SEO
Link building
We do not sell link packages, and this page exists to say so before you spend money on one. Links still matter, but bought ones are the reason plenty of sites lost their traffic, and the sellers keep selling because the damage arrives months after the invoice. What we do instead is listed below, along with what we would tell you to do without us.
What you get
- Directory and industry listings that genuinely belong to your business, submitted by hand
- Local relationships worth having: associations, suppliers, chambers, sponsorships you were going to do anyway
- Pages worth citing: your own numbers, your own process, the things a journalist or a supplier can point at
- A check of the links you already have, including the ones a previous agency bought in your name
- Disavow advice where a bought profile is doing damage, written so anyone can act on it
How it works
- 01
Look at what you have
week 1
The existing profile, including anything inherited from a previous vendor. Sometimes the first useful move is removal rather than acquisition.
- 02
Claim what is yours
week 1 to 3
Listings, profiles and memberships that already apply to your business. Unglamorous, free, and the part most agencies skip because it cannot be sold as a package.
- 03
Earn the rest
ongoing
Publishing something worth pointing at, and telling the people who would point at it. Slow, and the only durable version of this work.
What it costs
Ranges, not a single number: the final figure is fixed in writing before we start. Responsive design and on page SEO are included, not add ons.
- Included in the monthly plan
- $250 / month
This work sits inside the monthly SEO plan. There is no separate link package to buy from us.
Work we have done
When not to hire us
- You want a number of links per month. That is exactly the product we refuse to sell.
- You want guest posts placed on sites that exist to host guest posts. Those are paid links with a different label.
- You want us to match what a link vendor quoted. We cannot, because the thing they are selling is not the thing we do.
Questions
- Do you sell backlinks?
- No. Not as a package, not as an add on, not through a partner. It is the one service in this branch we will not provide at any price.
- Do links still matter?
- Yes, but not the ones sold in bulk. A link from an organisation you actually deal with counts differently from a link on a site whose only business is selling links.
- What if I already bought links?
- We look at what is there and tell you whether it is worth disavowing. Sometimes the honest answer is that the damage is done and the fix is time.
- How do I get links without buying them?
- Publish something only you can publish, usually numbers from your own work, and tell the people who care about it. It is slow, it is not a campaign, and it is the only version that keeps working.
- Is this included in the monthly plan?
- Yes, the listings and the relationship work are part of the $250 a month plan. There is no separate line item because there is no package.
