Not every campaign lands a ton of links, and that's fine. A dozen of the right placements beat a long list of low-authority ones, especially once TV picks it up.

For a career services client, we surveyed workers nationwide and asked them one question: how much of your salary would you give up to skip your commute entirely?

The answers were enough that local newsrooms across the country picked it up.

The company got placements in:

→ New York Post - DR 91, 9.03M monthly traffic
→ Mercury News - DR 87, 237.7K monthly traffic
→ ABC7 News - DR 83, 681.6K monthly traffic (link + TV coverage)
→ Dispatch.com - DR 83, 171.9K monthly traffic
→ NBC Bay Area - DR 82, 185.7K monthly traffic (TV coverage)
→ Press Democrat - DR 81, 70.2K monthly traffic
→ East Bay Times - DR 78, 43K monthly traffic

The campaign also got picked up in a few social media posts, and the top one hit 600+ reactions and 70+ comments.

Most local businesses think the more you spend, the more leads you get, but it's only half true.

A local service company in the Bay Area increased its Google Ads spend by 27% this year. Instead of paying more for the same results, they got way more for their money.

Here's the year-over-year breakdown (July 2026 vs. July 2025):

Clicks: 1.6K (+46%) - nearly half as many potential customers landing on their site

Impressions: 14.5K (+12%) - more people seeing the ads

Avg. CPC: $8.25 (−13%) - each click got cheaper

CTR: 11.1% (+30%) - more people who saw the ad actually clicked it

Conversions: 191 (+6%) - more leads and booked jobs

The takeaway: more budget didn't make this campaign better, but ongoing optimization did.

If you haven't reviewed your Google Ads campaigns in the last few months, you're probably paying more per lead than you need to.

Ask people to name one place that represents their state, and the answers get specific fast.

This summer we ran a survey for a real estate client, covering every U.S. state and Canadian province, and the results gave us what a digital PR campaign needs: local stories.

New Jersey chose Cape May with Victorian homes, porches, and that unmistakable coastal feel. Connecticut couldn't quite agree, with East Rock tying another New Haven neighborhood. Out west, the story wasn't really about architecture at all, as Nevada and Wyoming leaned into mountain views, history, and old mining towns.

The results so far:

→ 33 media placements
→ Average DR of 69.4 across all the placements

Including:

→ NorthJersey.com — DR 82
→ CT Insider — DR 80
→ lohud.com — DR 78
→ Kentucky.com — DR 78
→ WTNH — DR 77

This is why localization works so well in digital PR. One research piece can create dozens of different media angles once you stop asking "How do we pitch this nationally?" and start asking "Why would a journalist care?"

Nothing beats hearing this from a client.

Great feedback we received from a career services client. Recently, we helped them land links from The Mercury News (DR 87), the New York Post (DR 91), and link+TV coverage from ABC7 (DR 83).

This summer's been busy at Bright Valley Marketing, so we're only now getting the chance to share some successful campaigns.

Here's one.

In July, we ran a survey for a client to ask: If you could redesign your state's flag, what symbol would you put on it?

The answers were brilliant.

California chose avocado toast. Nevada chose a $22 cocktail receipt. And when KPLC 7 News shared Louisiana's results on Facebook, it made people talk. The post got over 150 comments.

The campaign results:

→ 27 media placements
→ 24 backlinks
→ 69.2 average DR

Including:

→ The Tennessean - DR 83
→ Detroit Free Press - DR 85
→ Fort Worth Star-Telegram - DR 80
→ Savannah Morning News - DR 76
→ Montgomery Advertiser - DR 75
→ Tuscaloosa News - DR 73,

and more.

Why did it work? Instead of one national story pitched to hundreds of journalists, we broke the data down state by state, giving local reporters something to write about.

AI search isn’t something small businesses can ignore anymore, and this screenshot is a perfect example.

Our client recently told us they found Bright Valley Marketing through Perplexity.

More and more people use tools like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants to discover businesses, compare options, and decide who to contact.

The takeaway? Your business needs to be visible where your customers are searching.

Because your next customer might not find you on Google, but they might ask AI.

If you run a law firm, you know how expensive it is to compete on Google Ads. Legal keywords are some of the most expensive, and every firm is bidding on the same terms.

Our new guide looks at a different way to compete: digital PR.

Instead of paying more for clicks, you earn coverage in news outlets that builds trust with potential clients, Google & LLMs, and results in increased visibility across the web.

We cover how to build campaigns around your practice area, when to launch them, and how to measure results.

Last week, our client received a contact form submission: "We're overrun with ground squirrels. Can you help?"

The referral source: ChatGPT.

This lead asked AI to find a pest control company in the Bay Area, and it pointed them to our client.

We didn't pay for that placement. We built service pages that answer the exact pest control problems homeowners have, so AI models have something relevant and accurate to cite.

This is one of a few referrals the client got from AI assistants over the last two weeks.

Background check content isn’t the easiest niche to grow on YouTube. The audience is narrow, and the topic isn’t naturally engaging.

But the last 28 days told a different story for one of our clients:

• Views: 2,118 (+128% vs. previous 28 days)
• Watch time: 39.6 hours (+69%)
• Impressions: 11,000 (+30%)

We’re not doing this for views alone.

We use YouTube to reach people actively looking for background check services, build trust, and create content that shows up on the 1st page of Google results, including AI Overviews.

One survey. 50 angles. 33 media placements. 22 from DR 70+ sites.

Last month, we surveyed 3,000+ people to figure out the beaches with the most well-mannered visitors, and turned that into 33 media placements.

We ranked beaches based on:

→ Cleanliness
→ Noise levels
→ Personal space
→ Consideration for others

From there, we broke the data into 50 state-level angles and handed journalists stories they could easily localize for their audience.

This campaign landed links in:

→ Mass Live, MA - DR 81
→ Wicked Local, MA - DR 80
→ The Providence Journal, RI - DR 80
→ Asbury Park Press, NJ - DR 79

and many more

It also picked up some social engagement (one Facebook post received 300+ reactions, 30+ comments).

Takeaway:

You don’t need 50 campaigns to get national coverage, but you need one strong idea with local angles.
