Talk to a specialist
What is digital PR and how is it different from traditional PR?
Digital PR is earned editorial coverage optimized for online discovery - links, referral traffic, domain authority, and AI search citations - in addition to brand impact.
How long until I see results?
Pitch-to-placement cycles run 4-12 weeks per campaign. Authority shifts compound over 6-12 months. HARO wins land week to week.
How much do digital PR services cost?
Retainer engagements typically start in the mid-five figures monthly and scale with outreach volume and tier of outlets targeted.
Do you guarantee placements?
No reputable PR agency guarantees placements. We commit to outreach volume, story quality, and HARO response cadence - and report on outcomes.
Do you do link building outside PR?
Yes, but selectively. Resource-page outreach and broken-link campaigns ship alongside PR work where they make sense.
How is digital PR different from SEO link building?
SEO link building optimizes for the link. Digital PR optimizes for the story - links follow. PR placements tend to outlast pure link-building tactics.
Will founder placements help our brand?
Yes, especially in AI search where entity reinforcement matters. Founder bylines on credible publications feed both authority and citations.
How is H4H different from a typical PR firm?
We pair PR with technical SEO, AI search optimization, and content strategy - so coverage compounds across discovery surfaces, not just one campaign cycle.
