you already know.

Coverage builds more than links. A mention in respected local or trade media is exactly the kind of independent source AI assistants draw on when deciding who to recommend.

Tools I use

  • Muck Rack

Good questions

Digital PR FAQs.

Is digital PR expensive?

It is usually scoped as a campaign rather than a retainer. Expert-commentary work can fit inside a regular SEO retainer.

Do press releases help SEO?

Wire-distributed releases rarely do, because those links are usually nofollow. Pitching a real story to the right journalist does.

What if we get no coverage?

It happens. Campaigns are designed with several angles so one miss doesn't sink the effort, and I'll tell you honestly when a story isn't landing.
