Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Public Relations Firm FAQs
What types of PR campaigns do they typically run?
Here are the most common PR campaigns:
Growth campaigns
- Launch PR: Coordinated outreach around a product, service, or company launch to generate awareness and credibility quickly.
- Thought leadership: Ongoing placement of expert commentary, bylines, and POV development to position executives or brands as authorities.
Corporate and stakeholder campaigns
- Corporate communications: Structured messaging around company news, such as milestones, financial updates, or leadership changes.
- Fundraising and investor PR: Media and narrative support around funding rounds, IPOs, or investor milestones.
- Employer branding PR: Storytelling that highlights culture, leadership, and workplace values through earned media.
- Awards programs: Strategic identification and submission to industry awards to secure third-party validation.
Risk and resilience campaigns
- Crisis response: Rapid communications to manage negative events, misinformation, or reputational threats.
- Reputation repair: Sustained PR efforts to rebuild credibility after a crisis, controversy, or prolonged negative coverage.
How do top PR firms in the USA secure media coverage and build long-term momentum?
American PR firms secure media coverage and sustain momentum through a structured, repeatable process that combines strategy, execution, and relationship management.
- Narrative development: Defining a clear, newsworthy story that aligns brand goals with what journalists write about, ensuring relevance rather than promotional messaging.
- Proof-point assembly: Gathering customer outcomes, data, executive credibility, and third-party validation to support claims.
- Media mapping: Identifying journalists and media outlets based on beat, audience fit, and past coverage.
- Angle creation: Adapting the core narrative into timely, outlet-specific angles tied to trends, news hooks, or audience pain points.
- Pitching cadence: Sending pitches in controlled waves to avoid inbox fatigue while maintaining steady visibility across priority publications.
- Follow-ups and refinement: Using thoughtful follow-ups to clarify relevance or provide a new context rather than repeat the same message.
- Reactive opportunities: Monitoring breaking news and journalist requests to insert expert commentary quickly, compounding coverage between major campaigns.
- Relationship building and iteration: Earning trust through reliability and relevance—relationships can open doors, but newsworthiness still drives results.
How much does it cost to hire a PR agency in the United States?
PR agency costs in the United States vary widely based on the scope of work, pitch volume, media tier, industry complexity, crisis sensitivity, and specific deliverables. However, price ranges typically fall within the following:
| Engagement type | Typical cost range | Notes |
| Monthly retainer (ongoing support) | $5,000-$20,000+ per month | Common range for standard campaigns; larger national/global programs can exceed this. |
| Hourly rate | $100-$300 per hour (avg. $270 per hour) | Used for consulting, strategy, or special projects. |
| Project-based fees | $5,000-$50,000+ | One-off campaigns, like product launches or funding announcements. |
| Pre-set packages/tiered retainers | $4,000-$8,000+ per month | Fixed deliverables at defined tiers. |
What’s the difference between a B2B public relations agency and a B2C PR firm?
B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) PR firms differ based on audience, buying cycle, and media focus.
B2B PR agency
B2B PR targets niche decision makers and long buying cycles, with coverage focused on industry and trade publications. Messaging relies on proof points like ROI, case studies, and expertise, with indirect conversion goals tied to pipeline influence and a steady, lower volume cadence.
B2C PR firm
Consumer PR targets broad audiences and shorter buying cycles, emphasizing mainstream media, lifestyle outlets, and creators. Storytelling is emotion-led and trend-driven, with clearer near-term conversion expectations such as traffic or sales and a faster, campaign-based cadence.
When should I hire a PR company instead of handling PR in-house?
Brands should decide between an agency and in-house PR based on scale, speed, and risk tolerance.
Hire a PR company if:
- You need rapid scale or intensive campaign support that exceeds internal bandwidth.
- You want immediate access to established media relationships across top-tier and niche outlets.
- You are planning a high-stakes launch, funding round, rebrand, or market expansion.
- You need crisis readiness or a 24/7 response capability that in-house teams cannot sustain.
- You operate in a complex or regulated industry that requires specialized PR expertise.
- You want an external perspective to sharpen positioning and messaging.
Keep it in-house if:
- PR needs are steady, predictable, and limited in scope.
- Your team already has strong media relationships in your core category.
- Campaign intensity is low and tied mainly to internal updates or announcements.
- Budget constraints favor salaried roles over agency retainers.
- You prioritize deep institutional knowledge over broad external reach.
