⚡ How a reactive and expert commentary PR campaign for an online passport photo business generated 10+ backlinks from massive DR 90 news websites

Fery shares how the Search Intelligence team generated 10+ backlinks from massive DR 90 news websites like The Sun, Belfast Live, Wales Online, and more.

They developed a reactive and expert commentary PR for an online passport photo client for which they wanted to leverage the travel disruptions that happened last year in the UK to build links to their website:

• They first noticed that searches for “fast track passport appointments” exploded 600% on Google and searches for “passport delays” had also increased by 500% in the last 90 days. They put the above insights into a nice email.
• Alongside the Google Trends data from above, they also added some great expert commentary on behalf of their client, about how to prevent your application from being rejected.
• For example, did you know that showing your teeth and fake tan, alongside facial piercings are some of the most common reasons for passport application rejections? Now you do.
