What Is Digital PR?
Digital PR combines the storytelling power of traditional public relations with the performance focus of SEO. It’s about getting your brand featured on authoritative websites, online publications, and high-traffic media outlets — not just for exposure, but for the backlinks and credibility that improve your Google rankings.
In 2025, link-building through cold emails and outdated tactics isn’t enough. What you need is genuine newsworthy content, compelling data-driven stories, and a consultant who knows how to earn coverage that drives traffic, trust, and conversions.
That’s where Sam Allcock comes in.
