How to Prepare Your Business for PressHERO Onboarding
Table of Contents
Starting a new link-building campaign can be exciting, but preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and successful experience. At PressHERO, we specialize in acquiring white-hat backlinks from high-authority websites through strategic journalist outreach. We offer transparent, fixed pricing without hidden fees and a satisfaction guarantee including free replacements.
Proper onboarding lays the foundation for your link-building campaign. The more thorough your onboarding, the faster and more effective your placements will be, leading to greater SEO impact.
In this post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to do before your PressHERO onboarding begins, so you can hit the ground running.
Gather Required Information
Identify Key Personas
Your leadership team personas are the face of your brand in media outreach. The more personas you include, the more diverse the media opportunities we can target on your behalf. This increases the range of topics we can respond to, which boosts your placement velocity.
LinkedIn Profiles
Journalists often verify credentials through LinkedIn before including sources in their stories. Make sure the LinkedIn profiles of your key personas are current and optimized to align with your branding and areas of expertise.
High-Quality Headshots
Professional photos are crucial for media pitches. If you don’t have professional headshots, we provide resources and tools to help you obtain quality images.
Background Information
We’ll need background information to craft compelling pitches:
- Company Information: Your mission, services or products, and industry positioning.
- Individual Persona Information: Experience, achievements, and areas of expertise. Much of this can be extracted from your websites, LinkedIn profiles, interviews, and blog posts.
Fill in the Preferences Questionnaire
This is an essential step in the onboarding process. The questionnaire captures your preferences for:
- Link types: Nofollow links, repeat placements, syndicated content.
- Reporting frequency: Daily, weekly, or monthly reports.
- Report delivery: Email addresses where reports should be sent.
These preferences help us tailor the campaign to your specific goals and communication style.
Setting Clear Expectations
Profile Building
Once we have your information, we build comprehensive persona profiles. This process requires no further input from you — we set up everything so your campaign is perfectly positioned from day one.
Campaign Kick-off
You’ll receive an email notification when your campaign officially begins. From that point, we start reaching out to journalists on your behalf.
Volume Variability
Monthly backlink volume varies based on several factors:
- The number and diversity of key personas
- Their authoritativeness and expertise
- The breadth of topics they can speak to
More credentialed and versatile teams naturally open up more media opportunities, boosting link velocity.
Effective Communication and Collaboration
Designating a Point of Contact
Assign a dedicated team member as your primary PressHERO contact. This ensures smooth information flow and prompt issue resolution throughout the campaign.
Providing Feedback
Timely feedback on placements is crucial, especially for utilizing our free replacement guarantee. If a placement doesn’t meet your expectations, let us know promptly so we can secure a replacement.
Regular Check-ins
Schedule regular updates to stay informed about campaign progress. These check-ins allow us to discuss strategy adjustments and ensure alignment with your evolving business goals.
Preparing for Long-Term Success
Continuous Improvement
Use your initial placements to refine your strategy. Assess early performance metrics and use those insights to optimize future results.
