Digital PR Services: Which Market Page You Should Be On, and What Changes About Earned Media From One Country to the Next
This is the international version of our digital PR service. If your company is in one of our eight country markets, the table below sends you to the page written for it, in its currency and around the question buyers there are asking. If you run campaigns across several markets or sit outside them, this page explains what stays the same about earned media everywhere, a story worth covering and links measured in rankings, and what changes by country: who links, how much of the coverage market is paid, which languages have their own press, and how syndication inflates placement counts. Every meeting is a video call in your market’s business hours.
Key facts about this service across markets
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| What stays the same | A campaign is a story or data asset, outreach to a named outlet list, the editorial links it earns, reclamation of unlinked mentions, and a report that ties links to target-page rankings and enquiries. |
| What changes by market | Who links and who does not, how much of the coverage market is paid and must be labelled, which languages have their own press, and how syndication inflates placement counts. |
| How it is priced | Per campaign in local currency, scoped by story, asset, languages and outlet list; no per-link price in any market. Audit and managed SEO entry points are in the table. |
| First visible change | Coverage two to six weeks after outreach begins in each market; ranking movement on target pages read at 8 and 12 weeks. |
| How it is reported | One document, broken out per market and language: coverage log with link attribute and syndication, referring domains, target-page rankings, enquiries in each market’s currency. |
| How we decide | Data-driven: every recommendation starts from your Search Console, analytics and competitor data, and every month is reported in enquiries and sales in each market’s currency, not rankings alone. |

Who this is for
This page is for three readers: companies headquartered outside the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Singapore that still sell into one of them; groups running digital PR in several of those markets from one marketing team; and anyone comparing how digital PR is scoped, priced and reported across countries before choosing where to start. If you are in a single market, its page is the better read.
For the other ways to earn or buy links, start with backlink services; for how multi-market work is structured, see international SEO services.
For a closer look at link building, read our guide to Digital PR for Links: Digital PR is one of the most effective white-hat ways to earn high-authority links and brand mentions — the kind that genuinely move rankings and build trust.
Choose your market page
Each market page answers a different buyer question, because earned media works differently in each country. Prices are the audit start and the managed SEO start in local currency; campaigns are quoted per campaign.
| Market | Audit from | Managed SEO from | Languages with their own press | The question that page answers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $2,000 | $3,000 | English | PR firm, link vendor or SEO-led digital PR: which one the proposal is really selling |
| United Kingdom | £2,000 | £2,000 | English | A scorecard for comparing agency proposals: guaranteed links, syndication, nofollow nationals |
| Australia | AUD $2,000 | AUD $3,000 | English | Where Australian links actually come from: trade press, metro news or industry bodies |
| Canada | CA$2,500 | CA$3,000 | English and French | One asset, two media markets: which pages need which language’s links |
| India | ₹50,000 | ₹1,90,000 | English, Hindi and regional languages | Wire syndication, paid brand stories or earned editorial, and which reaches your rankings |
| United Arab Emirates | AED 5,000 | AED 5,000 | Arabic and English | Telling paid coverage from earned, and why the licence comes first |
| Malaysia | RM 3,000 | RM 5,000 | English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese | Which language press gives links that count, and how to brief one story three ways |
| Singapore | SGD $2,000 | SGD $3,000 | English | Earning regional links from a small national press |
The multi-market digital PR problems we are brought
- The problem
One global campaign, one English asset, and coverage in only the market where the agency happens to be based.
How we solve itEditors cover their own country’s data. We cut one study by country, brief it natively for each press, and run separate outlet lists, so the same asset earns links in every market where you have pages to lift.
- The problem
Head office counts placements across markets and the numbers look wonderful while rankings do not move anywhere.
How we solve itPlacement counts mix earned, paid and syndicated coverage. We classify every URL and report distinct referring domains and target-page rankings per market, so budget can follow the markets where links are moving pages.
- The problem
A regional agency delivered “coverage” in three countries that turned out to be paid features and wire copies.
How we solve itPaid and wire coverage must be labelled and passes nothing. We audit the attributes, fix or disavow where needed, and spend the next campaign on editorial coverage you could not have bought.
- The problem
Your markets speak different languages and the asset was only ever written in English.
How we solve itFrench in Canada, Arabic in the UAE, Hindi and regional languages in India, Malay and Chinese in Malaysia each have their own press and their own link habits. Each is briefed by a writer in that language, not translated.
