We pitch these outlets for earned coverage and, where they offer it, arrange clearly labelled contributed or sponsored placements. Listing an outlet does not mean it has endorsed us or our clients. We always tell you which type each placement is.

The problem

Great financial brands stay invisible for one reason: nobody credible is talking about them

Top finance and business publications are hard to get into. Editors are cautious, compliance slows everything down, and most agencies either send generic pitches or sell low-quality links that do nothing for trust.

The result is the same: competitors with a weaker product show up first in Google, in AI answers and in the press, simply because they are visible.

We fix that with a focused mix of editorial coverage, authority links and search strategy built for regulated financial brands.

What we do
  • Digital PR & Tier-1 placements

    Newsworthy stories, expert commentary and data-led campaigns placed on finance and business outlets, plus clearly labelled sponsored placements when you need certainty.

  • Link building

    Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 editorial links from real publishers in your markets, chosen for relevance and audience, not just metrics.

  • AI search visibility (GEO)

    Get your brand mentioned and cited in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini by building the mentions and content AI systems draw on.

  • SEO for financial brands

    Technical, content and authority work built around Google's standards for Your Money or Your Life topics.

  • PPC

    Paid search and paid social for regulated financial products.

Who we work with

icon

Payments, neobanks, lending, regtech and B2B fintech.

icon

Forex, CFDs, stocks and multi-asset platforms.

We understand the rules that shape financial marketing, including the UK FCA financial promotions regime, CySEC and ESMA requirements for CFD providers, and MiCA for crypto-asset services. We build campaigns so your compliance team can approve them quickly. We are not a law firm, and your compliance team always has final sign-off.

Transparency

Earned vs sponsored: what you are buying

We are open about how every placement is secured, because your brand’s reputation depends on it.

icon

Earned coverage

Journalists and editors choose to feature your story, data or expert comment. It carries the most credibility. Nobody can honestly guarantee it, so we don't.

icon

Contributed articles

Bylined expert articles accepted by an outlet's editors under their own guidelines.

icon

Sponsored placements

Paid content on a named publication, labelled by the publisher, with links marked rel="sponsored" in line with Google's guidelines. The only type of placement we can guarantee, and we always tell you which is which before you commit.

Case study

From 2.2 million to 4.7 million organic visits a month

A global multi-asset investing platform has worked with us since the start of 2020. Our link building helped take its monthly organic traffic from 2.2 million to 4.7 million between March 2021 and January 2022 (+113% year on year), as the brand added $21 million in revenue in 8 months.

In 2025 we scaled up to 47 Tier-1 placements (up from 15 in the last four months of 2024) and 755 live editorial links across 7 markets. Selected outlets: Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, Investing.com, Finextra and FXStreet.

How we work

Four steps, no surprises

icon

1. Snapshot and strategy

We map your current visibility in Google, AI answers and the press against 3 competitors, then agree goals, markets and budget.

icon

2. Stories and targets

We build a list of target outlets by tier and market and develop angles editors want: data, expert commentary and market trends.

icon

3. Create, review, approve

AI tools help us research and draft faster. Every piece is written and edited by our team and approved by you (and your compliance team) before it goes anywhere.

icon

4. Publish and report

You get every live URL, the placement type (earned, contributed or sponsored) and monthly reporting on links, rankings, traffic and AI mentions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Only sponsored placements can be guaranteed, because you are paying the publisher for the space. We always label these clearly, and the publisher marks links as sponsored in line with Google’s guidelines. Earned coverage can’t be guaranteed by anyone, because editors decide what they publish. We tell you upfront which type each placement is.

Engagements are priced as monthly retainers or campaigns. Typical ranges: Digital PR $5,000-$15,000 per month, link building $3,000-$12,000 per month, SEO $3,000-$8,000 per month. Sponsored placements are quoted per outlet. The Visibility Snapshot is free. See pricing.

In the 2025 fintech case study, Tier-1 placements went live between 7 and 38 days after outreach started, and Tier-2/3 placements within 1 to 10 days. SEO and AI visibility gains build over months, not weeks, so we report monthly and review the plan each quarter.

We write with the relevant rules in mind (for example FCA, CySEC/ESMA and MiCA requirements) and build in the review steps your compliance team needs. Your compliance team gives final approval before anything is published.

Our recent campaigns cover the US, UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, France and the UAE, with content written by native speakers.

We use AI tools to speed up research and first drafts. Every piece is written, edited and fact-checked by our team and approved by you before publication. In the fintech case study this cut production time by about 70% without skipping human review.
