To remain competitive, Feel Unique ensured a regular flow of high quality links to the domain were generated. With coverage on media publishers including Cosmopolitan, The Telegraph and Daily Mail, the new content produced both strong links for SEO and great brand coverage and PR value.
By monitoring brand activity and responding immediately to any opportunities, the domain has been strengthened further by converting non-linked brand mentions into links to the domain. This activity alone resulted in links from authoritative publications such as Hollywood Life, The Express, Daily Star and Glamour Magazine.
