The services that run Year in review

Each service is $500 a month a la carte. Run one or run the set.

  1. 1

    Digital PR & Content Scripting That Strengthens Authority

    Owns the pitch. Turns your first-party numbers into a story an editor can run without calling you for more, then sends it to the outlets that cover this date every year.

    First move: Pull the one number from your own records that nobody else can publish, then write the pitch around it.

  2. 2

    GEO & Blog SEO That Builds Trust Over Time

    Builds the page the coverage points at, written so AI answer engines and search can both quote it. Without a page to link to, the pitch has nowhere to land.

    First move: Publish the data page two weeks before the pitch-by date so it is indexed when the first journalist checks it.

  3. 3

    Media Placements That Build Authority

    Places you in features and interviews tied to the date, where the same story gets a second and third life beyond the first link.

    First move: Send the angle to shows recording two to four weeks ahead of the date.
