Proper PR in 2025 Client Highs
This is PR that’s strategic, measurable and built for the long term.
Pieces of media coverage
Average domain authority achieved
Placements, per client each month
High quality backlinks generated
So what does that actually mean ?
Domain authority (DA) is a score that reflects how trusted and influential a website is in Google’s eyes. The higher the score, the more credibility and the more value that coverage delivers long after it’s published. An average DA of 46 means our clients are consistently featured in strong, established and respected publications, not just creating drama, but building lasting digital authority.
Add to those 1,619 backlinks. These are direct links from trusted media sites back to our clients’ websites and the result is PR that works harder: improving visibility, strengthening search rankings and reinforcing brand credibility.
This is PR that’s strategic, measurable and built for the long term.
