Most reports count coverage. The best ones explain why it mattered.

PR Coverage is more than just numbers. Coverage Analysis helps you understand how visible your brand was, how it was portrayed, what kind of coverage you earned and what PR activity led to it.

A website article with labels showing primary focus, headline mention, brand visual and key message leading to a Brand Prominence score of 85/100
Brand Prominence

Show how prominently your brand appeared

A passing mention doesn't tell the same story as a feature with your brand in the headline, imagery and key messages. Select the signals that appear in the coverage and CoverageBook turns them into a Brand Prominence score out of 100.

Move beyond reach – show brand visibility separately from the size of the audience.

Standardise your scoring – give the whole team a consistent way to judge visibility.

See the bigger picture – a report level summary score makes comparisons easy.

“This is exactly the kind of simple scoring framework PR teams actually need. Clients get lost when prominence gets bundled into a single opaque quality score. Separating it out makes it far easier to report against consistently”

Jon Macisaac, PR and Media Relations Specialist
