What PR does that ads cannot
Ads are you saying you are good. Press is someone else saying it, which people trust more. A single solid story keeps working for years as a link, a quote and a line on your website.

PR and press for a general contractor in White Lake
Your morning coffee in White Lake comes with the local news, and there it is: a story about your exact field, quoting a competitor as the expert. You have more history, more community work and better answers, but nobody knew to call you.
PR makes sure the right people know to call. We find the stories inside your business, your people and your community work, write them the way editors want them and pitch them to the reporters, podcasts and newsletters across Metro Detroit that cover your world.
The next time a reporter needs a source, your name is in their contacts. Coverage shows up on your site and social, searches for your name turn up more than your own pages, and new customers arrive already trusting you.

PR and press explained for general contractors in White Lake
How to get featured in the local news in White Lake
Reporters need stories that matter to their readers, not ads dressed up as news. Openings, milestones, community work, local hiring and timely expert advice all qualify when told well. The pitch should be short, specific and sent to the reporter who actually covers it.
Press releases and when they help
A press release is useful for real news like a new location, a merger, a big community project or a hire worth noting. Blasting releases about nothing trains editors to ignore you. We write releases sparingly and pair them with direct pitches.
What drives the cost of PR
Cost depends on how much writing, research and pitching happens each month, how many outlets we target and whether there is a big announcement to support. Most local businesses do best with a steady monthly effort. We quote a fixed monthly or project fee after a short call.
PR and your search results
Mentions and links from news sites are strong trust signals for search engines. They also fill the first page of results for your name with sources other than you. That helps both rankings and the gut check people do before calling.
