Analytics
Organic traffic grew as placements compounded over time. This is the Digital PR “authority flywheel”: trusted mentions and links build credibility first—then rankings and traffic follow.
Introduction
BloomsyBox, a flower subscription eCommerce brand, wanted to scale organic traffic and grow revenue in a competitive category. To do that, they needed more authoritative mentions and backlinks from trusted lifestyle and home publications—signals that build credibility, improve rankings, and drive higher-intent shoppers to the site. This case study breaks down the outreach strategy and the results achieved over 10 months.
Objectives
- Increase qualified organic traffic from shoppers searching for flower subscriptions, gifts, and seasonal occasions.
- Earn authoritative backlinks + brand mentions from relevant lifestyle/home publishers to strengthen trust signals.
- Improve rankings for high-intent collection/category keywords that influence revenue.
- Support revenue growth by turning visibility into more subscriptions and gift orders.
The Project
BloomsyBox set out to grow beyond branded search by building authority in the eyes of both Google and potential customers. We started with a quick content and keyword scan to identify the pages that should benefit most (subscription, gifting, seasonal, and collection pages). From there, we executed a two-part authority plan: (1) Digital PR to earn branded mentions and homepage-level authority, and (2) targeted link insertions to support deeper SEO pages with keyword-relevant context.
Link Insertion Strategy
We placed contextual links on relevant, existing articles across lifestyle, home, and gifting-related sites. Each placement was selected for topical fit and natural context, using a clean anchor strategy designed to support priority collections and subscription pages without over-optimization.
Digital PR Strategy
In parallel, we ran consistent Digital PR outreach to journalists at top lifestyle and home publications, positioning BloomsyBox as a go-to brand for gifting moments, seasonal flower trends, and subscription-based convenience. These branded editorial mentions helped build trust at scale—supporting higher click-through rates, stronger domain authority signals, and compounding organic growth over time.
Results & Outcomes
- Authority growth: 54 earned placements with an average DR of 79, strengthening overall site credibility.
- Ranking lift: Improved visibility for high-intent subscription and gifting queries across key pages.
- Traffic impact: A 555% increase in organic traffic over the 10-month campaign as authority compounded.
Between September 2023 and July 2024, we secured 54 placements across recognized lifestyle and home publications, with an average DR of 79. As these mentions accumulated, organic traffic climbed significantly—driven by stronger authority signals, improved rankings, and increased trust with shoppers searching in-category.
Some examples of earned placements include:
- Martha Stewart (DR 88): 17 Winter Garden Activities That Will Keep Your Green Thumb Busy Until Spring
- Real Homes (DR 76): How to Care for Calla Lilies
- Homes & Gardens (DR 80): Best spring flowers for shade
- U.S. News & World Report (DR 91): Best Pruning Shears of 2024
This campaign shows what happens when Digital PR and targeted placements work together: stronger authority, better rankings for revenue-driving pages, and meaningful traffic growth that compounds over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently
Asked Questions
Links and editorial mentions are third-party validation. They help Google understand your authority and improve rankings over time. They also strengthen the trusted “signals” AI tools look for when deciding which brands to cite and recommend—especially when those mentions come from reputable publications.
AI systems tend to surface brands they can verify through credible, independent sources. Digital PR earns those signals by getting your experts quoted and your brand mentioned on authoritative sites. The result: stronger brand authority across the web—which can increase the likelihood of being referenced in AI answers, summaries, and recommendations.
White-hat link building follows search engine guidelines and focuses on earning links through real editorial coverage, quality content, and legitimate outreach (e.g., Qwoted/HARO-style media requests).
Black-hat tactics try to manipulate rankings through schemes (link networks, hidden links, spam). They may produce short-term wins but carry real penalty risk.
We only use white-hat, editorial-first methods designed for long-term, sustainable growth.
Yes. Our team handles the writing—research, angle selection, and journalist-ready responses. We also run quality checks (grammar + originality). If you prefer to contribute, we can incorporate your input and approvals, but we’re built to be turnkey.
Most clients start seeing placements within 2–6 weeks, depending on niche, spokesperson fit, and publisher timelines. Digital PR has natural lag because we’re working with journalists and editorial calendars. The upside is that a consistent monthly pipeline compounds—work done this month often yields placements in the following weeks/months.
We guarantee delivery of the placement count in your package that meets the agreed quality criteria (e.g., minimum DR, relevance/traffic checks—defined upfront).
We can’t guarantee a specific publication, because final decisions are made by editors and journalists. If a placement doesn’t meet the agreed standards, we replace it.
Most editorial placements use branded or natural anchors (e.g., your brand name or company name). That’s normal for real journalism and is often safest long-term. When there’s a strong fit, we may also earn contextual links to relevant internal pages or blog posts—but final anchor text is always at the publisher’s discretion.
Sometimes an article published on one outlet gets republished (“syndicated”) to larger sites. That can significantly increase exposure and referral potential.
We track syndications when they occur. For counting purposes, we follow the rules in your package (e.g., counting one qualifying syndication per original placement when it meets the stated DR/quality threshold).
