James Dooley and Chris Pantelli explain the differences between reactive PR and expert quote link building. Chris provides clear guidance on inbound expert commentary, outbound PR campaigns, journalist relationships and when each method performs best. The value of both strategies increases because each one reaches different publications. This creates stronger authority because a wider range of referring domains supports ranking growth. Chris outlines how niche, story quality and brand flexibility influence campaign success because journalists only respond to relevant and compelling angles. The discussion clarifies why most brands benefit from using both approaches to maximise links, visibility and long term authority.
