What’s included

What does Glossy PR’s beauty PR service include?

PR, SEO and AI search

How does PR improve a beauty brand's Google rankings and AI search visibility?

PR improves Google rankings and AI search visibility because both run on third-party trust. Coverage in respected titles earns the links, brand mentions and independent descriptions that Google uses to judge authority and that AI assistants use to decide which brands to name.

What PR earnsEffect on Google (SEO)Effect on AI search (GEO)
Editorial links from trusted titlesAuthority that helps service and product pages rankPages AI tools can retrieve and cite
Brand mentions, linked or notMore branded searches and a fuller page one for your nameMore independent sources describing your brand

Editors decide whether to include a link. Glossy PR treats links as a by-product of real coverage, never a promise.

How it works

How does Glossy PR run a beauty PR campaign?

  1. Visibility baseline

    Where the brand appears today in Google and in AI answers for five customer prompts, and which competitors appear instead.

  2. Story mining and target titles

    Launch, founder, ingredient and seasonal angles, mapped to the beauty titles that matter most for your customers.

  3. Pitching and sampling

    Pitching starts in week one. Samples, press kits and imagery go to editors and selected creators.

  4. Coverage reused everywhere

    Every feature goes onto your site, emails, social and ads, so it works twice.

  5. Monthly visibility report

    Coverage secured, links earned, branded search and AI answer changes, plus the next month’s plan.

Who is Glossy PR’s beauty PR service right for?

  • Independent UK beauty brands with a product customers love and a story to tell.
  • Brands spending on paid ads that want press proof to make ads convert and reduce reliance on paid.
  • Founders whose competitors appear in AI answers and best-of lists when they do not.
  • Brands planning a launch, new range or retail move in the next six months.

Not the right fit yet: a one-off press release or a quick test. PR compounds, so Glossy PR works on retainers. The visibility check will still show you what to fix first.

Straight answers

Beauty PR agency London questions, answered.

What does a beauty PR agency do?

A beauty PR agency secures editorial coverage for beauty brands in magazines, newspapers and online titles, through press releases, product sampling, founder stories, gift guides and editor relationships.

How is beauty PR with Glossy PR priced?

Glossy PR works on monthly retainers scoped to your launches, target titles and channels. You receive a tailored proposal after the free strategy call.

How far ahead should a beauty brand plan for gift guides?

Long-lead print titles research Christmas gift guides in summer, so samples and stories need to be with editors months ahead of publication. Online titles work to shorter deadlines.

Does beauty PR help SEO?

Beauty PR helps SEO because coverage and links from respected beauty titles are authority signals for Google. Links are never guaranteed, because editors decide. Read why coverage beats link building.

Can beauty PR get my brand recommended by ChatGPT?

Beauty PR makes AI recommendations more likely because assistants draw on the publications they trust. No agency can guarantee an AI mention. Read how to get recommended by ChatGPT.

Do you only work with London beauty brands?

Glossy PR is based in London and works with beauty brands across the UK.
