What to expect

Editors decide what they publish and whether a link is included. We report the coverage that results, including links where they appear, and we do not promise named outlets.

What every report includes

Each result is labelled by service and placement type, so earned coverage and contributed content are never mixed together in one number.

Publication URL

The live article, so you can open and read it yourself.

Placement context

Where your brand appears in the article and how it is introduced.

Destination URL

The page on your site the link points to, where a link is included.

Link attributes

The attributes the publisher applied, reported as they appear live.

Ways to work with us

Journalist outreach can run as a defined campaign or an ongoing programme. Your proposal sets out which model fits and what it includes.

Single campaign

Focused outreach around a launch, a report or a topic you want to be known for. Subject areas, spokesperson availability and reporting are agreed before work starts.

Monthly programme

Continuous monitoring of journalist requests in your subject areas, with responses prepared as opportunities appear and a coverage report each month.

Questions, answered

For journalist requests, yes. Reporters need a named expert they can quote. We prepare the response and keep the time asked of your spokesperson short, but the expertise has to be theirs.

Yes. One proposal can include editorial placements and journalist outreach. Each is reported separately so you can see what each part of the campaign produced.

No. Editors make the final publication and link decisions. We will explain which outlets are realistic for your subject area, then report what is published.

Earned coverage usually points to a homepage, expert profile or research asset. For links to specific commercial pages, editorial link building is the better fit, and both can run in one proposal.
