SEO Review from Jay Erdos
Titan Growth has helped us grow our business by getting us new customers through SEO and Paid Media (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, and LinkedIn). We just had our best month ever up 110% YOY from their efforts. Our old agency was good, but these guys are great.
The TitanBOT technology is impressive. We had a new employee come to us from a competitor and tell us that our competitor had an emergency meeting to figure out how to stop us from taking so much business from them. Titan is great!

Gianni and Loren were AMAZING to work with, from the very start they were attentive to detail, and also responsive. I'm the owner of a catering company & we were contracted to cater for a Gala that Fifteen East Media Group planned and coordinated. The day of the gala was executed perfectly, my serving team and myself had a phenomenal experience collaborating with them. Hire this company, you WILL be happy that you did!!

I had the pleasure of working with Gianni to create an electronic press kit that I could use while promoting my latest bestselling novel “Single Black Female”. Not only did Gianni deliver an exceptional package, but she went above and beyond to assist me with incredible attention to detail on every aspect of the project. This company provides excellent service, quick turnaround, and absolute customer satisfaction. My EPK is stronger and much more user friendly thanks to their expertise. I will work with them again and again.

Data sourced from the agency's DesignRush profile, its website, and other relevant accounts
Media relations and earned coverage: Through strong media relations, PR agencies pitch stories, coordinate interviews, and place clients in relevant publications. Recent industry data shows that 63% of consumers trust news media information over advertising, reinforcing the value of PR-led media coverage.
Strategic communication and PR strategy: Developing a tailored PR strategy aligned with business goals to reach target audiences effectively. According to PR Week’s State of PR report, 75% of communicators say PR must directly align with business results.
Reputation and crisis management: A public relations firm prepares organizations for potential risks and leads response efforts during crises. According to industry research, businesses with a proactive crisis plan recover up to 50% faster than those without one.
Corporate communications and public affairs: Many agencies handle internal and external corporate communications, ensuring consistent messaging across employees, investors, and the public. They may also support public affairs, helping organizations navigate regulatory environments and communicate with government stakeholders.
Content and digital marketing integration: Modern PR services often overlap with digital marketing, content marketing, and influencer marketing. PR firms create press releases, thought leadership articles, and multimedia content that amplify visibility across digital channels. Digital and online media now account for 57.84% of PR spending, showing how communication strategies have shifted toward digital-first engagement.
Brand positioning and thought leadership: PR agencies help companies establish authority through thought leadership, strategic storytelling, and consistent messaging. This is especially important for emerging brands seeking to build brand recognition in competitive markets.
Client advisory and PR counseling: Providing ongoing PR counseling to guide leadership decisions. Agencies advise each client on communication strategy, market positioning, and stakeholder engagement.
How much do PR services typically cost?
The price of PR services varies widely depending on the scope, industry, and level of expertise required. Most entry-level and mid-sized businesses should expect to pay $5,000-$15,000 per month for meaningful results from a professional PR firm.
For ongoing support, agencies typically charge a monthly retainer.
Entry-level or boutique PR firm: $3,000-$5,000 per month
Mid-sized agencies: $8,000-$15,000 per month
Enterprise or global public relations companies: $15,000-$40,000+ per month
A 2025 pricing analysis shows that most retainers fall between $5,000 and $20,000 per month, with larger national or global campaigns exceeding that range.
Agencies charge hourly for advisory, PR counseling, and similar services with rates ranging from $100 to $300 per hour.
How do these firms handle crisis management situations?
They handle crisis management by preparing in advance, responding quickly, and guiding the recovery after the immediate issue is contained.
First, a PR firm assesses risk and builds a response plan before a crisis happens. That matters because 89% of business leaders say resilience is a strategic priority, which shows how seriously companies now treat crisis readiness, according to Deloitte.
When a crisis breaks, firms move fast to control the narrative by drafting a holding statement, advising executives, coordinating legal and leadership input, and managing media questions. The goal is to respond within the first day, because early action often shapes how the issue is perceived.
Top agencies also monitor digital channels in real time. At the start of 2024, there were 5.04 billion social media user accounts worldwide, and the global total grew by 266 million in 2023, which means crises can spread extremely fast across platforms.
After the immediate response, PR teams focus on trust recovery, handling follow-up messaging, stakeholder communication, and reputation rebuilding.
What timelines should I expect before seeing measurable results from PR efforts?
PR results typically take time to build, with most businesses seeing measurable impact within 3 to 6 months, and stronger, sustained results over 6 to 12 months.
Early outputs, such as media placements and initial media relations traction, can appear within the first 4 to 8 weeks. However, meaningful outcomes, such as improved brand recognition, a stronger reputation, and consistent coverage, require ongoing effort and a well-executed strategy.
According to the 2024 Global Comms Report by Cision, 68% of PR professionals say demonstrating long-term impact remains a top priority, reinforcing that PR is a cumulative investment rather than a short-term tactic.
In practice, organizations that commit to at least 6 months of consistent PR activity are far more likely to see measurable business value.
