Michelle Caron's Review Sourced from Google
Partnering with Back2Basics has helped me strengthen my brand as an independent insurance broker. From strategy to seamless execution, they keep my content fresh, relevant, and aligned with the real risks my clients face. I especially value their quick action against misinformation and their support in promoting local nonprofits I care about. Like me, they live and work in the same community — and that makes all the difference. #SmallBusinessSupport #InsuranceBroker #LocalPartners #BrandTrust

Tim Sekosky's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working withNo Boundaries Marketing for several years and believe good work should be recognized 😀If you are looking for a marketing group that provides excellent SEO I would like to pass on my personal recommendations.I have found Chris “The Architect”to be a good listener that has always been pleasant to work with and works hard to dig deep to understand the needs of your business. As a small business owner, this is important!Along these lines, he has also been very personable and easy to work with. I can say the same for his team as they have been driven to accomplish goals and objectives set by their leader.Having an SEO company in your business tool box is an excellent move! It doesn’t have to be painful. They are pleasant organization, and I hope you will find them as gratifying as I did.Best wishes and best of success!

Breakthrough Real Estate & Property Management's Review Sourced from Google
Well Chris might be a nice guy, the rest of his staff is a revolving door, they take days to get back to you pertaining to updates, if they get back to you at all. When I canceled their services because they didn't get back to me, and they didn't perform the updates that they told me they would do, they then shut off my Google ad without ever telling me. The Google ad that I pay the budget for, and after paying a monthly fee for their services for those ads. The fact they didn't even tell me, cost our business potentially thousands of dollars. As much as his attitude might be great, they burned my company, and we may never come back. Be very careful.

Our trade association web site moved from a very well known national service provider.Our previous provider had gotten very large and been reoriginized several times resulting is us getting lost in the reshuffling and found it very difficult to communicate on just about everything. We decided to shop around and had another non profit recommend Orbit.We gave them a call and to our surprise they answered on the second ring, went thru a couple virtual meetings and the rest is history. Our life has become less stressful as they are a pleasure to work with on project : updates. I would highly recommend them on no matters large or small.

I’ve known Kesar for years and he’s just one of those people that if he says he can do something, he can and will!!! When I started my business I didn’t know where to look for SEO and had Olly Olly as well as Timesquare…. Both companies were overpriced for what they did and promised more than they completed. Not even a month in with Kesar and I’ve never been as close to the one spot in several key words. The man is the truth!!!

DDL Advertising has been a game changer for my business. I could only take my brand so far on my own, but their team truly saw my vision and brought it to life. Everything was incredibly timely, organized, and clear — we were always on the same page. Being new to this and not knowing much, their support and communication made all the difference. The logo designs they created are timeless, and now they’re helping me build a second business from the ground up with logos, labels, website, and packaging. Their team is incredibly diverse in what they can do, with an impressive and expanding book of business. DDL is simply the best — super easy to work with, and they’ve earned a forever customer in me.

PRFire is a dedicated PR agency specializing in press release writing and distribution services. With a focused team and strategic partnerships, PRFire distributes client messages to targeted journalists and media outlets. The agency's contract-free model offers flexibility and transparency to businesses...
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.
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.
