You work hard to earn media coverage, and missing a link back to your site doesn't mean the coverage failed you.

A respected outlet covers your company, product, or latest announcement — but then you notice the story doesn’t include a link back to your website. It can feel like the coverage came up short, even when it delivers exactly what a link can't: third-party validation of your brand.

This post explains why credible outlets handle links this way and what that means for setting realistic expectations around earned media.

Earning media coverage is only half the job. What happens after the story runs matters just as much.

The difference comes down to restraint and good judgment.
