Three outcomes small businesses see consistently, with numbers
20 to 50% Website Conversion Uplift
Adding "As Featured On Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur" to your homepage, pricing page, and contact page creates an immediate trust signal that reduces buyer hesitation. Small businesses consistently report 20 to 50% improvements in website conversion rates within 30 days of adding Tier-1 publication logos. The same traffic converts at a higher rate, with no increase in ad spend required.
Page 1 Google Rankings via DA 80 to 95+ Backlinks
Every editorial placement includes a permanent, Google-indexed backlink from a publication with domain authority scores of DA 80 to 95+. These are among the highest-value backlinks available to any business. Google indexes these links and they continue improving keyword rankings for months and years after publication, long after the placement fee has been recovered.
Doubled Lead Volume, Real Client Result
A BruntWork executive reported that their lead volume doubled after appearing on Apple News and MarketWatch. "Makes a big difference when your start-up can boast that you've appeared on Apple News and MarketWatch. It has helped new customers trust us in a very competitive market." This outcome compounds over time as more placements accumulate.
35 to 45% Shorter Sales Cycles for B2B Small Businesses
B2B small businesses report 35 to 45% shorter sales cycles after Forbes or Business Insider features. Enterprise and corporate prospects verify press coverage before the first call, arriving pre-qualified rather than sceptical. The credibility question is answered before it's asked, removing the most common friction point in the sales process.

Why small businesses get better value from guaranteed PR than from traditional agencies
Traditional PR agencies charge small businesses $5,000 to $15,000 per month for best-efforts campaigns with no guaranteed outcomes and 3 to 6 month timelines before any coverage appears. Baden Bower's model is structurally different: you only commit to publications that have been confirmed as deliverable before you pay.

|---|---|---|
| Publications confirmed upfront | ✓ Named in contract before payment | ✗ Pitched speculatively, no guarantee |
| Time to first placement | 7 to 14 days from draft approval | 3 to 6 months typical, often longer |
| Money-back guarantee | ✓ Full refund if placement not delivered | ✗ Retainer kept regardless of results |
| Starting cost for small businesses | From $1,500/month | $5,000 to $15,000/month typical |
| Article type | Journalist-authored editorial, no sponsored label | Varies. Often press releases or sponsored posts |
| SEO value | DA 80 to 95+ backlinks, permanent Google value | Varies. Often low-authority or no-follow |
| Suitability for small businesses | ✓ All editions, from $1,500/month annual | Minimum budgets typically exclude small businesses |
