Digital PR agency that earns coverage, not just links

As a digital PR agency for brands in sectors bound by an advertising code, we earn editorial coverage and authoritative links by landing data-led, newsworthy stories in credible publications, rather than chasing placements for their own sake. Every story is built to clear the code before it is pitched, so the brand gains authority, referral traffic and rankings without a retraction or a complaint to answer. It’s digital PR judged on the quality of the title, not the length of the list.

    Questions

    Regulated digital PR agency FAQs

    What is a digital PR agency?

    A digital PR agency earns editorial coverage and authoritative links through newsworthy campaigns. A regulated-industries specialist does that within each sector’s advertising code, so coverage builds authority without inviting a ruling.

    How is digital PR different in regulated sectors?

    What can be claimed is governed by the code, and brands are judged on where they appear. So campaigns are built to be both newsworthy and compliant, landing coverage in credible, relevant titles.

    How is digital PR different from link building?

    Digital PR earns coverage and links through newsworthy stories; link building is the broader discipline of growing authority through quality links. They overlap and we run both, often together.

    How do you measure digital PR?

    On the outcomes that matter: quality and relevance of coverage, authoritative links won, referral traffic and the rankings and conversions that follow, not just a raw placement count.

    Does digital PR work alongside your other services?

    Yes, Digital PR amplifies SEO and content and is strongest as part of an integrated campaign. You can see our full range of services to understand what else we can provide.

    What kind of PR coverage do you actually get?

    National and regional press, trade titles, and the consumer lifestyle desks that carry the categories our clients sell into. One Vera Clinic study syndicated across 26 UK newspaper titles from a single outreach round, each linking to the treatment page rather than the homepage.

    Will journalists cover a brand in a restricted category?

    They will cover a story, not a product. That distinction is the whole method: for Mega Pleasure, the team built a physical product designed to be covered, and for regulated lenders the angles avoided the product entirely so nothing needed a financial promotions assessment.

    Do you guarantee a number of links or placements?

    No. A guaranteed number invites the cheapest possible placements, which is the opposite of what a regulated brand needs. We agree the standard instead, editorial, relevant and on titles that would survive scrutiny, and report what landed.

    How long does a digital PR campaign take to land?

    A campaign is usually built, pitched and placed inside a quarter, with the compounding arriving later as coverage raises the ceiling on what the next round can achieve. That pattern is visible across the Stelrad campaign in our case studies.

    Do you handle reactive PR and commentary?

    Yes, though we are candid about when it works. Reacting to the same interest-rate announcement as every other finance brand competes with commentators the desks already use. Where a named in-house expert exists, building them into the programme tends to earn more than speed does.

    Does digital PR help with AI visibility?

    Materially, because assistants build answers from third-party sources rather than brand websites. Stelrad is now cited 2,391 times across 405 pages by AI systems on its own category, which is earned coverage doing work well beyond the original link.

    Who signs off the PR campaign before it goes out?

    You do, and in regulated sectors your compliance function usually does too. Angles, assets and the wording of any claim are agreed before a single journalist is contacted, because a story pulled after publication costs more than one delayed by a week.
