Digital PR pricing and packages

Two monthly plans, a defined number of editorial placements in each, and every PR link reported as it lands. Month to month, no long contracts. Bespoke retained programmes are scoped for multi-market or regulated briefs.

PackageMonthly pricePlacements per batchBest for
Growth£4,50010 editorial placementsBrands building authority across several commercial pages, categories or markets
Scale£7,50020 editorial placementsEstablished brands and agencies that need dependable monthly coverage volume

Every package buys the same standard of work. The tier changes the number of placements; the publication standard and the care over each pitch stay the same. Each batch is targeted for completion within 30 to 45 days of receiving the brief, and if publisher delays leave a shortfall, it's carried forward and we keep developing stories until the batch is complete.

What every package includes

  • Editorial placements only. Contextual links inside editorial coverage on publications people read, assessed for readership, editorial standards and relevance to your market.
  • Story development. Our team researches angles from public data, FOI requests and your market, and writes them to a standard a journalist can lift from. You don't need to supply stories or data.
  • Named-journalist pitching. Individually targeted outreach to reporters who cover your subject, with one useful follow-up and no mass blasts.
  • Target pages and natural links. We plan around the pages you want to promote. The publisher decides the final destination, link wording and attributes.
  • Reactive commentary. Comment our team writes from your published positions and public data, offered into live stories alongside the planned ones, from Growth upwards. You can review it first if you'd like to.
  • Full reporting. Every placement logged with the publication, URL, link attribute and target page as it goes live.
  • Month to month. No fixed-term contract. Cancel before the next renewal or change tier for the following cycle.

What the price does not buy

The package doesn't buy a slot in a named newspaper. Journalists and editors decide what they publish, and we report the coverage that actually appears.

It also doesn't buy a Google position. Links can help Google discover and understand pages, but there's no fixed ranking gain per placement.

Paid publisher placements aren't included as earned coverage in these packages. Google requires paid links to be qualified, normally with rel="sponsored". Our guide to PR links explains the distinction, and Google's link spam policy sets out the rules.

How digital PR pricing compares

Compare the written scope as well as the monthly price. Check whether a quote covers research, pitching, reporting and any agreed placement commitment. Ask how delayed coverage is handled and whether there are additional production costs. A low headline price can cover a very different service.

Our packages show the monthly price and placements per batch above. The cost guide explains the factors to consider when comparing a package with a bespoke programme.

When a bespoke programme makes more sense

Three things reliably justify a bespoke scope over a package. Multiple markets first: pitching UK and US media, for instance, means separate angles, separate media lists and separate news cycles. Regulated sectors second: finance, health and legal stories need compliance review and more careful sourcing before anything reaches a journalist. Brand-led briefs third, where the goal is sustained share of voice instead of a placement count, and the reporting has to reflect that.

Bespoke programmes are scoped by email after a few questions, and quoted as a monthly figure we can stand behind for the life of the engagement.

When a package is the wrong call

A package may be the wrong fit if the pages you want to promote don't yet answer the visitor's question, have broken internal links or can't be indexed. Coverage won't fix those problems by itself. A business that only needs occasional press activity may also be better suited to a one-off scope.

Check how any provider earns coverage, whether publishers are paid and how links are qualified. Price alone doesn't prove that a service follows or breaches Google's policies.

How to start

Pick a package and send us a brief, or email info@digitalprservices.co.uk with your website and the pages you want to strengthen. A consultant replies within one working day with the angles we'd pitch first, a recommended tier and a start date. If a package is the wrong tool for your situation, we say so and point you somewhere more useful.

Frequently asked questions

What does the placement minimum mean?

Each package defines a batch of ten or twenty linked editorial placements. A mention without a link is recorded separately and isn't a linked placement. We target completion within 30 to 45 days; if publisher timing creates a shortfall, the balance carries forward. The publisher still controls the final link wording, destination and attributes.

Are these month-to-month or contracts?

Month to month. There's no fixed-term contract. You can move up or down a tier for the next campaign cycle, or give notice to stop.

Why is there no price per link?

Most of the cost sits in the work behind each article. For a ten-placement batch we research and test several story ideas, write up the strongest and pitch each one individually to the reporters who cover the subject. Some ideas don't land, so we develop more until the batch is complete. The package price covers that work, whichever stories run.

How do you assess publication quality?

Readership first, then editorial standards, then relevance to your market. Third-party metrics such as DA are only a rough guide. A strong regional or trade title with a loyal readership is worth more than a high-metric site nobody visits, and the report says so.

Can I pay for a single campaign instead of a monthly plan?

Yes, for a defined one-off campaign such as a data study or a seasonal push. It's scoped and quoted separately, and it uses the same publication standard and reporting as the monthly packages.

Do you charge extra for reporting?

No. Reporting is part of every package. Each placement is logged with the publication, URL, link attribute and target page as it goes live, and you get a plain monthly summary of what was pitched, what ran and what's still in play.

Can you guarantee a publication or a Google ranking?

No. A journalist or editor decides whether to publish, and Google decides how it weighs the resulting coverage alongside the rest of your site. We can define the campaign work, target relevant publications and report every outcome clearly; we can't guarantee a named outlet or a position in search results.
