When it comes to maximizing the success of your link-building campaigns, personalization is key. Every business has unique needs, and the choices you make when setting up your PressHERO campaign can significantly impact your results. From deciding whether to accept Nofollow links to selecting the right personas to represent your brand, these decisions shape the speed, relevance, and effectiveness of your overall strategy.

In this post, we’ll guide you through the most important campaign preferences and explain how to tailor them for your goals. We’ll also discuss the critical role of persona selection and how the right choice can supercharge your link-building efforts.

Understanding the Key Campaign Preferences

Syndicated Placements

Syndicated placements are a powerful way to increase your visibility across multiple platforms. These placements involve articles being shared across numerous high-authority publications, such as MSN, Yahoo, and Nasdaq.

At PressHERO, we ensure that you only pay for syndicated placements from websites with a Domain Rating (DR) of 70 or higher, guaranteeing that your links are coming from valuable sources. While opting into syndicated placements can give your campaign broader reach, opting out may slow the process. For most clients, we recommend accepting syndicated placements to boost visibility while maintaining quality.

Nofollow Links

Nofollow links, while often misunderstood, can still hold significant value—especially when they come from high-authority websites like Forbes, U.S. News, or Business Insider. These links can drive traffic, boost brand visibility, and even support your SEO efforts indirectly.

If you choose to opt out of Nofollow links, PressHERO will exclude publications that commonly apply them. However, doing so may reduce your link acquisition speed.

Email Reporting Preferences

Regular reporting helps you stay on top of your campaign’s progress. At PressHERO, we offer flexible email reporting options, so you can choose how frequently you’d like to be updated—whether that’s daily, weekly, or monthly.

• As soon as new placements are collected: For those who like real-time updates, this is the best option (max 1 email per day).
• Weekly reports: Delivered every Monday, offering a digest of the past week’s performance.
• Monthly reports: A comprehensive review on the 1st of each month for a broader picture of your campaign’s success.

By customizing your reporting frequency, you can maintain control and visibility over your campaign without being overwhelmed by updates.

The Impact of Preferences on Link Acquisition Speed

It’s important to note that every preference choice affects the pace of your link-building efforts. For example, opting out of syndicated placements or Nofollow links may slow down how quickly we can deliver high-quality links.

A broader approach to your campaign—where we cast a wider net to capture general but relevant links—can yield quicker results. However, if you restrict the campaign to focus solely on industry-specific publications, it may take longer to achieve the same volume of placements. Ultimately, the choice depends on your business goals: Do you prioritize speed, or do you want highly targeted links that align directly with your industry?

Selecting the Right Personas

Your public-facing personas are one of the most critical elements of your PressHERO campaign. The personas you select represent your brand in media queries and shape the type of placements we secure.

We typically recommend including the entire leadership team as public personas to give your brand a well-rounded presence. This often includes:

• CEO: Represents the vision and leadership behind your brand.
• CMO: Speaks to the marketing and customer engagement strategies.
• CFO: Can offer insights on financial strategy and business growth.
• Head of HR: Discusses culture, talent acquisition, and organizational growth.
• Product Specialist: Provides in-depth knowledge about the products or services your business offers.

Selecting a broad range of personas ensures we can respond to a variety of media opportunities, from business strategy to industry-specific insights. By doing so, you allow PressHERO to target the right queries, expanding the potential for link placements and media features.
