Examples of publications where we’ve secured editorial backlinks for clients:

Examples shown include both do-follow and no-follow editorial links, depending on publisher policy.

We only bill for links that meet our agreed DA threshold — no-follow coverage still delivers brand authority, entity trust, and secondary SEO value.

If you can relate, you’ve come to the right place!

• You’ve paid for backlinks that didn’t move rankings
• You’ve spent serious money on SEO with little to show for it
• DIY outreach hasn’t landed meaningful links
• You want authority — not spammy tactics

What Makes This Different (PR‑Led Links vs SEO Outreach)

Most link builders chase volume — mass outreach, recycled lists, PBNs and guest‑post networks that rarely hold long‑term value.

We’re a PR agency, not an SEO outreach shop.

Our links are earned through real editorial coverage — by pitching genuine expertise to journalists actively writing stories.

Why that matters:

Authority & trust — editorial sites naturally carry stronger credibility signals
Contextual relevance — links appear inside real articles, not contributor boxes
Longevity — earned media holds value long after SEO placements disappear

No spam. No shortcuts. Just earned media — the way journalists and search engines expect.

What Our Clients Say

Proud to be top-rated on TrustPilot.

What do you need from me?

After a decade in digital marketing and SEO, we know what works when it comes to link building. We've helped brands across many industries secure high-quality, impactful backlinks that drive real SEO results. The key to our success (and why we can offer such effective link building at a great value) is our honest, strategic approach—we’re upfront about the brands we can help, how we can help, and what we need from you to make it happen.

  • Backlinks are powerful, but they work best when your site is technically sound, user-friendly, and has content worth linking to. If your website isn’t ready to benefit from high-quality links, we’ll advise on improvements before kicking off outreach.

  • Many of the best backlinks come from expert commentary / media contributions. Having a founder, CEO, or industry expert who can provide insights makes it easier to secure high-authority links in top publications.

  • We focus on securing high-quality, relevant links that drive real SEO impact and this means crafting creative pitches. We aim for relevance to your exact niche, though some flexibility is required.

  • Quality link building isn’t an overnight fix or a bargain service. It requires strategic outreach, relationship-building, and content placement to secure good results. The more time and budget you invest, the more sustainable your SEO growth will be.

Still Have Questions? We’ve Got You

  • Yes — your brand needs to be PR-ready.

    This typically means:

    • A well-optimised website
    • A spokesperson or founder we can use for expert commentary
    • Openness to different story angles or media opportunities
    • The patience to allow PR outreach to work (links usually take a few months to land)

    Start by completing our short eligibility form.

    Based on your answers, the form may let you know straight away if we’re not the right fit. If it looks like a potential match, we’ll review your submission and come back to you with next steps or honest feedback.

    If it makes sense to move forward, we’ll invite you to a Google Meet to discuss the strategy.

  • The first step is to complete our short eligibility form.

    This helps us quickly understand your brand, what you’re hoping to achieve, and whether our PR Backlinks service is the right fit.

    If your brand looks like a good match, we’ll review your submission and come back to you with next steps. In many cases this includes a short Google Meet where we discuss the strategy and onboarding process.

  • No.

    We focus entirely on earned editorial media coverage, not paid placements. That means there are no additional media fees or hidden costs.

    You only pay for the links included in your order.

  • Very little.

    Once we confirm the service is a good fit, we’ll run a short onboarding call to collect the information and assets we need.

    After that, our team handles the writing, pitching and journalist outreach on your behalf.

  • We provide real-time media monitoring, so you’ll receive notifications when coverage is published and when links are secured.

    We also keep you updated as placements go live.

  • PR link building is a long-term SEO strategy.

    The first links often appear within 3–6 weeks, with full delivery typically completed within 2–6 months, depending on editorial timelines and your industry.

    The SEO benefits continue to build over time as these high-authority links strengthen your website’s credibility.

  • We focus on high-authority editorial media outlets.

    This includes:

    • national news publications
    • well-known online magazines
    • industry publications
    • trusted niche websites

    These are editorial backlinks within real articles, not spammy directories, link networks or private blog networks (PBNs).

  • No.

    Speed is critical in PR. Journalists receive a large volume of pitches, so being early often determines whether coverage is secured.

    Our team focuses on securing relevant editorial opportunities, ensuring your brand appears naturally within high-quality media coverage.

  • No.

    Journalists decide how they reference sources.

    In most cases they use branded anchor text, such as your company name or spokesperson.

    This creates natural editorial links, which are the safest and most effective for long-term SEO.

  • We begin pitching immediately, but journalists work on their own editorial schedules.

    Some stories publish quickly, while others take longer due to editorial timelines and publication processes.

    While links sometimes appear sooner, we can’t control when journalists publish their articles.

  • Yes.

    We guarantee an average Domain Rating (DR) of 70+ across billable links.

  • Our placements typically include a mix of Follow and NoFollow links, and we charge for both because both have real value.

    Google now treats nofollow as a hint rather than a strict rule, meaning these links can still contribute to SEO when they come from trusted editorial sources.

    Our links appear within real media coverage, not sponsored placements or guest posts.

    That means they are natural editorial links, which are exactly the kind of links Google values over time.

    This is one reason many SEO agencies across the UK, US and Canada white-label our service for their own clients.

  • If a syndicated article includes a link, we count one version toward your order.

    Additional versions will only count if they include a dofollow link.

  • Not usually.

    Most editorial links naturally point to your homepage or About page, as that’s typically how journalists reference sources when quoting experts or mentioning brands.

    Occasionally, journalists may link to another relevant page if it supports the story, but this is entirely at the journalist’s discretion.

    Because these are earned editorial links, we don’t control where journalists choose to link — which is also why these links are considered more natural and valuable for long-term SEO.

  • Yes.

    Many SEO agencies and marketing agencies white-label our PR Backlinks service, allowing them to deliver high-authority editorial links to their clients without building an in-house PR team.

  • Traditional link building often relies on guest posts, paid placements, link exchanges, or private blog networks (PBNs).

    PR backlinks are different because they come from earned editorial coverage.

    Instead of buying links or placing articles on SEO sites, we pitch expert insights and commentary to journalists who are already writing stories. When a journalist includes your insight, they often link back to your website as a source.

    This means PR backlinks are:

    • editorially earned
    • contextually relevant
    • published on trusted media websites
    • far harder for competitors to replicate

    Because of this, PR backlinks are widely considered one of the safest and most powerful forms of link building.

  • Editorial links are published on independent media websites, so technically the publisher always controls their content.

    However, because these links appear within editorial articles rather than paid placements, they tend to remain live long-term.

    In our experience, once an article is published, it usually stays online indefinitely unless the publisher removes or updates the story.

  • Yes.

    Many SEO agencies and digital marketing agencies white-label our PR Backlinks service for their own clients.

    Because these are earned editorial links from trusted publications, they complement traditional SEO strategies and help agencies secure higher-authority links that are difficult to obtain through standard outreach.

  • Possibly — but not easily.

    Journalists decide which brands to quote, and coverage depends on timing, story relevance, and the strength of the expert insight being provided.

    Because we pitch unique commentary and angles, coverage opportunities vary from brand to brand.

    Even when multiple brands appear in the same article, the editorial context and positioning will usually be different.

  • PR backlinks require real editorial coverage, not simply placing a link on a website.

    Each placement involves:

    • identifying relevant journalists
    • developing newsworthy angles
    • writing tailored pitches
    • securing editorial inclusion in a live article

    Because these links appear on high-authority media websites, they require significantly more expertise and effort to obtain than traditional SEO links.

    For that reason, PR backlinks are typically priced around $600–$1,000+ per link across the industry.

    Our service is designed to make these kinds of editorial links more accessible, which is why our pricing starts from $270 / £199 per link — significantly lower than most PR agencies.

    Despite the lower cost, the links are still earned editorial placements in trusted publications, which is why many SEO agencies across the UK, US and Canada white-label our service for their clients.
