hello world!
No sales techniques here. I'll let you know what we can do for you. And if I don't think your website is right for Digital PR, I won't try and sell you anything you don't need.
Digital PR is the evolution of traditional PR for the search-first and AI-driven era. It’s not just about media coverage, it’s about earning authoritative backlinks, trusted mentions, and brand visibility across the platforms that influence both search engines and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT.
Unlike old-school PR, Digital PR blends media relations, SEO, data storytelling, expert commentary, and social amplification. The goal isn’t just to get seen — it’s to build online authority that strengthens rankings, drives organic traffic, and ensures your brand is surfaced when people turn to Google or AI tools for answers.
Digital PR is a strategic approach to building online authority, visibility, and trust. It combines the storytelling of traditional PR with the precision of SEO, data insights, and digital-first tactics.
Instead of relying only on press releases, Digital PR works across online publications, social media, industry blogs, search engines, and even AI-driven platforms like large language models (LLMs) — ensuring brands are surfaced wherever audiences are searching for answers.
At its core, Digital PR is about earning media coverage, authoritative backlinks, and brand mentions that not only build reputation but also strengthen long-term search performance.
Boost online visibility & search performance
Earn high-quality backlinks and mentions that help brands rank higher in search engines and appear more credibly in AI-driven answers.
Attract the right audience
Campaigns are designed to reach targeted demographics through stories and commentary that resonate with both customers and journalists.
Strengthen industry authority
By positioning brands as experts and thought leaders, Digital PR creates trust signals that matter to search engines, journalists, and potential customers.
Build media & influencer relationships
Digital PR isn’t transactional — it’s about creating lasting connections with journalists, editors, and industry voices who amplify stories.
Protect & enhance online reputation
Monitoring coverage, feedback, and online sentiment allows brands to manage issues quickly and demonstrate responsiveness.
Measure success through data
Every campaign can be tracked through SEO metrics, referral traffic, and media reach, giving clear insight into ROI and impact.
Digital PR today goes beyond simple outreach — it’s about building search authority, trusted coverage, and brand visibility across the channels that shape reputation. Our approach blends data-driven storytelling, journalist-first campaigns, and SEO expertise, ensuring clients earn placements that matter both to people and to algorithms.
We focus on four core strategies: Creative Campaigns, Expert Commentary, Data Storytelling, and SEO Integration.
We design newsworthy, attention-grabbing ideas that spark conversation, generate backlinks, and land coverage in top-tier publications.
Reactive and proactive campaigns tailored to media agendas.
Content that blends PR hooks with SEO opportunities.
Stories journalists want to run, not templated outreach.
We position brands and their people as go-to experts in their fields.
Quick-turnaround reactive PR to break into trending news cycles.
Opinion pieces, commentary, and quotes journalists can trust.
Authority-building that strengthens reputation both online and offline.
We use surveys, consumer insights, and proprietary data to create stories that cut through the noise.
Data-led narratives that deliver credibility.
Strong hooks that journalists rely on for original content.
Statistics that fuel both media coverage and SEO-friendly content.
Every PR campaign we run is designed with search visibility in mind.
Earned links from high-authority publications boost domain authority.
Strategic keyword targeting ensures PR feeds directly into SEO.
Mentions and coverage enhance how brands surface in search engines and large language models (LLMs).
Digital PR only works if it delivers results. That means tracking what matters — not vanity metrics — and tying campaigns back to SEO growth, authority, and brand visibility.
The benchmarks we focus on depend on the brief, but typically include:
Quality of backlinks – Are we winning links from trusted publications that move the needle in search?
Search visibility – Are keyword rankings, organic traffic, and branded search improving?
Referral traffic – Do the placements actually send engaged visitors to your site?
Media coverage – How many journalists are writing about you, and in what context?
Commercial impact – Are PR wins feeding leads, enquiries, or sales?
We keep a constant eye on performance so we can move fast when opportunities or issues crop up. That includes:
Tracking coverage and journalist interactions.
Watching keyword rankings and domain authority shifts.
Checking how stories land — sentiment and reach matter as much as volume.
Spotting emerging news or trends for reactive PR.
Our reports aren’t link dumps. They’re designed to show you what worked, why it mattered, and where to go next:
Campaign recap – what we ran and why.
Impact on SEO – rankings, traffic, domain authority.
Coverage highlights – the best placements and their reach.
Next steps – what we double down on or change for stronger results.
The right tools don’t replace strategy, but they make campaigns sharper, faster, and easier to measure. At Cupid PR, we use a mix of Digital PR software and social listening tools to spot opportunities, track performance, and refine outreach.
These are the tools that help us research, pitch, and measure effectively:
Sourcee – An outreach platform designed to connect brands with journalists and streamline PR pitching.
Google Analytics / GA4 – Tracks the traffic and engagement PR campaigns generate, showing direct impact on site performance.
Glimpse – Provides insights into trending topics and consumer behaviour shifts, helping us shape PR stories that land.
Ahrefs / Semrush – SEO tools we use to measure domain authority, backlink quality, and the search impact of PR campaigns.
Digital PR doesn’t stop at coverage — it’s about knowing how your brand is being talked about. Social listening tools help track sentiment, monitor competitors, and spot trends before they peak.
Brandwatch – Deep social and media monitoring for sentiment, reach, and competitor analysis.
Mentionlytics – Tracks brand mentions across platforms, helping us uncover reactive PR opportunities in real time.
Social Blade – Analyses growth and performance across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms — useful for spotting influencer traction and content trends.
These tools don’t create campaigns — they amplify and refine them. By combining monitoring, measurement, and smart outreach, they make Digital PR more data-led, targeted, and effective.
The tools shaping Digital PR today are very different from even a few years ago. Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are changing how people search, how journalists work, and how brands appear in results. Instead of just optimising for Google, PR strategies now consider how AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini surface brands in their answers.
Automation is also streamlining parts of the PR process — from media monitoring to trend spotting — freeing up more time for creative, human-led storytelling. At the same time, social-first platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are driving culture at speed, making it essential for brands to stay reactive.
The next wave of Digital PR will be defined by:
PR built for search + AI
Campaigns will be judged not just on coverage, but on whether they influence search rankings and LLM outputs.
Data-driven storytelling
Surveys, proprietary insights, and public data will remain vital for creating campaigns journalists trust and audiences share.
Content with authority
Brands will need to produce expert-led, credible content that can cut through misinformation and appeal to both media and algorithms.
Always-on reputation management
With search and AI surfacing brand mentions instantly, monitoring and responding in real time will be essential for trust.
Video and visual-first campaigns
Video, short-form content, and interactive formats will continue to dominate media and consumer attention.
The future of Digital PR belongs to brands that blend creativity with credibility — campaigns that don’t just get headlines, but earn links, shape search visibility, and build authority across both media and AI platforms.
