Is link building still important?

Backlinks remain Google's strongest ranking signal. Nothing has replaced them. • Content alone is not enough. Great content on a weak domain loses to good content on a strong one. • Domain authority determines your ranking ceiling • Backlinks signal trust, relevance, and industry recognition • Quality links also feed AI training data and improve GEO visibility Link building has evolved. Spammy tactics are dead. Editorial link building is more important than ever.

What makes your approach different?

We think like PR, not like link builders. • We focus on publications your audience actually reads, not random high-DR sites • We pitch real stories, not templated guest post requests • Relevance and context matter more than DR alone • We build relationships with journalists and editors, not link sellers Every link is editorial. Zero PBNs, zero paid links, zero spam. Most agencies count links. We count placements that matter.

How do you measure success?

We measure what actually impacts rankings and authority. • DR of placements: Target DR 50+, but relevance matters more • Relevance: Is this a publication your buyers read? • Editorial context: Is it a natural mention or forced anchor text? • Traffic impact: Are these sites with real readers? • Authority growth: Is your DR actually climbing? We report monthly on placements, DR growth, and ranking improvements tied to link building.

How long until I see results?

Link building compounds over time. • First placements: 4-6 weeks • Authority growth: 2-3 months • Ranking improvements: 3-6 months • Full momentum: 6-12 months Sites with existing authority see faster results. Sites starting from scratch need patience. We set realistic timelines based on your starting point.

How many links do you build per month?

Quality over quantity. Always. • Early stage: 2-5 high-quality links per month • Growth stage: Scale up as your foundation strengthens • All placements: DR 40+ minimum, most DR 50+ • 100% editorial: Relevant publications, natural context More links is not always better. A pre-seed company does not need 30 links per month. They need the right 3-5 that build real authority. We scale with you as you grow.

The Authority Problem

Why You Can't Rank WithoutLinks

Backlinks remain Google's #1 ranking factor.

Your Competitor Has 500 Referring Domains. You Have 50.

Check Ahrefs. Compare your backlink profile to the competitor ranking above you. They have links from industry publications, tech blogs, and trusted directories. You have guest posts on sites with 12 monthly visitors. That is the gap.

Your DA Is 35. Theirs Is 65. That Gap Is Why You Lose.

Domain authority is a ceiling. Your content might be better. Your product might be better. But Google sees their authority and your lack of it. Great content on a weak domain loses to good content on a strong one.

Your Last Agency Built Links That Could Get You Penalized.

PBN links. Spammy directories. Irrelevant guest posts with exact-match anchors. You have seen the results. Maybe you got a manual action. Maybe you are just waiting for one. You need links that build authority without risk.

TechCrunch Covered Your Competitor. Nobody Has Heard of You.

Industry publications write about your competitors. They get quoted as experts. They appear in roundups. You are invisible to the media that matters. Without earned media, you are building authority the slow, expensive way.

What Makes a ValuableBacklink

Not all links are equal. Focus on quality metrics that drive real authority.

Quality Metric	Target	Authority Impact
Domain Rating (DR)	DR 50+	Strong authority transfer
Relevance	Same industry/topic	Contextual trust signal
Traffic	1,000+ monthly	Referral potential
Editorial Context	Natural mention	Google values editorial links
Anchor Diversity	Natural variation	Avoids over-optimization
