I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

What Is Digital PR and Why It Matters for Australian Businesses
Understanding Digital PR in the Australian Market
Digital PR is the practice of using online channels, news sites, blogs, influencers, podcasts, and social platforms, to build brand awareness, earn authoritative backlinks, and shape public perception. Unlike traditional PR, which focuses on print media and broadcast coverage, digital PR targets online publications and leverages SEO to amplify reach and long-term impact.
For Australian businesses, digital PR offers a unique advantage. Australia’s media landscape is competitive but relationship-driven. Journalists and editors value locally relevant stories, data-led insights, and content that resonates with Australian audiences. A well-executed digital PR campaign doesn’t just get your name out there, it positions your business as a thought leader, drives referral traffic, and strengthens your domain authority in Google’s eyes.
In practical terms, this means:
- Your brand appears in trusted Australian publications for example The Sydney Morning Herald, News.com.au, Forbes Australia, Canberra Times, Smart Company, and industry-specific outlets.
- You earn high-quality backlinks that signal to search engines your site is credible and relevant.
- Your online reputation is actively managed and enhanced, not left to chance.
Digital PR vs Traditional PR: Key Differences
Traditional PR and digital PR share common goals, building reputation, generating buzz, securing media coverage, but they diverge significantly in execution and measurability.
Traditional PR typically focuses on:
- Print newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media (TV, radio).
- Press releases sent to journalists with limited trackability.
- Brand awareness without direct measurement of web traffic or SEO impact.
Digital PR, on the other hand, is:
- Data-driven: Every placement, click, and backlink is tracked and analysed.
- SEO-focused: Links from reputable sites directly influence search rankings.
- Scalable and cost-effective: Campaigns can be amplified through social media, email, and digital distribution channels.
- Measurable ROI: You can quantify increases in traffic, domain rating, keyword rankings, and conversions.
For Australian businesses competing in saturated markets, whether it’s eCommerce, finance, health, or tech, digital PR provides a competitive edge that traditional methods simply can’t match. It’s measurable, strategic, and aligned with how consumers discover and evaluate brands today.
Core Digital PR Services Offered by Australian Agencies
Link Building and Media Outreach
One of the primary goals of digital PR is earning high-quality, editorially placed backlinks from authoritative websites. These aren’t spammy directory links or low-value blog comments, they’re contextual mentions in articles published by reputable news outlets, industry blogs, and digital magazines.
We engage in strategic media outreach by:
- Building relationships with journalists, editors, and bloggers in your industry.
- Pitching newsworthy stories, expert commentary, and data-driven insights.
- Securing placements that include natural backlinks to your site.
This process requires understanding what makes a story appealing to editors and how to frame your business as a credible source. At AGR Technology, we don’t just blast generic press releases, we craft targeted pitches that align with editorial calendars, trending topics, and audience interests.
Content Creation and Linkable Assets
Successful digital PR campaigns are built on compelling content. Linkable assets are pieces of content designed to attract attention, earn shares, and generate backlinks naturally. These might include:
- Original research and data: Surveys, studies, and reports that provide unique insights.
- Infographics: Visual storytelling that simplifies complex information.
- Expert guides and thought leadership articles: In-depth content that positions your brand as an authority.
- Interactive tools or calculators: Resources that offer genuine value to users.
We work with you to create content that journalists want to cite and audiences want to share. The better the asset, the more likely it is to earn organic coverage and links across multiple platforms.
Online Reputation Management
Your online reputation can make or break your business. Digital PR isn’t just about promotion, it’s about managing how your brand is perceived across the web.
Reputation management includes:
- Monitoring brand mentions: Tracking what’s being said about your business online.
- Responding to negative coverage: Addressing issues proactively and transparently.
- Amplifying positive stories: Ensuring favourable coverage reaches the right audience.
- Crisis management: Having a plan in place for when things go wrong.
At AGR Technology, we monitor your brand’s digital footprint continuously and respond strategically to protect and enhance your reputation. In Australia’s tight-knit business community, trust and credibility are everything.
How Digital PR Boosts SEO and Google Rankings
Digital PR and SEO are deeply intertwined. While SEO focuses on optimising your site’s structure, content, and technical elements, digital PR addresses one of Google’s most important ranking factors: backlinks.
Here’s how digital PR directly impacts your SEO performance:
1. Earns High-Authority Backlinks
Google’s algorithm treats backlinks as votes of confidence. When a reputable site links to yours, it signals that your content is trustworthy and valuable. Digital PR campaigns secure these links from authoritative domains, news sites, industry publications, and trusted blogs, which carry significantly more weight than low-quality links.
2. Increases Domain Authority
Your domain authority (DA) is a metric that predicts how well your site will rank on search engines. Earning links from high-DA sites improves your own DA over time, making it easier to rank for competitive keywords.
3. Drives Referral Traffic
Every media placement is an opportunity to attract new visitors. When readers click through from an article or news story, you’re gaining targeted traffic from an audience already interested in your industry.
4. Enhances Brand Search Volume
As your brand gains visibility through digital PR, more people search for your business name on Google. Increased branded search volume is a positive signal to Google that your brand is relevant and worth ranking higher.
5. Supports Content Marketing Efforts
Digital PR amplifies your content marketing strategy. A well-promoted blog post, research report, or case study can earn links and shares that boost its visibility and ranking potential.
At AGR Technology, we integrate digital PR with your broader SEO strategy to maximise impact. We don’t operate in silos, our campaigns are designed to support and accelerate your search performance.
The Digital PR Campaign Process
Strategy Development and Audience Analysis
Every successful digital PR campaign starts with a solid strategy. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, we take the time to understand your business, goals, target audience, and competitive landscape.
Our strategy development process includes:
- Goal setting: What do you want to achieve? More traffic? Higher rankings? Brand awareness?
- Audience research: Who are you trying to reach? What media do they consume?
- Competitor analysis: What’s working for your competitors? Where are the gaps?
- Content ideation: What stories or data can we leverage to earn coverage?
- Media mapping: Identifying the publications, journalists, and platforms most likely to cover your story.
We also consider seasonality, trending topics, and upcoming events that can provide timely hooks for outreach.
Campaign Execution and Distribution
Once the strategy is locked in, we move into execution. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Content Creation: We produce the linkable asset, whether it’s a research report, infographic, expert commentary, or interactive tool.
Media Outreach: We pitch your story to carefully selected journalists and editors. Our team has established relationships with key media contacts across Australia, which increases the likelihood of coverage.
Follow-Up: Persistence pays off. We follow up strategically without being pushy, ensuring your pitch stays top of mind.
Amplification: We don’t stop at media placement. We amplify coverage through social media, email newsletters, and your owned channels to maximise reach.
Tracking and Reporting: Every link, mention, and piece of coverage is tracked. We provide transparent reporting so you can see exactly what’s been achieved and how it’s impacting your SEO and traffic.
At AGR Technology, we handle the entire process from start to finish, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Choosing the Right Digital PR Agency in Australia
Key Factors to Consider
Not all digital PR agencies are created equal. Choosing the right partner can mean the difference between a campaign that delivers real results and one that wastes your budget.
Here’s what to look for:
Proven Track Record: Ask for case studies and examples of past campaigns. What placements have they secured? What results did they achieve?
Media Relationships: Do they have established connections with journalists and editors in your industry?
SEO Expertise: Digital PR isn’t just about coverage, it’s about earning links that improve your search rankings. The agency should understand SEO principles and integrate them into campaigns.
Transparent Reporting: You should receive clear, detailed reports showing placements, backlinks, traffic, and other KPIs.
Industry Experience: Have they worked with businesses in your sector? Do they understand the Australian market?
Creative Thinking: The best agencies don’t just follow templates, they come up with innovative ideas that capture attention.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
Before signing a contract, ask these questions:
- Can you show examples of media placements you’ve secured for clients?
- How do you measure the success of a digital PR campaign?
- What’s your process for pitching stories to journalists?
- Do you have relationships with media contacts in my industry?
- How do you integrate digital PR with SEO and content marketing?

At AGR Technology, we’re happy to answer these questions and more. We believe in transparency, collaboration, and delivering measurable outcomes. If you’re serious about building your brand’s online presence and earning high-quality backlinks, we’d love to chat about how we can help.
Top Industries Benefiting from Digital PR in Australia
Digital PR works across industries, but some sectors see particularly strong results due to the nature of their audience and competitive landscape.
1. Ecommerce and Retail
Online retailers benefit enormously from digital PR. Media coverage drives traffic, builds trust, and earns backlinks that improve product page rankings. Seasonal campaigns (like holiday shopping guides or product launches) are especially effective.
2. Technology and SaaS
Tech companies and software providers use digital PR to establish thought leadership, announce product updates, and share industry insights. Data-driven campaigns and expert commentary perform well in this space.
