Alessio was a pleasure to deal with and had plenty of ideas that we could implement into our site. He has a great attention to detail, he is also very polite in understanding our goals and what we wanted to achieve with our website.
Thanks mate,
Alex & Rob
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. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

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 New Zealand Businesses
Digital PR is all about building your brand’s online presence through earned media, strategic content, and relationships with journalists, bloggers, and influencers. Unlike paid ads, digital PR focuses on gaining credible mentions, quality backlinks, and genuine brand awareness across digital platforms.
For New Zealand businesses, this matters more than ever. Our market is competitive yet tight-knit, and consumers here value authenticity and local relevance. When your brand gets featured on respected New Zealand news sites, industry blogs, or trusted online platforms, it signals credibility. That kind of third-party validation is hard to replicate with traditional advertising.
Understanding Digital PR in the New Zealand Market
New Zealand’s digital landscape has unique characteristics. The country is a small but highly connected market with strong regional media outlets, active online communities, and a growing appetite for locally relevant content. Digital PR strategies that work in the UK or US need tweaking here, what resonates in Auckland might differ from what works in Wellington or Christchurch.
Our approach at AGR Technology is rooted in understanding these nuances. We know which journalists cover tech stories, which bloggers influence the retail sector, and how to pitch stories that align with New Zealand’s cultural and business context. This local insight is crucial for campaigns that actually land, rather than getting lost in generic outreach.
How Digital PR Differs from Traditional PR
Traditional PR typically focused on print newspapers, TV spots, and radio interviews. Digital PR expands that to include online news sites, podcasts, blogs, social media influencers, and digital-first publications. But it’s not just about the platforms, it’s about the strategy.
Digital PR integrates with SEO. Every high-quality backlink from a reputable site boosts your domain authority and search rankings. It also ties into content marketing, social media, and reputation management. Traditional PR rarely considered how a story would drive organic traffic or improve Google rankings, digital PR does.
Another key difference? Speed and measurability. Digital campaigns can be tracked in real time. We can see which stories are getting traction, how many backlinks they generate, and what impact they have on website traffic and conversions. That level of insight allows us to optimize on the fly and prove ROI, something traditional PR struggled with.
Core Digital PR Services Available in New Zealand
When you partner with a digital PR agency like AGR Technology, you’re not just buying press releases. You’re accessing a suite of services designed to build your brand’s online authority and visibility across multiple channels.
Media Outreach and Online Press Coverage
This is the backbone of digital PR. We pitch your stories to journalists, editors, and online publications that matter to your audience. Whether it’s securing coverage on Stuff, NZ Herald, specialist industry sites, or influential blogs, we craft compelling angles that grab attention.
Our media contacts across New Zealand mean we can get your brand in front of the right eyes quickly. We don’t spam, every pitch is tailored, relevant, and newsworthy. The result? Credible mentions that drive traffic, enhance reputation, and improve SEO.
Content Creation and Distribution
Great digital PR starts with great content. We create newsworthy stories, data-driven reports, expert commentary, case studies, and thought leadership pieces that media outlets actually want to publish.
Once created, we distribute that content strategically. That might mean syndicating articles across industry platforms, guest posting on high-authority blogs, or packaging insights into formats that suit different channels, infographics for social, long-form articles for SEO, or snackable quotes for journalists.
Link Building and SEO Integration
One of the biggest advantages of digital PR is its impact on SEO. Every earned media placement on a reputable site typically includes a backlink to your website. These aren’t spammy directory links, they’re high-quality, contextual links from trusted domains.
At AGR Technology, we align digital PR campaigns with your SEO goals. We target publications with strong domain authority, ensure anchor text is optimized (but natural), and track how each link contributes to your search rankings. This integrated approach means your PR efforts directly support your visibility on Google.
Social Media Amplification and Influencer Partnerships
Getting media coverage is only half the battle. We amplify every story through social channels to maximise reach. That includes tagging relevant outlets, engaging with journalists who covered your story, and leveraging your own social presence.
We also connect brands with influencers and content creators who can extend your message authentically. Whether it’s a tech reviewer on YouTube, a business podcast, or a micro-influencer in your niche, these partnerships add credibility and reach beyond traditional media.
Benefits of Working with a New Zealand Digital PR Agency
You could try managing digital PR in-house, but there are clear advantages to working with a local agency that knows the New Zealand market inside out.
Local Market Knowledge and Media Connections
We’ve spent years building relationships with journalists, editors, bloggers, and influencers. We know what they’re looking for, how they prefer to be contacted, and which stories will resonate with their audiences.
This isn’t something you can replicate overnight. Media contacts take time to nurture, and a single misstep, like a poorly timed or irrelevant pitch, can close doors. At AGR Technology, our established relationships mean your brand gets a fair hearing and better placement opportunities.
We also understand the cultural context. New Zealand audiences value humility, authenticity, and local relevance. We craft stories that align with these values, avoiding the hype-driven language that might work overseas but falls flat here.
Building Brand Authority and Online Reputation
Every credible mention, every quality backlink, and every positive story contributes to your brand’s authority. Over time, consistent digital PR builds a reputation that’s hard to shake, and even harder for competitors to replicate.
When potential customers search for your brand or your industry online, you want them to find trusted third-party validation, not just your own marketing messages. Digital PR creates that ecosystem of credibility.
We also help manage and protect your online reputation. If negative stories or reviews surface, proactive digital PR can counterbalance them with positive coverage, pushing unfavourable content down in search results.
Conclusion
Digital PR is no longer optional for New Zealand businesses that want to compete online. It’s a powerful way to build credibility, improve search rankings, drive traffic, and establish your brand as an authority in your industry.
At AGR Technology, we bring local expertise, proven strategies, and a results-driven approach to every campaign. Whether you’re looking to launch a new product, build your online reputation, or simply get more visibility in a competitive market, we can help.
