Digital PR Link Building: DR 90+ Links From Top-Tier Publications
Digital PR link building that earns links from the most authoritative sites on the web, two ways: DR 90+ editorial placements (with a DR 80+ option for smaller budgets) and digital PR campaigns that pitch your stories and experts to journalists.
What is digital PR link building? Digital PR link building earns links and brand mentions from high-authority publications (in our case, sites with an Ahrefs Domain Rating of 90 or higher) by pitching stories, data and expert commentary to journalists or by securing editorial placements. Coverage on well-known media, software and business sites can also earn brand mentions that AI search tools may pick up, though nobody can guarantee it.

Why a few top-tier links can matter more than many small ones
A relevant link from a DR 90+ publication usually carries more weight than several links from small sites, and it is the kind of source AI tools often draw on. Authority alone isn't enough, though; relevance matters just as much. A DR 90 link on an unrelated page does far less for you than one on a page about your topic.
So we only pursue top-tier links where the publication and page fit your product.
High-DR placements vs. digital PR
They are different products, so we price and promise them differently.
DR 90+ editorial placements
We pitch content to editors at DR 90+ (or DR 80+) sites in your niche. The editor decides what is published. Priced per placement: 3 DR 90+ links for $3,000/month or 3 DR 80+ links for $1,500/month, paid upfront. If a placement doesn't go live, we replace it or refund it in full.
Digital PR campaigns
We create a story, data angle or expert commentary and pitch it to journalists. Coverage is earned: it depends on the story, the publication and the news cycle, so the number of links can't be guaranteed. Campaigns are priced per campaign; see pricing.
How we earn DR 90+ coverage
The tactics behind our high-authority placements and PR.
Expert commentary
We pitch your team's insight to writers through Qwoted, Featured, Source of Sources and Help a B2B Writer. HARO closed in December 2024, so we no longer use it.
Data-led stories
Original data or surveys from your product that journalists can cite.
Editorial pitches
Content ideas pitched directly to editors at top-tier sites in your niche.
Relevance first
We only target publications and pages that cover your topic.
New referring domains
We never pursue a publication that already links to you.
Verified & reported
Every live link is checked and reported with its URL and metrics.
High-authority sites in our campaigns
Our campaigns have included placements on sites such as HubSpot, Namecheap and Canva, and Sheikh is quoted in HubSpot's backlink strategies guide.
Our PR link building process
Fewer links, more preparation: each top-tier placement is planned around one target page.
Pick the pages
We choose the one or two pages where a top-tier link would lift rankings for your main keywords.
Find the angle
We find the story, data or expertise a top-tier editor or journalist would want.
Shortlist publications
We list relevant DR 90+ (or DR 80+) publications and remove any that already link to you.
Pitch
We pitch editors and journalists one by one. They decide what to publish.
Verify
We confirm each link or mention is live and indexed.
Report
You get the URL, the publication's metrics and, for placements, the 6-month guarantee date.
Campaigns that included DR 90+ placements
These were broader link building campaigns, not PR-only campaigns.
Webisoft: 1,304% Organic Traffic Growth in 14 Months
Webisoft grew organic traffic from 226 to 3,173 monthly visits (+1,304%) over a 14-month campaign. We built 280 niche-relevant links, starting from 51 referring domains.
Zluri: 544% Organic Traffic Growth in 14 Months
Zluri grew organic traffic from 8,700 to 56,000 monthly visits (+544%) over a 14-month campaign. We built 370 editorial links, starting from 124 referring domains.
Both campaigns included placements on DR 90+ sites such as hubspot.com; see each case study for the full link table. Each case study keeps one service label, the one used on its own case-study page. Measurement note: organic-traffic figures are Ahrefs estimates over each campaign period. Link building was one part of a wider SEO program, so the figures show correlation during the campaign, not link-only attribution. Domain Rating (DR) is a third-party Ahrefs metric we use as one screening input, alongside relevance, real organic traffic (2,000+ monthly visits), editorial quality and audience fit.

High-DR link and digital PR pricing
DR 90+ placements: 3 for $3,000/month. DR 80+ placements: 3 for $1,500/month. Digital PR campaigns are priced per campaign, and coverage can't be guaranteed.
You pay upfront per link or package. If a link doesn't go live, we replace it or refund it in full, and every live link carries a 6-month replacement guarantee.
Pricing updated October 2026.
