You receive the final research report, raw data where applicable, creative assets (infographics, charts), a placement log with URLs and screenshots, and an outreach activity report. All deliverables are provided in shareable formats so your team or PR partners can reuse them immediately.

How do you report results and measure the ROI of original research link building?

Reporting includes placement counts, referring domains, domain authority of each link, referral traffic, and keyword movement tied to the campaign timeframe. We also provide a narrative ROI summary that ties links and coverage to lead, traffic, or ranking improvements based on your KPIs.
