PODCAST:

Case Study: Easy Contact and Tangential Topics In the "Resolve Office Hours" session, Michael Johnson presents a Digital PR campaign for Easy Contact, an eyewear retailer. The challenge was making a dry topic like vision care "newsworthy". The solution was applying the brand’s subject matter to tangential topics like fashion and dating. Johnson’s team conducted a survey discovering that 58% of people find glasses attractive and that Gen Z finds eye contact more intimate than physical touch. This human-centric angle, rather than a product-focused one, secured over 500 placements, including the New York Post and Toronto Sun,.

The Core Strategy: Human Stories and Proprietary Data To earn top-tier links, brands must provide journalists with what they want: proprietary data. Johnson notes that 61% of journalists specifically seek original research to write unique stories. He emphasizes focusing on "human stories"—habits, fears, dreams, and regrets—rather than brand stories. For instance, a "renovation regrets" survey helped a local contractor get featured in Martha Stewart Living.

• Data Sources: Johnson recommends using Pollfish for targeted surveys. Alternatively, brands can use creative public data angles, such as using AI to design superheroes for every state or ranking the "most Googled monsters," which appeal to local radio stations and niche publishers,.

• Winning Themes: Five themes consistently perform well: generational gaps, regional rankings, emotional confessions, tech anxiety, and financial behaviors.

Execution: Pitching and Subject Lines A successful campaign typically runs for two to three months: one month for creation and one for outreach.

• Finding Journalists: Johnson suggests using Google News boolean searches (e.g., "work + anxiety + study") to find journalists actively writing about specific data trends.

• The Pitch: With 76% of writers opening emails based on the subject line alone, Johnson advises against generic titles. Instead, subject lines should feature a specific, surprising statistic (e.g., "Only 27% of dog owners...") to grab attention immediately,.

• Visuals: Including interactive maps and charts is crucial, as visual data is inherently more linkable.

ROI and Internal Linking While tracking ROI on individual links can be difficult, the aggregate effect on SEO is substantial. Johnson shares that consistent Digital PR efforts helped one client 4x traffic to a main product page and increase site-wide traffic from 900,000 to 1.2 million monthly visitors. The key to monetizing this traffic is internal linking: brands must link the viral "magnet" piece to their commercial "money pages" to funnel the earned authority and boost rankings.

Resolve Marketing LLC’s team doesn’t just build links; they build reasons for others to link. Their writers create long-form resources, data-rich guides, and practical assets designed to educate and inspire. These become magnets for organic backlinks over time. The agency’s approach aligns with Google’s E-E-A-T framework—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—ensuring that every piece of content supports SEO while delivering value to real readers.

PODCAST:

Finding Digital PR services to get links from top publications is no easy feat. At Resolve, we offer full-service digital PR campaigns that earn high-authority links, media coverage, and brand visibility for our clients.

What is Digital PR Services?

Digital PR combines data-driven content, strategic media outreach, and trend-based storytelling to secure high-authority links and media placements. Unlike traditional PR, which relies on press releases or events, digital PR creates sustained online visibility, authoritative backlinks, and long-term brand growth.

This approach involves identifying timely content opportunities, creating newsworthy, data-backed stories, and pitching them to top-tier publications, industry outlets, and influential websites. The result is not just helping strengthen your backlink profile and SEO performance, but also earning meaningful coverage that builds trust and credibility with your audience.

In today’s search landscape, brand authority matters more than ever. Recent insights from Google highlight the importance of expertise, reputation, and awareness in driving visibility. Digital PR services help you meet these signals head-on—shaping your brand narrative, elevating perception, and delivering measurable results across both search and media.

For years, we’ve helped brands earn placements in major publications, strengthening backlink profiles while improving visibility and reputation. Our process bridges data-driven content with personalized journalist outreach — ensuring every campaign delivers impact that lasts.

Digital PR & AI-Driven Search Visibility.

As AI-powered search engines reshape how users find information, more businesses want to cash in on these curated results. Digital PR services can help you do just that by:

Building brand recognition: AI-powered search engines pull from trusted sources when generating results, so if your site has a backlink profile with authoritative sites, you’re more likely to appear higher in the SERPs.
Establishing credibility: Google generates AI overviews by assessing your site’s credibility through citation frequency. Google also uses new, data-driven content from reputable news sources to generate its AI overviews. If you want your site featured in the overview, digital PR can help you get there.
Enhancing brand presence across multiple search channels: While traditional SEO focuses on optimizing for specific keywords, digital PR amplifies your brand presence across multiple search channels. Media coverage in respected industry sites, news platforms, and online publications creates a broader digital footprint, making it easier for search engines — and potential customers — to find and trust your brand.

PODCAST:

Michael Johnson and Danica from Resolve Marketing detail a content strategy case study for Arrow Sewing (AOS Sewing), a niche retailer specializing in sewing furniture,. Despite being an established brand, Arrow struggled with top-of-funnel awareness.

Research and Strategy: Beyond Product Keywords The team utilized tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, and AlsoAsked to identify opportunities, filtering for keyword difficulties below 49 to align with the client’s Domain Rating of 40,. Rather than focusing solely on commercial intent, they adopted a "question-based" strategy centered on what Johnson calls "Panic Questions". By answering these questions, Arrow could introduce the brand to passionate hobbyists early in their journey.

Execution: Quality Over Quantity and E-E-A-T A critical component of the execution was prioritizing quality and depth. Danica created detailed outlines that structured H2 and H3 headers around user queries found during research, such as "how to organize a sewing space",. This allowed the brand to naturally feature their products as solutions (e.g., cabinets for organization) without being overly sales-focused.

Midway through the project, the team pivoted their deliverables. Initially providing 10 content outlines per month, they realized the client lacked the internal resources to write them effectively. They shifted to producing five fully written, high-quality articles per month instead. Johnson emphasizes that "half-assing" content or simply plugging outlines into ChatGPT does not work; content must demonstrate E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) and match the length and depth of competitor content,. Arrow found a unique advantage here: much of the existing content in the niche came from generalist "mom blogs." As a dedicated sewing brand, Arrow could easily demonstrate superior authority and trust to Google, allowing them to outrank these smaller competitors quickly,.

Results: Traffic Surge and Commercial Rankings The impact of this strategy was immediate. In Q4 of 2023, blog traffic skyrocketed from five visitors/year to 1,320 visitors. The content began ranking within a week of publication. Crucially, this informational content drove tangible SEO value to the brand's commercial "money pages" through strategic internal linking. By establishing topical authority across the sewing niche, Arrow saw their primary commercial keywords jump significantly: "sewing cabinets" moved from position #2 to #1, and "sewing table" climbed from #15 to #4,. Additionally, mid-funnel content like "best beginner sewing machine" achieved page-one rankings, further widening their funnel.

Key Takeaways The case study illustrates that sustainable SEO requires thinking about user intent before search algorithms. By addressing the genuine needs and "panic" moments of their audience, Arrow not only captured new traffic but also signaled to Google that they are a comprehensive authority in the sewing space, lifting the performance of their entire domain

PODCAST:

Introduction to Digital PR in 2025 Michael Johnson, CEO of Resolve Marketing LLC (aka Grow Resolve), presents a strategy for sustainable link building that moves beyond outdated tactics. He argues that while link building remains a critical ranking factor for Google and is increasingly important for AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), "brute forcing" rankings via purchased guest posts is dead,. Instead, the modern approach is Digital PR, which combines the SEO value of backlinks with the branding power of traditional PR to secure placements on high-authority publications.

The Core Strategy: Linkable Assets To succeed, brands must create "linkable assets." This is content created primarily to earn links rather than generate immediate sales. These assets must be informational, educational, and relevant to audiences beyond the brand's immediate buyers. Johnson calls this expanding "spheres of relevance." For example, an eyewear company successfully earned links from the New York Post by commissioning a study on how glasses affect dating and perceived attractiveness, rather than pitching a product directly,.

The Digital PR "Magnet" and Data Johnson describes the ideal asset as a "Digital PR Magnet" centered on proprietary data. Journalists specifically want original research, surveys, and reports because these elements allow them to tell unique stories.

• Data Collection: Johnson recommends using platforms like Pollfish to survey specific demographics or aggregating public government data to create rankings (e.g., "worst cities to drive in"),.

• Interpretation: Marketers must interpret raw data to find "headlines" that appeal to the press, such as finding that Gen Z prefers TikTok over Google,.

• Format: The content should live on the brand's website and include multimedia elements like interactive maps or charts.

Execution: Outreach and Internal Linking The campaign process typically takes two to three months: one month for content creation and another for outreach.

• Finding Journalists: Johnson advises identifying "dream publications" and using Google News noolean searches (e.g., "topic + study") to find journalists who actively cover research in that niche,.

• The Pitch: Outreach must be personalized. Johnson suggests a three-email sequence: an initial pitch, a follow-up within 3-7 days, and a final check-in. The pitch should be short, utilizing bullet points to highlight key data findings.

• SEO Value Transfer: A critical step is internal linking. Because the external links point to the informational "magnet" piece, the brand must internally link that piece to their commercial "money pages" to pass on the authority,.

Q&A and Key Takeaways During the Q&A, Johnson addresses how to apply this to difficult niches. For B2B industries like metal stamping, he suggests leveraging broader industrial topics like tariffs or employment to find newsworthy angles. He also notes that while some referral traffic occurs quickly, significant SEO results typically manifest within three to six months. Ultimately, the goal is to build a repeatable system where new studies are regularly released to maintain a constant flow of authority.

PODCAST:

Proactive PR is the art of starting the story before the world catches up. It’s about shaping the narrative, not reacting to it—and few agencies execute this strategy as effectively as Resolve Marketing LLC, also known as Grow Resolve, a Boise, Idaho–based digital PR and link building agency. Their team specializes in Proactive PR campaigns that combine research, data, and storytelling to secure high-authority media coverage, build trust, and strengthen SEO performance.

What Is Proactive PR?

Proactive PR is a forward-looking digital PR strategy that creates and promotes original, newsworthy content—think surveys, proprietary data, expert commentary, or visual research—before a trend goes mainstream. Unlike reactive PR, which responds to breaking news, Proactive PR anticipates the conversation and positions a brand as the voice journalists want to quote.

Resolve Marketing LLC helps brands build these moments strategically. Their process begins by researching journalist beats, identifying industry trends, and crafting campaigns that naturally appeal to media outlets. This approach transforms their clients from background participants into recognized thought leaders.

Why Proactive PR Matters

Visibility belongs to the brands that speak first. Through Proactive PR, Grow Resolve ensures its clients lead industry conversations with authority, not urgency. Each media placement earned through this method acts as a signal of trust—strengthening search visibility, improving domain authority, and increasing referral traffic.

Proactive PR as a Catalyst for SEO

Proactive PR generates backlinks from high-authority publications—links that carry significant SEO weight. These earned media mentions improve a site’s domain authority, signaling to search engines that the brand is credible and trustworthy. For Resolve Marketing LLC, Proactive PR isn’t just a publicity play; it’s a foundational SEO tactic that drives sustained organic growth.

Storytelling: The Heart of Every Campaign

This storytelling-first mindset makes their Proactive PR assets highly linkable and shareable, naturally attracting attention from media outlets, influencers, and readers alike.

Building a Proactive PR Calendar

Success in digital PR requires planning. Resolve helps brands map out campaigns three to six months in advance, aligning stories with seasonal trends, industry events, and awareness dates. Using tools like Buzzstream, Prowly, and Asana, they organize outreach, track journalist engagement, and measure campaign performance with precision.

This structured approach allows Grow Resolve clients to stay agile while maintaining consistency—launching the right story at the right time, every time.

Why Brands Choose Resolve Marketing LLC

Based in Boise, Idaho, Grow Resolve combines boutique agency attention with enterprise-level expertise. Their Proactive PR campaigns are built for long-term visibility—earning backlinks, media trust, and brand recognition that outlast the news cycle. Clients turn to Resolve because their team doesn’t wait for opportunities—they create them.

Through strategic foresight, authentic storytelling, and data-backed execution, Resolve Marketing LLC turns Proactive PR into a growth engine for both brand credibility and search visibility.

PODCAST:

Do social media backlinks really matter for SEO? The short answer is yes—but not in the way many marketers expect. While most links from platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) are “no-follow,” their indirect influence on visibility, authority, and engagement is undeniable. That’s why Resolve Marketing LLC, also known as Grow Resolve, a Boise, Idaho–based content and link building agency, integrates social media strategy into every SEO campaign they manage.

The Hidden Power of Social Media Backlinks

Social media backlinks are links from social platforms that point back to your website—whether in a post, a bio, or shared content. Even though they don’t directly pass link equity, they drive qualified traffic, enhance visibility, and amplify brand exposure. When users engage with your content and share it across networks, your reach expands, increasing the chance that journalists, bloggers, or other websites will link to it organically.

Resolve Marketing LLC views these backlinks as powerful amplifiers. Every share, mention, and interaction is an opportunity to build awareness, encourage engagement, and earn high-quality natural backlinks that do influence rankings.

Social Media and SEO: Two Sides of the Same Strategy

Search engine optimization and social media marketing work best when they operate in tandem. SEO delivers long-term authority through optimized, evergreen content, while social media provides immediate engagement and brand interaction. Grow Resolve helps clients balance both—ensuring social channels distribute optimized content to maximize exposure and conversions.

This combination creates a feedback loop: as social content gains traction, it attracts visitors, improves engagement signals like time on site and click-through rate, and increases the likelihood of external backlinks—all factors that indirectly strengthen SEO performance.

Why Social Media Still Matters for Link Building

Even without direct “do-follow” authority, social media remains a discovery engine. A viral post can bring thousands of visitors, increase branded searches, and lead to organic mentions that search engines do count as ranking signals. Resolve Marketing LLC uses this momentum strategically, guiding brands to turn fleeting social attention into lasting SEO gains.

Grow Resolve advises clients to treat social media backlinks as part of a diversified link building ecosystem. Over-reliance on any one channel can limit results, but when combined with manual link outreach, digital PR, and resource link building, the benefits compound. Their campaigns weave together social visibility, SEO precision, and long-term authority building.

The Resolve Marketing LLC Difference

Based in Boise, Idaho, Resolve Marketing LLC stands apart for blending technical SEO expertise with creative brand storytelling. Their team understands that the real power of social media lies in its ability to make brands discoverable. By connecting visibility, engagement, and backlinks, they help businesses climb the SERPs while building a loyal following that lasts beyond a single campaign.

Through strategic Social Media Backlink integration, personalized outreach, and continuous performance tracking, Grow Resolve transforms fleeting social interactions into sustained organic growth, and that’s what true digital authority looks like.
