What we do

How we put it to work

Capture the spotlight

Give your published article, industry feature or media appearance a dedicated landing page on your website.

  • Professional design showcasing the article and your branding.
  • Prominent “As Featured In [Publication]” co-branding for immediate credibility.
  • SEO optimization for visibility and organic reach.

Convert attention into leads

Your landing page is a conversion engine, not simply a showcase. Strong next steps move readers from interest to engagement.

  • Data-capture forms for lead collection.
  • Calls to action to request more information.
  • Integrated calendar scheduling to book meetings directly.

Amplify through digital marketing

Maximize reach and results through coordinated promotion.

  • Email campaigns: “Did you see our feature in [Publication]?” reaches 90,000+ dealership decision-makers and your customer database, driving landing-page traffic.
  • Social media campaigns: share-worthy posts generate buzz and position your brand as an industry leader.
  • Retargeting and follow-ups: bring visitors who did not convert on their first visit back into the funnel.

Why earned media works

Make coverage a lasting source of authority, visibility and qualified opportunities.

  • Credibility through co-branding: trusted publications strengthen authority and prospect trust.
  • Traffic and SEO value: links back to your site build organic traffic and long-term visibility.
  • Proven conversion strategy: the original service benchmark is an average 6–12% conversion rate for landing pages with relevant offers and clear CTAs, outperforming traditional ads; results vary.
  • Leverage what you already have: turn earned exposure into qualified leads and real growth.

“Cactus Sky generated several leads for us from our last campaign that we were able to close 4 sales already. They helped to get the word out via email about our exciting success with social media in generating “friends” though the use of contests to drive high numbers of traffic to the clients’ social page.”
