HARO + Cold Email Outreach

The Approach

Physicians Thrive came to us with a DR of 33 and just 734 monthly visitors. The challenge: growing authority in a highly regulated, competitive financial services niche. Our multi-channel approach combined HARO journalist outreach (pay-for-performance) with targeted cold email outreach via Mailshake for niche finance and healthcare links.

The CEO Justin Nabity was also strategically positioned as a thought leader, earning quotes in Business Insider and numerous other major publications — strengthening E-E-A-T signals critical in the YMYL finance space.
