Fractl

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the SVP of marketing and communications at BuzzHealth. We provide integrated healthcare solutions for pharmacies, health plans, PBMs, and EHRs that embed prescription savings to promote price transparency, lower medication costs, and expand access to affordable prescriptions, helping improve patient outcomes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We needed help with data journalism campaigns for authority building and PR placements.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl has been helping us with quarterly campaigns using proprietary insights that we leverage for media talking points and placements for our leadership team and SMEs. The content also helps inform our LinkedIn strategy and content. The team has delivered blog articles with research insights and infographics.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with multiple teammates from Fractl.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

Someone referred Fractl to us. We chose them over other options because of their quality of work and efficiency.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Fractl has delivered high-quality assets and some PR placements in eMarketer. We’ve gotten at least one placement per campaign, and we’ll complete six campaigns. The infographics have created a polished asset that we can leverage for authority building.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

Fractl delivers on time. The team is professional and polished, and their work requires very little editing and revisions. We communicate via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Fractl has been able to understand our pivot from BuzzRx to BuzzHealth, which is a much more complicated space in health IT. Going from consumer-facing to B2B hasn’t made us skip a beat.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’ve proposed multiple topics for consideration, and the abstract has been accurately followed through to the end of the study.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a Brand Manager at MedExpress CA, a Telehealth company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

One of our core goals for the year was to improve our SEO and drive brand awareness through top-tier media publications and expert commentary. We wanted to partner with Fractl, a digital PR agency, to drive targeted traffic to our Canadian website, MedExpress CA which we launched at the end of last year.

We initially reached out to Joe, the Co-founder and Head of Digital PR, because of the great success they were seeing with our sister business in the US.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

 Fractl manages data journalism campaigns and secures reactive press commentary. Starting from ground zero in Canada, we needed to build brand-new press relationships and establish ourselves as clinical experts available for expert commentary.

Fractl pitch ideas designed to generate coverage with strong press hooks, all while respecting our high clinical authority and remaining compliant within a heavily regulated market. They pitch ideas to us, and we collaborate on feedback. Our most successful campaigns so far for weight loss and sexual health have been the Weight Loss Index and Perceptions of Quitting Porn.

Our core contacts include Joe (Content Marketing Director), Nicole (Head of Digital PR and AI), Kip (Associate Director of Digital PR), and Adi. We also interact regularly via Slack with their data journalism team, who present new campaign concepts and reactive ideas. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our first retainer for MedExpress CA ran from February 2026 to July 2026. Based on those results, we have just started our next retainer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with your partner evolve?
Our US brand, ZipHealth, gave them glowing reviews. Fractl deeply understands the regulatory restrictions of the healthcare market, ensuring complete compliance. We were also drawn to their creativity and data-driven approach to securing press coverage.

Within a 6-month scope of work, Fractl secured over 500 links and media coverage pieces across our brand. They’ve arranged high-profile interview opportunities for our medical experts to showcase their knowledge. They are currently tracking at +341% against our YTD target. As a new entrant in the Canadian market, our initial expectations were conservative, but Fractl completely blew us away.

In what ways can they improve?

They consistently meet all deadlines, operate with high efficiency, and make collaboration effortless. We review pitch ideas together in a shared Google Doc and track progress in Google Sheets, while doing day-to-day communication over Slack, where they are incredibly responsive and thorough. They are genuinely open to pivoting strategies when our broader business objectives shift.
The entire team is amazing - no improvements needed!
What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?: Our success comes down to clear communication, mutual trust, and agility. We were upfront about our goals from day one and trusted Fractl as the digital PR experts. When you listen to their guidance and maintain open feedback loops, they always deliver. Their ability to gather compelling national survey data that fuels our stories with exclusive insights is amazing. Beyond PR, these data pulls have given our own business invaluable market insights. We’re excited to keep scaling our SEO and digital PR efforts with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior brand manager at HeliosX, a healthtech company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

One of our core projects for the year was improving our SEO. We wanted to work with Fractl, a digital PR agency, to drive traffic to our website, ZipHealth, based in America, and create brand awareness.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

As part of our scope of work with Fractl, they’ve managed some data journalism campaigns and conducted reactive press quotes with the press they’ve been pitching for. At the start of our ideation, they asked many kickoff questions in which we shared our business objectives and what we hoped to achieve from the partnership.

Then, the Fractl team did a comprehensive link gap analysis to understand what links were missing from a digital PR perspective to drive traffic to our site. They’ve also discussed where we could optimize press coverage to drive that traffic to our site.

Essentially, they’ve come back with ideas to close the link gap and insights into topics that would be newsworthy and generate press for us. They’ve pitched these ideas to us, and we’ve given feedback on them. 

One of the most successful campaigns we’ve worked on with them has been the Soundtrack of Intimacy.

What is the team composition?

We initiated the conversation with Kelsey, the co-founder and head of digital PR. We’ve had three core team members we speak to most regularly: Joe, their content marketing director; Nicole, the head of digital PR and AI; and Kip, the associate director of digital PR. Additionally, there have been five other teams with whom we’ve been in regular contact on our Slack channel, including the data journalism team, which has been pitching campaigns and presenting reactive ideas to us regularly.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

An employee on a different team who previously worked with them at my company referred them to us. We chose them because we liked their approach to reviewing the link gap analysis and their data-driven approach to securing press coverage. Additionally, they’ve been very creative and shared our brand values.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $100,000–$250,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our first retainer for ZipHealth started in May 2024 and ended in October 2024. Then, we onboarded them for a second six-month period, from November 2024 to April 2025. We have Levity’s retainer with them from September 2024 to February 2025, another brand within our company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Fractl has driven over 500 links and coverage across our brands, which has been great. As a result, we’ve achieved triple-digit growth, a 251% year-on-year in SEO traffic to our sites. One campaign has highlighted and explored the connection between music and sex.
The team's in-depth ideas about closing the link gap have been specific to our brand objectives and aligned with the issues we’ve wanted to discuss. They’ve quickly amended the ideas where we’ve wanted to see some changes, and then we’ve progressed with some ideas we’ve been happy with.

We’ve been so happy with the results of the first retainer that we’ve onboarded them for a second six-month period and for another weight loss brand within our company, Levity.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve consistently met all deadlines. They’ve been highly organized and efficient, and collaboration with them has been very easy. We’ve shared a Google document where we review their pitches collaboratively and a tracker on Google Sheets.

They’ve all been a pleasure to deal with and considerate of our needs and feedback. The work process has been streamlined, and we’ve mostly spoken on Slack. They’ve been highly responsive anytime we’ve had any questions. Their responses have been very thorough and positive, so it’s been a pleasure to work with them.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

They have been all equally great to work with, so I'm happy to list them all. Kelsey, Joe, Nicole, Kip, Adi, Merritt, Ricardo, and two more teammates have been great.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve been very innovative in their approach. We’re pleased with the success and trust them as an invaluable partner. Their work has exceeded our expectations. We’re excited to continue achieving success and growing our SEO and digital PR efforts with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, everything has been great.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The success has been due to the reactivity and transparency of the objectives across both partners. We’ve been clear about what we wanted to achieve and very open in our communication. It takes two to ensure a successful partnership, and it’s been collaborative. Just be laser-sharp on your goal; Fractl is the best partner to make that happen.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the senior director of content marketing at a digital media company. We publish data journalism and have Fractl pitch our pages to reporters and journalists. We publish methodologies on insurance products and personal finance. We try to help connect our users to the financial products they need.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We downsized our marketing team about a year ago to focus on other efforts across the business. I still wanted to keep the marketing alive, particularly the digital PR, but I couldn’t do it all by myself.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We brainstorm together what the next topic will be for our data journalism. We lock in a few topics, and my team does the research and gathers the data. We publish the studies and create the visual assets, then we send them over to Fractl. The team reaches out to their network to try to get placements for us for that content.

Currently, we do all the content creation, and they do the marketing and ideation with us. Fractl is pitching two of our studies per month. We spend some time talking together about what stories are hot topics or seasonal.

For example, we published a study on burglary rates in homes across America. The typical thing you’ll hear is that burglary rates go up in the summer. However, our study found that it wasn’t necessarily the case. It was very much a regional matter. In cold climates, burglary rates go up in the summer. In places like California and Texas, which are warm most of the year, it’s actually the opposite. Burglaries go up in the winter. That was a fun one to work with them on. We found a seasonal topic that we had a good chance of getting picked up. The study yielded some counterintuitive findings.

When we have counterintuitive findings, Fractl can pitch that with more confidence to journalists because it’s more interesting and newsworthy. Moreover, they’re responding to queries from journalists and putting us in touch with them so we can get on TV, radio, or podcasts. We’re trying to land some of those placements as well.

What is the team composition?

I work with Joe, Fractl's director, and Kip, who handles all digital PR. Occasionally, someone else pops into the Slack thread, but those are the two I work with closely.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

We’ve hired former employees from Fractl in the past. I worked with them pretty closely, so I already had a good idea that Fractl had great talent. That was in the back of my mind when I went out to find someone to help fill this gap for us.

I got a bunch of quotes from several providers similar to Fractl. Ultimately, I liked what they had to say and their price point. We talked with Joe, and I really liked what he had to say. I liked that he was willing to be flexible and work within our budget. It ended up being a good match.

How much have you invested with them?

We pay $4,000 per month. We’ve spent $12,000 so far, and I’m hoping to increase it.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2026, and the engagement is ongoing. We're looking into our budget so we can have more campaigns with the team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They’ve landed a ton of coverage for us. We got a New York Post article where they linked to us and included 3–4 quotes from us. The New York Post is a top-tier publisher. We’ve landed some other pretty decent ones, like Zero Hedge and more regional outlets.

We’ve been syndicated across Town Square Media, which syndicates across 500 different domains. They’ve brought in a lot of volume through the syndication relationships. They’ve also landed us some prestigious placements with publishers.

When we get featured in these top-tier outlets, it spreads like wildfire. Sometimes it takes time. For the topics the New York Post published, our study can be rediscovered down the line. Some smaller publishers or individuals researching for themselves or their websites will cite that New York Post article. They’ll see that it’s linking to our study and go straight to our study and cite it.

It’s a nice thing that can continue organic growth for years to come. We keep building on it. From a brand recognition standpoint, it’s great. We can also take the New York Post article and publish it on our social media platforms and send it out to our network.

Moreover, they’ve landed us interviews on media outlets, whether it’s a podcast or TV. The subset there is what outlet it is. Does it have national reach? If it’s a podcast, how many subscribers does it have? Those are the things we’re looking at right now.

Although we didn't know what to expect, Fractl has met, if not exceeded, our expectations. That is the reason we want to increase our spend with them.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

They are super responsive, meet deadlines, and stay on budget. We use Slack to communicate.

We get on a call every once in a while. We meet regularly and have a Slack thread going, so I can chat with them daily if needed. We also have a recap call once a month where they give us some numbers and tell us how things went. We kick around some ideas for future stories. We also have a tracker in Google Sheets where we log all the mentions.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their efficacy is impressive. Fractl's relationships with journalists and other media outlets make it really easy to land these placements. That’s the secret to all of this. It’s a lot easier to go through them than build those relationships myself.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not really, which feels silly.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Since Fractl is just marketing our work, come in with a perspective on what your editorial standards are. You want to create really high-quality content. If the content isn’t good, it doesn’t matter how many contacts or relationships they have. The team won’t be able to place the stories.

Have internal excellent standards for your content. Be open to going back and forth on angles with the team. If Fractl says an angle will perform better than the one you’re suggesting, hear that feedback. Don’t necessarily default to what they’re saying, but be open to changing your approach.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of web and organic strategy at American College of Education, an online college that offers affordable, accredited online degree programs for working professionals in education, healthcare, nursing, business, and leadership, aiming to advance careers and make a positive community impact.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We needed help growing our digital authority and the number of referring domains to our website through custom content and digital PR.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl has helped us create custom blog content based on topic ideation and research. Once the content is placed on our website, they help promote links to the new content to grow our digital authority.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Fractl.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

We met Fractl through a conference presentation. We chose them because we loved their approach to digital PR and how they incorporated AI into their process.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Fractl has shared a list of links they’ve garnered as a result of their digital promotion work. We’re early in our engagement, but we’re averaging 19 links per campaign and have domain authorities as high as 94.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

Fractl’s delivery and communication have been excellent. They’ve been on time and thoughtful in their approach to ensure the work is a great fit for us. We communicate via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Fractl’s consideration of AI publishing relationships is unique. Additionally, their agent-based product offerings have allowed our unique digital PR needs to be addressed more directly. For example, their Reddit-based agent is helping us ideate opportunities within the platform for posting and conversation starting.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve. They’ve been excellent.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the senior SEO manager at a translation management system for other software and apps. I manage the SEO and AI search strategy at this company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We wanted to improve our online presence and online mentions, including the type of mentions and the variety of publications that mention our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl provides digital PR services. We’ve started the process by providing them with a few guidelines on what would be a good asset for us in terms of a publisher that will feed our company by placing a mention. We’ve also provided them with the type of campaigns we’ve run in the past and what we’re expecting from them in terms of ideation for the digital PR campaigns they’re running for us. We've provided Fractl with the background, the guidelines, and the expectations for our project.
Fractl secures online mentions for us through organic promotions. The team has created several strategies for interviews, quotes, campaigns, and brand mentions.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact is Joe, but we’ve also worked with Kip for the campaigns, Nicole for the quotes and mentions, and about 5–10 teammates from Fractl in total.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

We found them through Google. We chose them because of their good online reviews and proven case studies. We also chose them because they were ultra-professional when we met them. Fractl understood and listened to our needs, and we could see from the very first call that they knew what they were talking about regarding PR and SEO.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. We've just renewed our contract with Fractl.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Fractl has secured 60–70 online mentions through organic promotions. Fractl has improved our reputation by allowing our brand to be featured in publications that we wouldn’t have been able to target without their help. The quality of the campaigns they’ve produced for us is something that we didn’t have the resources or knowledge to do.

Moreover, the team has contacts with journalists in the right publications to put us out there. By putting our brand in certain publications, Fractl is improving our brand image and position.

Overall, they’ve exceeded our expectations.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

Fractl consistently stays on budget and meets deadlines. Sometimes, things are a bit delayed, but that’s on both sides because we sometimes take extra time for feedback or ask for extra things. Fractl is constantly clear in communicating what they can do with our budget. If there’s something else they can do for us, they always tell us.

We mainly communicate through emails and Google Meet calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with Fractl's exceeded results, professionalism in communication, and active listening to us as clients. Their adaptability when receiving feedback makes them a great asset. It’s easy to work with them because they adapt to our needs and help us out. Fractl also takes care of informing themselves about who we are, what we need, and what our expectations are.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Fractl could improve the initial ideas they propose to us as a client. Sometimes, we don’t go with the first round of proposals for the campaigns, and there’s always feedback needed. Improving the outcome of the first proposal will save some time. However, Fractl is good at adapting to our feedback. The team comes with one proposal, we give them feedback, and the second proposal is already good.

It isn't a big problem for us, and we're happy to provide Fractl with feedback, but it could've saved us a week on the campaign.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t be afraid to ask for adaptability because Fractl will accomplish that. Also, ensure you answer all the questions and the questionnaire Fractl sends you at the beginning because that’ll be key for them to understand your company. The team asks the right questions, and it’s on the client to give the right answers.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a department director for an SEO-focused firm. We specialize in reputation management and organic growth strategies for our clients.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We hired Fractl to support our greater organic SEO strategy for a client. We needed help creating content campaigns that could earn high domain authority placements on other publisher sites.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl conducts research on behalf of our client with relevant topic areas. The team creates the campaign landing page and all the content based on the culmination of that research. Then, they leverage their extensive network of publishing partners to get exclusive content published on their sites for brand awareness and link authority that supports our client’s domain.

At the start of the relationship, we shared as much as we could regarding our strategy with the client. We've also shared relevant client information and data that would be helpful for them to use as a jumping-off point. During the discovery phase, Fractl provided some documents based on what we had provided in those initial discussions. They've suggested topic areas that would be valuable and relevant. The team has also suggested a list of potential publishers that would be valuable targets.

Ultimately, we aligned on the campaigns we would create over the course of the contract. Then, Fractl started researching and crafting the actual content. The discovery phase happened at the beginning of our 12-month contract. We've aligned on topics for the year. Since then, we’ve had a steady rotation of research, content creation, review, and work to get those campaigns published throughout the year.

There has been an initial keyword research, but we already had a lot of foundational keyword research that drives our strategy with the client. We've provided that to Fractl and directed them from the start. We've told them the keywords we've been trying to gain momentum for. We've had some back-and-forth discussions, but it's been a combined effort.

We collaborate upfront and review the content they create, but Fractl owns the process. The team does all the research and creates all the content. We give it the thumbs up, and our client gives it the thumbs up. Fractl's content goes directly to the client.

What is the team composition?

We’ve been in contact with a handful of people on the Fractl team. Joe, Fractl's director of content marketing, has been our main point of contact. He’s led the partnership along with me. We’ve also worked with several other staff members connected to or leading the research. They keep us apprised of how the research is going. Once Fractl creates the content, they share it with us for feedback.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

A couple of people at my company had either worked with Fractl or used to work for them. It was more of a recommendation that way. I had heard really positive things about them. Additionally, Fractl's strategy was impressive.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2025. We've actually renewed our contract with them for another year. Our client gets one campaign a month. It’s a well-oiled machine as far as conducting the research, creating the content for review, and working with us to get it approved and published by the client.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen very strong placements of the high domain authority, which is the ultimate goal in this partnership. We’ve leveraged Fractl’s extensive contact list and earned placements we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.

We’ve seen great success from the majority of the campaigns we’ve published over the last year. Some campaigns have been published on very high awareness sites. Others have been published on a site and then syndicated across a news outlet. This has helped us gain 200 more links on multiple new sites and the domain authority from all of those sites. Overall, Fractl has exceeded our expectations.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve been impressed with them as a partner. I say that to anyone I get to talk to about Fractl. They’re highly impressive from a project management standpoint. The team responds rapidly and is consistently willing to collaborate and pivot if needed. They’re always on time.

We operate together using a shared spreadsheet. We can all see the live updates, and that has worked well for us. We primarily communicate via email. Sometimes, we have Zoom calls, but mostly, we use email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Fractl's response rate has been incredible throughout the entire partnership. They’re rapid responders, which is so valuable. Beyond that, the people who work there are incredibly kind and wise. In the first few conversations I had with them, I already felt they would be a very strong partner. From the onset, that went a very long way.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t have any constructive feedback. They’re fantastic.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re an extremely creative group of people. Fractl does what they say they’re going to do, and they do it well. They also have a lot of interesting ideas you might not think of. Don’t be afraid to give them a little creative or strategic control if you’re looking to expand what you brought to the table for them. Fractl excels at expanding on ideas and collaborating further.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the digital marketing manager of a surety bond and insurance agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We needed help with SEO and content marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl has been helping us with SEO, content marketing and writing, and link building. Initially, we filled out an intake form with details about our business, the products we offer, and the personas we’re targeting. From there, the team started working on our link-building campaign.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with around eight members of Fractl's team for two different campaigns, including project managers, content leads, promotion leads, and SEO leads.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

I was familiar with Fractl because they used to contribute to an SEO blog. I didn't partner with them initially because they had a higher price tag than other link-building agencies. However, I decided it was time to give their services a try.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $250,000 and $500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Fractl has built hundreds of high-quality and authoritative links, many of them with a domain authority above 80, which are difficult to obtain. These links have helped us stay competitive in search engines and rank for keywords that drive revenue for our business. Overall, the team has met our expectations.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

Fractl meets deadlines and stays on budget. The team primarily relies on Google Sheets, email, and meetings as needed to communicate and collaborate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We're impressed with Fractl's ability to create content that generates links from authoritative websites.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything Fractl can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open to Fractl's ideas because, depending on your experience, you might be in unfamiliar territory. Test them out and see if their insight proves accurate. If not, Fractl is more than open to adjusting on the fly in case things aren't performing as expected.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the communications manager at an insurance agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We hired Fractl to do large-scale digital PR and data journalism campaigns to increase our website’s domain authority.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl worked on data journalism campaigns, including long data-based articles. The team also produced infographics that displayed the results of the data surveys. Moreover, Fractl gave us opportunities to submit expert quotes to journalists who were seeking them out. The team managed and followed up on the requests, got our quotes, and submitted them to the journalists.

What is the team composition?

We worked with around five teammates from Fractl, including those from content marketing, data journalism, and digital PR.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

We knew Fractl from referrals and had worked with them before at a different business. We knew of their track record of success in digital PR. When attempting to choose an agency, we met with Fractl and three other agencies. Each agency submitted a proposal, and we reviewed those proposals and had meetings with each agency. After that, we decided to work with Fractl.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Fractl from February–August 2025. We will focus on other marketing channels for the rest of the year, but we'll probably work with them again in the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our domain rating went from about 15 to over 30. The most successful campaign we worked on with Fractl over the past several months was a data journalism campaign about the vandalism rates on Teslas in connection to the current political climate. The team also produced high-quality infographics.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

Fractl met deadlines and stayed on budget. We exclusively used Google Sheets to track our progress, and Fractl registered the campaigns we were working on, all of the links we had as a result of those campaigns, and all the expert quote requests that were in play. For our communication, we used Slack and had occasional meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We needed help with content marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl provided SEO and content marketing services. The team conducted discovery sessions with our end client to determine what they wanted to be ranked for and who they were trying to target. After that, Fractl created an SEO strategy that targeted a list of keywords and a timeline for delivering the content pieces associated with those keywords.

Fractl created the copy and any associated graphics with those articles or journalism pieces. Then, our team took it from there.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 5 to 6 people from Fractl, including their partnership group, the director of content marketing, and an SEO specialist.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

We were in the same service area, so we knew about Fractl. We engaged with them because they were experts in content marketing, and we didn't do much of that.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $500,000 and $600,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April 2022 to March 2024.

Fractl's biggest strength was their backlink efforts, especially the data journalism campaigns.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they should continue to see good results.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of SEO and content at a math game company. We gamify the math learning process so kids can learn math through playing a fun game. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fractl?

We had a lot of bad backlinks and very few strong ones. We hired Fractl to pursue better quality backlinks on major media websites.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fractl devised a plan for our engagement. They conducted surveys on our behalf, and we approved the topics and survey results. Then, they pitched stories about those surveys to media outlets all over the United States. They were responsible for images and text.

Usually, there was a post on our site that had their images and data. They did a lot of pitching to media outlets, and those outlets would write a separate story that Fractl was not actually involved in the writing of. They would just pitch the idea or provide a part of the idea, essentially to the outlet.

They came up with the ideas of which topics to pursue and created the content themselves. We also briefly worked with them on some other content they created for a website that was not pitched to the media.

What is the team composition?

Our primary points of contact were their content marketing and digital PR directors.

How did you come to work with Fractl?

I was brought on late in the process, so the engagement was already ongoing when I joined.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $141,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement lasted from May 2024–May 2025. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Fractl got us over 1,400–1,500 media mentions across the internet. They also got us approximately 40 DA90 or higher backlinks, approximately another 25 DA80 or higher, and another 50 DA70 or higher. In general, people were interested in the surveys. Some people were really enthusiastic about some of the surveys they did. We got a lot of positive news coverage.

How did Fractl perform from a project management standpoint?

They met deadlines and stayed on budget. We communicated via email and had a meeting every two weeks.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They overdelivered. They promised 300 mentions and backlinks, and they gave us 1,500. That was much more than we were looking for.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could be a little closer to our market niche.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Fractl is a great partner for SEO, PR, and quality backlinks for your website. They know their stuff. You should work with them if you’re looking for original survey research. That has much more cachet with reporters than just regular blog posts. That’s what they’re really good at, and that’s why I recommend them.
