Begin with a credible contribution.

A solicitor’s informed explanation of a relevant issue can be useful to a publication’s audience. A generic article written only to hold a keyword link is much harder to justify. We identify the audience, the contribution and the evidence before planning outreach.

Potential material includes an approved expert comment, an original practical guide or a clearly sourced analysis. If the firm has no publishable data, the plan should not pretend to contain a research study.

An editorial brief, not a link quota.

Opportunity research

Identify relevant legal, business or local publications and existing relationships. Assess topical fit and editorial quality rather than relying on a third-party domain score alone.

Source and asset preparation

Develop a useful angle and supporting material. Keep evidence, data definitions, permissions and named expert approval connected to the asset.

Approved outreach

Agree the spokesperson, claims and contact approach before pitching. Any publication or response remains an editorial decision outside the firm’s control.

Coverage review

Record the publication, context, destination URL and any inaccuracies. Distinguish a brand mention, a referral visit and a link from a measured commercial result.

Illustrative brief: an employment team has an approved explanation of a question relevant to local employers.

The scope buys the agreed research, preparation and outreach work. It does not buy a publisher’s editorial decision. We distinguish requested corrections, coverage, links and referral activity in the report.

Avoid shortcuts that distort the brief.

Google’s spam policies address links created to manipulate search rankings. A promise of a fixed number of “powerful” links says little about the relevance or legitimacy of the placements.

We do not frame third-party authority scores as Google scores or treat paid placement as earned editorial coverage. Any commercial arrangement needs to be clear, including how links are qualified where required.

Connect coverage to a useful destination.

The page a reader reaches should explain the relevant service or original material. That makes service content and evidence preparation part of the planning conversation.

If your immediate issue is contradictory public business information, AI Citations or local SEO may be a more direct starting point. Digital PR has a different job from submitting a firm to directories.

Bring existing material and expertise your firm is willing to put its name to. We can identify the preparation needed before outreach, with the asset, review responsibilities and reporting set out in the proposal.

Before you decide

Your questions, answered.

Do you guarantee a number of links?

No editorial publication or link is guaranteed. The proposal defines the research, asset creation, approval and outreach work, with reporting on what actually happens.

Can you write quotes under our solicitors’ names?

Draft comments can be prepared for a named solicitor to review and approve. We do not invent an expert’s opinion or publish under their name without approval.

Does a high domain score prove a link is valuable?

No. Those scores belong to third-party tools. We also assess relevance, the actual page, editorial context and whether the reference is useful to a real reader.
