02.03Off-page SEO

Authority you earn, not authority you rent.

Links from relevant, credible sites remain one of the strongest signals of trust — for Google and for the AI engines that weigh corroboration. We acquire them the way that lasts: by giving other sites a reason to link.

The problem

The links you have may be the problem

Bought links from link farms, footer links from a web designer's client list, directory spam from a past agency — many sites carry a backlink profile that is holding them back rather than pushing them up. And the links that would help — from local news, industry associations, suppliers, partners and the resources people actually read — take work nobody has done.

How we run it

Link Building, step by step.

Step 01

Audit

We map your current profile against competitors and identify the links to fix, keep and win.

Step 02

Create the reason

Data, stories, tools and local involvement give editors a reason to link that a cold email never will.

Step 03

Outreach

Targeted, personal pitches to the sites that matter — tracked so nothing is chased twice.

Step 04

Report

Referring domains, anchor mix, lost links and the next month's targets.

Questions

Link Building, answered.

Do you buy links?
No. Paid link schemes violate Google's policies and put the site at risk of manual action. Every link we pursue is earned through content, relationships, sponsorships disclosed as such, or unlinked mentions that already exist.
How many links per month should I expect?
It depends on the market and the assets we have to work with, and we would rather report five relevant links than fifty irrelevant ones. We agree on targets in writing after the audit, based on what your competitors' profiles show is needed.
What is a backlink audit?
A review of every domain linking to your site. Each link that fails the rules is listed with the reason, and every one ends in an action: a removal request, a disavow entry drafted for your decision, or an explicit keep. There is no toxicity score — there is a to-do list.
Do links still matter with AI search?
Yes. Links are corroboration, and generative engines weight sources that other credible sites point to. Digital PR in particular produces the kind of third-party mentions AI engines treat as evidence.
