Mentions vs Backlinks — What’s the Difference?
Backlinks are designed to boost SEO rankings directly.
Media mentions are designed to build brand authority, trust, visibility — and AI searchability.
With this service:
• Your brand is featured in real media outlets
• Many placements still include links (77% on average)
• All coverage contributes to brand signals, entity trust, and visibility across Google and AI search platforms (GEO)
If your priority is SEO rankings → choose PR Backlinks
If your priority is credibility, visibility, and brand authority → this service is ideal
If you want both → media mentions often deliver both

Meet the Team Behind the Brand Mentions
Hi there, I’m Riley — founder of No Strings PR.
With over seven years working across the UK and US, I’ve helped thousands of brands land coverage in real media outlets — not just for SEO, but for the credibility and visibility that comes from being featured in trusted publications.
At No Strings, we specialise in earned editorial media mentions from publications like Forbes, USA Today and MailOnline. These aren’t paid placements or guest posts — they’re genuine PR features, secured by journalists and ex-journalists who know exactly what the media is looking for.
These mentions help build brand authority, create powerful “As Seen In” moments, and strengthen your presence across search and AI platforms through consistent media citations.
We’re a family-run business with offices in London, NYC and Canada, and we handle everything for you — no outreach, no writing, no fluff.

The Strategy Behind Our Mentions: Expert Commentary
Our media outreach approach is rooted in a simple PR principle — offering genuine expertise to journalists who are already writing.
We combine expert commentary with proactive press release pitching, positioning our clients as credible sources while sharing insights, analysis, and expert guidance with the media.
When reporters need quotes, insights or analysis, we position our clients as trusted voices. Alongside this, we pitch press releases that showcase your expertise and reinforce your authority in your space.
When featured, your brand appears within trusted editorial content — often as a mention, and frequently with a citation or link.
This approach is:
• Editorially led
• Contextual
• Naturally integrated
• Far more credible than traditional PR distribution or paid placements
Fewer pitches. Higher hit rates. Stronger brand authority.

-
Securing Brand Mentions 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 growth will be.
Still Have Questions? We’ve Got You
-
Online Brand Media Mentions are earned editorial mentions of your brand in trusted online publications.
Instead of paying for advertorial placements or guest posts, our team pitches your brand, expertise, products, or stories to journalists who are already writing articles.
When your brand is included in the article, it appears as a media mention, and in many cases the journalist will also include a link to your website.
These mentions help build credibility, visibility, and authority across search engines and AI-powered search platforms.
-
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 mentions included in your order.
-
Often, yes.
Across all mentions we secure, around 79% include a link back to your website.
However, the primary goal of this service is brand visibility and editorial mentions, rather than guaranteed links.
If your main goal is building links specifically for SEO, our PR Backlinks service may be the better option.
-
We secure coverage across high-authority online publications, including:
• national news sites
• major online magazines
• consumer media outlets
• niche industry publicationsExamples of publications where our clients have appeared include titles such as Forbes, Newsweek, MailOnline and The Times, among many others.
-
Yes.
This service operates on a pay-per-result model, meaning you only pay for secured online mentions.
That makes it a good option for brands that want predictable outcomes without committing to a full PR retainer.
-
Very little.
We simply run a short onboarding call to collect the information and assets we need.
After that, our team handles the story development, writing, pitching and media outreach.
-
Media coverage takes time because journalists work on their own editorial schedules.
For most orders of four mentions, delivery typically takes between 2 and 6 months.
That said, the first mention often appears within the first few weeks, depending on how quickly journalists publish the stories we contribute to.
Because these are earned editorial placements, the exact timing ultimately depends on publication timelines and when journalists run their articles.
-
For this service, we primarily pitch brand expertise.
That means positioning your founder, spokesperson or subject-matter expert as a credible voice journalists can quote, reference or feature within their articles.
This often includes:
• expert commentary
• quotes and insights
• analysis or opinion on relevant topics
• interviews
• expert input within wider media featuresThe goal is to give journalists useful, credible expertise they can easily include in the stories they are already writing.
-
Yes.
Once your brand has been featured in an article, you can typically reference that publication in “As Seen In” media badges on your website or marketing materials.
This helps reinforce credibility with potential customers.
-
Yes.
Many SEO agencies and marketing agencies white-label our Online Brand Media Mentions service for their own clients.
This allows them to deliver media visibility and authority-building coverage without needing to run their own PR team.
-
Start by completing our short eligibility form.
It takes less than a minute and helps us assess whether this service is the right fit for your brand.
If everything looks like a good match, we’ll review your submission and come back to you with next steps.
-
Yes.
When your brand appears in trusted media publications, it sends strong credibility signals to search engines and AI search platforms.
Media mentions can help strengthen:
• brand authority
• search visibility
• entity recognition in AI search
• trust signals for customersEven when an article does not include a link, brand mentions in trusted media still contribute to long-term search visibility.
