Earned, guaranteed, or both
Use earned pitching when the story is strong and timing is flexible; use guaranteed placements when you need a specific outlet by a specific date; use both when a launch needs certainty plus the credibility of editorial pick-up. Every placement is also planned for SEO — the page it links to, the anchor and the mention.
