Everything you'd want in a link earning engagement.

01

Link gap + opportunity audit

Where competitors are linked from, where you're not. Prioritized by domain rating, topical relevance, and replicability.

Digital PR campaigns

Original research, data studies, reactive HARO-style outreach to journalists in your category. The kind of link that earns press citations, not directory drops.

03

Citation building + cleanup

NAP consistency audit, geo-local citations, niche directory submissions. The foundation layer for local SEO.

04

Broken-link reclamation

Find broken links pointing at competitors or industry resources, build replacement assets, propose the swap. High close-rate, low cost.

05

Outreach + relationship building

Personalized outreach to bloggers, podcasters, and niche editors. Built around real value exchange, not template spam.

06

Monthly link report

Every link earned, with domain rating, traffic estimate, and anchor profile. No fluff metrics.

FAQ

Common questions about link earning.

How many links will I get per month?

Realistic is 4-15 quality links per month depending on category, budget, and topical depth. We do not promise volume targets, ever. Quality links beat counts.

How much does link building cost?

We quote link earning after a free audit. Pricing depends on whether it is bundled with SEO or standalone, and on digital PR asset scope.

Will paid links rank me faster?

Maybe short-term, definitely a long-term liability. Google's link spam updates have gotten better at detecting paid networks. We do not buy links and would not advise it.

What's a 'good' link?

Topical relevance, real editorial control, traffic potential, and natural anchor. Domain rating is a tiebreaker, not a threshold.

Do you guarantee specific publications?

No, and neither should anyone else. We outreach where your data and angle fit. We track the placements and the rank lift, not promised logos.

How does link earning work with AI Overviews?

Citations in AI Overviews and ChatGPT increasingly correlate with high-authority traditional backlinks. Earned links remain a meaningful trust signal across surfaces.
