Long-term link building requires digital PR

Digital PR is an essential part of contemporary marketing due to the role it plays in link building. For sites that are technically polished and have mastered their content, pushing their performance ahead of the competition can come down to acquiring a greater volume of relevant, high-quality links. Digital PR is integral to achieving this.

However, high-quality, data-driven digital PR is challenging and time consuming. It requires a lot of strategic planning, razor sharp timing and continuous attention over the long term. Tackling it yourself is a substantial workload to take on board, so it will be a large commitment if you’re to do this successfully.

Of course, you’ll also need to possess the right level of knowledge about this to ensure your strategy is planned and implemented effectively. To help you identify whether you have this expertise, we’ve produced our very own digital PR quiz for link builders. Do you have the know-how to get the coverage you need, or are there gaps in your knowledge that you’ll need to fill first?
