No One Knows Who We Are: How B2B Tech Companies Build Visibility Without Shouting

Facing a PR challenge? Propr Comms can protect and strengthen your reputation — calmly and strategically

The quiet problem holding tech businesses back

You can have the smartest product or service in the universe — and still be invisible.

Many B2B tech SMBs come to us with the same frustration: “We’re doing great work, but no one seems to know who we are.”

Sales conversations start cold. Prospects don’t recognise the brand. Google searches return competitors instead.

This isn’t a marketing failure. It’s a visibility gap.

Why visibility matters more than amping up the volume

In B2B tech, buyers don’t want noise. They want reassurance. Visibility isn’t about shouting louder — it’s about:

  • Showing up in the places that matter - community groups and industry events

  • Trusted media Industry conversations

  • Search results when buyers are researching

That’s where strategic public relations comes in.

How PR actually builds awareness (when done properly)

Effective PR for B2B tech companies focuses on:

  1. Clear positioning (who you’re for and why you matter)

  2. Earned media that signals credibility

  3. Consistent narratives across press, content and leadership voices

It’s not about vanity coverage. It’s about being recognisable before the sales call happens.

When to consider PR support

If your team is asking: “Why aren’t people finding us?”; “Why do competitors seem better known?”; “Why does awareness feel slow despite good marketing?” …it may be time to work with a PROPR PR agency that understands B2B tech growth.
