Inside a 12-week engagement

What happens, week by week.

A concrete walk-through of a Digital PR & Reputation engagement at Standard pace. Every step is fixed-scope, dated, and visible inside your portal.

WK 1

Discovery call + audit kickoff.

Thirty-minute discovery call, full access granted to your stack, and the audit begins the same day. We talk to your team, your customers if you can introduce us, and the people closest to the metric.

Outputs: Audit baseline, stakeholder map
WK 2

Roadmap delivered + signed off.

A written 90-day roadmap with deliverables, owners, dates, and success signals lands inside your portal. We talk it through, you mark it up, you sign it off. Nothing builds before you do.

Outputs: 90-day roadmap PDF, sign-off
WK 3-4

Production starts. First assets land.

The brand voice document, the first wave of content, the first dashboard wires up. Friday-end you see the deliverables tracker move from zero to working. Weekly delivery becomes the rhythm.

Outputs: Brand voice doc, first deliverables
WK 5-8

First measurable signals shipped.

By the end of month two, the first quantitative signal is visible in your dashboard. Pages ranking, leads landing, opens rising, deliverables stacking. We talk weekly, course-correct in writing.

Outputs: Live dashboards, first results read-out
WK 9-12

Compounding kicks in.

Month three is where the work starts paying compounding dividends — the second piece outperforms the first, the second list segment outperforms the first, the second creative cohort beats the baseline.

Outputs: Quarterly read-out, refreshed roadmap
Q2+

Quarterly review + roadmap refresh.

Every 90 days the roadmap is rebuilt against the actual signals. What compounded gets doubled down on. What flatlined gets re-scoped or dropped. Walk-away rights at every cycle — you keep everything either way.

Outputs: Refreshed roadmap, board-ready review pack

The contrast

Most Digital PR & Reputation agencies vs. how we run it.

If you have worked with a marketing agency before, you have probably seen the column on the left. Here is what we do instead.

Stop

What most agencies sell

  • Mass-pitching journalists who covered your category once, in 2019
  • PR stunts that win an industry award and produce zero pipeline
  • Reputation managed reactively — a 3-star Google review at a time
  • No story bank, no media list, no editorial calendar coordination
Start

How we run Digital PR & Reputation

  • A targeted media list with named editors and beat-specific angles
  • Stories pitched to outlets your buyers actually read, with proof
  • Review velocity programmes that compound your local search authority
  • Editorial, social and PR sequenced from a single content calendar

The Earned-Authority Engine

Story bank format, journalist research process, pitch templates and review-velocity programme. The exact engine that earns authority links every quarter.

No spam. One playbook, one follow-up email a week later asking what landed and what didn’t. Unsubscribe in one click.

The cost of waiting

Every uncovered story is authority a competitor is borrowing from your category.

The journalists, editors and podcasters covering your category are running schedules months in advance. Every cycle you do not pitch into is one your competitor probably did, and every backlink they earn compounds for them indefinitely.

FAQ

Honest answers, before the call.

Six questions we get asked on almost every Press Release Writing and Distribution discovery call. If yours isn’t here, drop it in the contact form and we’ll answer in writing within a working day.

How does Press Release Writing and Distribution fit into your Digital PR & Reputation pillar?

Press Release Writing and Distribution is one of the productised services inside our Digital PR & Reputation retainer. You can engage it as a standalone deliverable, but the leverage comes from running it inside the wider Digital PR & Reputation programme — where it inherits the audit, the roadmap, the reporting cadence, and the integration into your other pillars.

Can we buy Press Release Writing and Distribution on its own without the full pillar?

Yes. Press Release Writing and Distribution is available as a standalone scope when that is the right shape for your business. We will tell you on the discovery call whether running it inside the Digital PR & Reputation pillar would compound harder, but you decide.

Is Press Release Writing and Distribution right for our size of business?

We work with founder-led service businesses and SMEs from 10 to 200 staff, typically GBP 500K to 20M turnover, across the UK and the Costa Blanca. If you sit either side of that range we’ll tell you on the call — we won’t take work that isn’t a fit.

Do you measure success in revenue or in vanity metrics?

Revenue, qualified pipeline, and cost-per-acquired-customer come first. Rankings, traffic, impressions, and engagement are diagnostic — useful, but secondary. Every monthly report ties activity back to commercial outcomes.

What does Press Release Writing and Distribution cost?

Press Release Writing and Distribution is normally scoped as part of the Digital PR & Reputation pillar (Foundation from £1,500–3,000/month, Compound from £3,000–6,000/month, Architect from £6,000+/month). Standalone scopes start lower — we will send a tailored band before the discovery call and a written quote within two business days.

Will you guarantee specific results or rankings?

No, and run from anyone who does. We guarantee the work — the audit, on-page, technical depth, content cadence, automation, and reporting — to a documented standard, every week. Outcomes follow. If they don’t move within the time-to-signal window we sit down and rebuild the plan together. You walk away with everything we’ve built, every cycle.

What if Press Release Writing and Distribution doesn’t work for us?

You own everything we build — site, content, lists, pipelines, automations — from day one. There are no proprietary tools to lock you in. We work in 90-day cycles and either side can decline to renew at the end of any cycle.
