Link Building

Digital PR
that earns links

Stories journalists actually want to cover — built from data, expert insight and timely angles — pitched by hand to the right people. The result is earned coverage and the kind of authoritative links you can't buy.

10+
years of experience each across the strategists behind your campaigns

✓ Data-led stories ✓ Expert commentary ✓ Journalist outreach ✓ Earned media links

The strongest links on the web aren't requested. They're earned by giving journalists something worth writing about.

Digital PR turns your expertise and data into stories — and those stories into coverage, brand awareness and authority.

What's included

Stories, data and expertise,
pitched to the people who publish.

Every campaign is built around one question: why would a journalist, editor or blogger want to cover this? We answer it before we pitch a single person.

Ideation & angles

We workshop story ideas around your industry, your data and what's in the news — and pressure-test each one for genuine newsworthiness.

Data-led campaigns

Original surveys, analysis of public data sets and insights from your own anonymised data, shaped into findings worth reporting.

Expert commentary

We position your specialists as go-to sources, responding to journalist requests and offering timely comment on stories in your field.

Assets & press materials

Clear press releases, summaries, charts and supporting pages on your site that give journalists everything they need — and a reason to link.

Targeted journalist outreach

Personal pitches to the reporters, editors and bloggers who cover your topic — not a blast to a bought media list.

Coverage & link tracking

We track every piece of coverage and follow up on unlinked mentions, so you get the links as well as the exposure.

How we work

From an idea worth covering
to coverage that lasts.

01

Find the story

We dig into your business, your data and your market to find angles that genuinely interest journalists and their readers.

02

Build the campaign

We gather or analyse the data, write the release, design supporting visuals and publish a linkable resource on your site.

03

Pitch by hand

Our team researches and contacts relevant journalists individually, tailoring every pitch to what they actually write about.

04

Report & reclaim

You get a full coverage report, and we chase any mentions that didn't include a link.

What makes a story worth covering

Journalists receive far more pitches than they could ever use. The ones that land usually have at least one of these:

  • New data — a survey, study or analysis that tells readers something they didn't know.
  • Timeliness — a fresh angle on something already in the news.
  • Local relevance — findings broken down by city, state or region so local outlets have a reason to run it.
  • Genuine expertise — a credible person who can explain what something means.
  • A strong visual — a chart, map or ranking that's easy to share and embed.

We build campaigns around those ingredients, and we're honest when an idea isn't strong enough to pitch.

02

Reactive PR and expert commentary

Not every campaign needs a big data study. Reactive PR — responding quickly to journalists looking for sources, or offering expert comment on breaking stories — can earn steady coverage for businesses with real expertise to share. Lawyers, financial advisers, health professionals, tradespeople and tech specialists are often exactly who journalists need to quote. We help position your people as reliable sources and manage the process of turning their insight into published commentary.

03

What we won't promise

Earned media is earned. No honest agency can guarantee a specific publication will cover your story, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can promise is a considered approach: properly researched angles, personal outreach to relevant journalists and transparent reporting on every piece of coverage and every link.

Digital PR works best as part of a wider strategy. We often run it alongside guest posting and niche edits within our link building services, so you get a steady base of relevant links plus the occasional high-authority win from the media.

Four Dots is a senior-led agency based in Sydney, and our strategists have 10+ years of experience each. We only take on clients we believe we can genuinely grow.

Questions

Digital PR, answered.

What's the difference between digital PR and traditional PR?+
Traditional PR focuses mainly on reputation and coverage. Digital PR has the same goals but is planned with SEO in mind — prioritising online publications, linkable assets and follow-up to make sure coverage includes links back to your site.
Can you guarantee coverage in specific publications?+
No. Coverage is decided by journalists and editors, so no one can honestly guarantee a specific outlet. We focus on strong angles, relevant targets and personal outreach to give every campaign the best chance.
Do we need our own data?+
It helps, but it isn't essential. We can run surveys, analyse public data sets or build campaigns around your team's expertise instead.
How long does a digital PR campaign take?+
A data-led campaign typically takes several weeks from ideation to launch, with coverage often arriving over the following weeks. Reactive PR and expert commentary can earn coverage more quickly and on an ongoing basis.
Is digital PR right for small businesses?+
It can be, especially for businesses with genuine expertise or local stories to tell. For some smaller sites, a steadier mix of guest posts and local links is more cost-effective — we'll tell you which makes more sense.
How do you measure success?+
We report on coverage secured, links earned, the authority and relevance of linking sites, referral traffic and the impact on your organic visibility over time.
