If you're running a self storage company and have empty units to fill then not investing in Digital PR is a mistake. Think about the reasons people actually rent storage units. They're moving house, downsizing, renovating, starting a business, going through a divorce or simply running out of space at home. Every one of those situations creates opportunities to get your storage company featured in national newspapers. And while your competitors are getting mentioned on blogs that have 100 visitors a month you could be putting your name out there in front of millions by getting featured in the national press. As a self storage operator you have valuable knowledge that journalists want to talk about, for example you could explain: - The five household items you should never store in your garage. - Why storing expensive furniture in a loft could end up costing you thousands. - How to fold your clothes at home to maximise space in your closet While these are just examples, you get what i'm trying to say, these are the kinds of practical stories that publications like the Daily Mail, Mirror, Express, The Sun and Ideal Home could feature.

If I owned a private rehab clinic and wanted to increase patient enquiries, I'd be using digital PR to get my specialists featured in international publications. And January would be one of the first opportunities I'd target. Why? Because the New Year brings a huge amount of conversation around alcohol consumption, Dry January, addiction, mental health and people wanting to make positive changes to their lives. Journalists are looking for qualified experts who can explain the warning signs of addiction, challenge common misconceptions and offer practical advice to people who might be struggling. And that's where a private rehabilitation clinic has a real opportunity. You already have multiple experts in your business such as Addiction specialists, therapists, psychologists and recovery professionals who understand the challenges people face every day so you should be using them. That knowledge could be turned into national media stories such as: The early warning signs that someone's drinking habits may be becoming a problem. Why completing Dry January doesn't necessarily mean you have a healthy relationship with alcohol. The difference between heavy drinking and alcohol dependence. The subtle behavioural changes that could indicate someone is struggling with addiction. All of these are just examples, but highlight what you could be doing to not only help people but get your clinic out there without having to spend hundreds per click on your PPC ads. When a journalist uses your expertise they often link back to your clinic website which can help strengthen your website's authority, support your organic rankings and improve your visibility when people search for private rehabilitation services, addiction treatment or specialist support.

If I owned a car dealership and wanted to sell more vehicles i'd be using Digital PR to get my business featured in national newspapers and their websites. And no I wouldn't be spending thousands promoting individual cars. Instead id use my knowledge and my teams to earn media coverage from some of the UK's biggest publications. Think of it this way, buying a car is one of the most important purchases that most peple make and there's a huge amount of uncertainty around it. Is new or used better in terms of value, should you get an electric car, has the car done too much mileage, you get me. These are questions people ask themselves and also questions that journalises will be looking to answer for their readers. As a car dealership or automotive retailer, you could provide expert commentary on: The five warning signs that a used car might become a money pit. Why buying a three-year-old car could make more financial sense than buying new. The car features that could make your vehicle harder to sell in the future. The biggest mistakes motorists make when part-exchanging their cars. All topics like The Sun, Express, Daily Mail and more would cover.

If you run a vaping company you're opperating in an industry where traditional advertising is heavily restricted so digital PR can work really well for vaping brands. Vaping is always in the news too whether its Disposable vape bans, environmental concerns, changing regulations, illegal products and debates around public health. Theres always something that journalists could use help with. And who better to provide that knowledge than someone who works in that industry every day. If I were running a vaping company and wanted to build my website's authority through digital PR, I'd be looking at stories such as: What actually happens to disposable vapes when they're thrown in household bins? The environmental impact of improperly discarded vape batteries. How consumers can identify potentially illegal or non-compliant vaping products. The biggest misconceptions surrounding UK vaping regulations. You could also use reactive PR to jump on anything that's relevant too (We've done this in the past with great success for vaping companies) Talking about these topics is a great way to get your brand out there, and also build those top tier backlinks that google trusts. So while your competitors are buying links on websites that everyone else can, you could be earning the best links in the world. When you do this your search traffic increases and so do your sales. Where most brands go wrong is that your not here to push vaping down everyones throats, your here to be a trusted unbiased source of information in an industry that's constantly making headlines. For example, before working with vaping brands I had no idea that it's one of the best ways to stop smoking. So if you can't get enough eyeballs on your brand, and you cant advertise via PPC, then digital PR is a great way to do so. If you need digital PR for your vaping company, book a call with me below: calendly.com/weeare/discover

January is one of the best oppertunities for self storage companies to attract new customers and fill empty units. If i owned a self storage facility, i'd be using digital PR to take advantage of that. The reason being is that millions of homeowners will head into the New Year with the same goal, to declutter their home.

If i owned a bed or mattress company and wanted to increase sales without having to pay for expensive PPC clicks, one of the first things that I would do i start earning backlinks from top tier publications. The best part is this time of year is great for doing so because the colder weather, darker mornings and shorter days can all affect how well we sleep, and millions of people are looking for ways to get a better night's rest.

Why your mattress could be making you feel colder at night. How often you should actually replace your pillows and mattress. Why certain sleeping positions can leave you waking up with aches and pains. How your choice of bedding can affect your body temperature throughout the night.

When a journalist uses your content, they will then link back or mention your website. That means more trust, authority and a better backlink profile which all go to increasing your website traffic and sales!

A guy only wanted to pay for our digital PR services if we could guarantee that he would make £90,000 from it because thats what happened to one of his competitors. Mental

You can't invest in digital PR once and then walk away. While everyone may promise the world, in reality the biggest competitors in your space will have run digital pr link building for years. So expecting one campaign to help you to outrank them it isn't going to happen. For example we know that one of our clients competitors used to spend £50,000 to £70,000 a month on digital PR campaigns. You could have the best digital PR agency in the world, run 10 campaigns and you still won't outrank them. People not from this world think that's extortionate because they probably see those agencies that charge £250 a month and think that your being ripped off, but the reality is while SEO can be highly profitable, it can also be expensive to get off the ground and get you results. If you can't invest in digital pr for months, then don't do it

A client had spent thousands on guest posts with another agency and they lost over 10,000 searches over the course of a year. Now this wasn't 100% down to the agency doing anything bad, but they hadn't noticed that the search results had changed. They had gone from smaller brands who were winning with these guest posts, to larger more trusted brands that Invest in Digital PR. So while it's obvious to some people it may not be obvious to others. Check the search, see what ranks, and keep checking month on month. Knowing you rank position 5 isn't enough, you need to know where your competitors rank too and where changes are happening

When running PR campaigns you can't write about your product or service most of the time, so you need to come up with something your audience cares about. This piece for example was for a client that sold mattresses, so if we spoke about springs or foam toppers it wouldnt have got any coverage. However, people are conscious about having the heating on (bills) so a piece talking about not putting the heating on and sleeping in a colder room, naturally is going to generate interest.

A massive mistake I see when auditing websites is businesses throwing thousands at link building when their on page content isn't up to standard. Most businesses will think that because a web designer or marketer has put their page tofether then its suitable for search but 99.99% of the time it isn't Google doesn't rank websites randomly. So you can't randomly put content together.

Company 1 hires an SEO agency to build them backlinks. They spend $2000 a month and buy them links from other websites that advertise that they sell links. Company 1's competitors also do the same thing. Now no one really stands out. Company 2 do the above, and invest in digital PR for the next 6 months. Company 2 have links from top tier publications like NY Post, The BBC, Independant, The Metro etc. Company 2 has built a moat around their rankings. Sure the search engines will change, but company 2 is in a better position than the first. Which company you decide to be will ultimately decide how your website will perform over the next year or two.

Google is decimating companies in organic search. Position 1-10 used to drive traffic. Being number 1 now doesn't guarantee it as much, being 4+ means you mayaswell be doing something else. Don't be left behind with SEO, because it will take you months to catch back up if you can that is.
