The #1 Digital PR Agency in South Africa

It’s a bold claim, but it’s true. Over the years, searchtorank has become the go-to digital PR agency in South Africa for businesses from so many different industries that we stopped keeping track. But it wasn’t always like this.

It’s taken us many years to get to where we are today, and we couldn’t be more proud of how far we’ve come. New backlinks, positive online reputation, increased brand awareness, we can do it all and to the highest level. Some of the ‘side-effects’ of letting our team of creatives and digital PR specialists take control of your campaign include:

  • Your site will start ranking higher on Google
  • There’ll be increased awareness around your brand
  • Your business will acquire new loyal customers
  • Your revenue will sky-rocket and your bottom line will improve

If you fancy a bit (or all) of the above, we’re up for the challenge. Find a time and date that works for you, book a call, and let’s have a chat. We’d love to show you why businesses have been relying on our digital PR services for years.

How We Approach Every Digital PR Campaign

If there’s one thing we want you to know about digital PR, it’s that successful digital PR campaigns don’t happen by chance. A lot of thought, planning, and execution goes on behind the scenes that you don’t get to see.

We know this because we’ve spent thousands of hours working in digital PR and know the effort that is required to create a successful digital PR campaign. To ensure that every digital PR campaign is a successful one, we’ve mapped out our approach and created an air-tight process that just works. Here’s how we’ll tackle your digital PR campaign if you decide to work with us:

1

Ideation & List Building

The main driver in every successful digital PR campaign is the idea behind it. And the reason why most digital PR campaigns underperform is simply because the idea behind them is poor. Very often, such digital PR campaigns are boring, lack on the creative front, and for lack of a better word - just suck.

2

Campaign Launch

Once the digital PR idea is approved and the journalist outreach list is ready, we’ll start putting the campaign together, before sending over the press releases to our network of journalists.

 
3

Repeat & Report

Once your digital PR campaign with Search To Rank is launched, we will launch new press releases on a weekly basis until we hit our target. You can expect to get back between 3 to 10 links per release (our record is 95). What’s more, is that you don’t need to worry about tracking progress - we will keep you up to date at all times.

FAQs

What is Digital PR?
Much like SEO, PPC, influencer and content marketing, digital PR is a marketing method designed to attract more eyeballs to your business, products, or services. And while we can’t speak for any other digital PR agencies in London, we can tell you a little bit more about what you can expect in terms of digital PR if you work with us. As SEO is our bread and butter, above reputation management and brand awareness, the core focus of the digital PR campaigns we run is to help our clients acquire high authority links from major publications. That being said, our digital PR services are flexible and tailored to your business. So, we’re always open to hearing about your needs and goals and helping you achieve them.
How is Digital PR Different From Traditional PR?

Unlike traditional PR, which mostly relies on traditional media coverage such as print media placements and broadcast outlets, digital PR campaigns are carried out entirely in the digital space.

And since digital PR campaigns are carried out on the internet, their performance can be closely monitored, which is crucial for measuring the effectiveness of the campaign, making data-driven adjustments to the digital PR strategy, and maximising ROI. None of the above is possible with traditional PR.

Aside from being able to measure the performance of a PR campaign, digital PR allows businesses to target a very specific audience. This massively reduces the waste of resources, which are spent on attracting the attention of people who won’t be interested in your brand, product, or service – as is typically the case with traditional PR.

Why is Digital PR Important for Businesses?

While most businesses focus on SEO, PPC, and growing their social media profiles, few pay attention to digital PR. And while that’s a real shame, it’s also a great opportunity for you to tap into a marketing channel that is often overlooked and underappreciated.

When an online PR campaign is executed correctly, it’ll get your business in front of your target audience, help you build brand awareness, and acquire high-quality backlinks. As a result of that, over time, you’ll start to see an increase in search engine rankings, which will positively reflect on your organic traffic and revenue.

Not only that, but digital PR can also carve the way you want the public to perceive your brand, which is an extremely powerful long-term tactic to increase customer lifetime value.

To put things into perspective, there are no drawbacks to launching a digital PR campaign for your business. When done right, it’ll bring nothing but great opportunities to increase your brand awareness, the organic traffic to your site, and help make you the authority within your industry.

How Do I Choose the Right Digital PR Agency for My Business?

Whether you’re looking for a healthcare, finance, fashion, or B2B tech PR agency, choosing the right PR specialists for the job is crucial. That being said, doing so is easier said than done.

Having worked in the digital PR industry for many years, here are a few things that we recommend you to lookout out for when choosing a digital PR agency to take charge of your campaigns:

  • The number of years of experience they have in digital PR
  • The results they have generated for their clients
  • The type and size of businesses that they’ve worked with in the past
  • If they offer any guarantees on their services
  • How transparent and open to communication they are

If all of the above sounds like a digital PR agency that you’re looking for – you’ve come to the right place. Get in touch with our digital PR team today and let’s have a chat.

How Do You Achieve Press Coverage?

Having worked on digital PR campaigns for a long while, we know every trick under the sun that can help us get you covered at major publications such as Yahoo, Forbes, and VOGUE. While we won’t go into too much detail on the tactics we use, we’d be happy to share with you a method that we see tremendous success with.

This method revolves around creating linkable assets. This could be anything from infographics and brain teasers to maps and optical illusions. Once these assets are created, we’ll send them out to relevant journalists, who can use them to support their content in exchange for a mention.

And that’s just one of the strategies we use. The exact method we’ll go for will depend on your business, what you’re trying to achieve, and the journalists that we’re targeting.

How Will You Measure the Success of My Digital PR Campaign?
To measure the success of your digital PR campaign, we will use a handful of different tools. Two of the tools that we like to use the most include Ahrefs and Google Analytics. The reason why we like to use Ahrefs is because it helps us keep track of incoming backlinks and monitor the increase of people searching for your brand on search engines like Google. As far as Google Analytics is concerned, it’s a fantastic tool, which will help us monitor your site’s growth in organic traffic, new sessions, and other key traffic-related data. If you decide to schedule a consultation call with our team, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about having a digital PR campaign with us, including how we go about measuring results and reporting them to you
