LINK BUILDING · UNITED STATES
Your on-page SEO is dialled in. Your content covers the topic. Your technical health is clean. And you're still on page 2. That's an authority problem. The sites above you have 10x your referring domain count, from publishers Forbes, Entrepreneur, and industry trades have linked to for years.
Request a Search Diagnostic and we'll audit your backlink profile, map the authority gap against your top US competitors, and produce a plain-English link building roadmap within five working days.

/ What's broken
In competitive US verticals, the authority gap between page 1 and page 2 is enormous. The sites outranking you have accumulated links from major US publications over years. Fixing meta titles won't move the needle.
Overseas link farms, private blog networks, paid guest posts on irrelevant blogs with no real readership. They're in your backlink profile. They dilute your real authority and add penalty risk.
You're not in your industry journalists' source lists. That means no editorial mentions, no brand authority links, no organic press coverage compounding your SEO over time.
You can rank for long-tail queries with low competition. But every keyword with real commercial volume sits behind well-linked competitors you can't outrank on content quality alone.
You've published thorough guides and blog posts. They sit in positions 30–80. Without referring domains from credible US sources, Google won't surface them over competitors with established authority.
A large site needs a link prioritisation model tied to revenue potential and current ranking gaps — not random link acquisition spread across dozens of pages.
/ What we engineer
Each workstream is built by the team that audits it, and wired into the rest of your growth system.
We pull your full backlink profile via Ahrefs, identify toxic and low-quality links, map your referring domain count against your top three US competitors, and quantify the authority gap page by page.
We identify US publishers relevant to your industry — trade publications, industry blogs, business media, niche news sites — pitch original articles, write the content, and secure editorially placed links to your target pages.
We develop a publishable asset — original US market data, a consumer survey, an industry analysis — and pitch it to journalists at Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., and relevant trade publications.
We identify legitimate US industry directories, professional associations, certification bodies, and business registries — then audit and complete your listings with accurate, consistent information.
We map authority flow across your site — identifying which pages collect external links and whether that authority distributes correctly to your highest-priority ranking targets.
Every link placed is logged: live URL, target page, anchor text, Ahrefs DR of the referring domain, and placement date. Keyword movement for target pages is tracked alongside each new placement.

/ Common questions
Straight answers on scope, timelines and cost. Anything else, ask us directly.
Ask us directlyA typical US programme runs 6–12 new referring domains per month, scaled to your keyword competition and authority gap. Competitive US verticals like SaaS, finance, or legal require higher velocity to close gaps against established competitors. We set the pace based on your specific gap analysis — not a generic package number.
We build a qualified publisher list using Ahrefs to identify authoritative sites in your niche, cross-referenced with traffic data, editorial standards, and topical relevance. For high-authority placements, we use HARO-style journalist outreach and data-driven digital PR pitches to publications that don't accept standard guest posts.
Editorial links in published articles are generally permanent. We don't use link rental schemes or tiered link networks. We monitor your backlink profile monthly and flag any removed placements.
Standard. We start every engagement with a full backlink audit identifying all toxic and low-quality links. Where disavowal is warranted — particularly for sites that received manual actions or see suppressed rankings — we prepare the disavow file and submit it through Google Search Console before beginning new acquisition.
Yes. We research, write, and edit all guest post content to the standard of the target publication. In competitive US verticals, editors receive dozens of pitches — the article has to earn its placement. You review every piece before submission.
Link building secures editorial placements through direct outreach — guest posts, brand mentions, directory listings. Digital PR creates a publishable asset — original research, survey data, or a contrarian industry analysis — and pitches it to journalists at major US publications. Both produce links; digital PR reaches publications that wouldn't accept a guest post pitch and tends to earn higher-authority placements.
Yes. Every placement is in your monthly report: live URL, target page, anchor text, and Ahrefs DR of the referring domain. You can verify each one independently.
US link building scope varies significantly by keyword competition, the authority tier of publishers you need, and the size of your gap against ranking competitors. In competitive verticals — SaaS, legal, finance, health — closing the authority gap requires higher-DR placements that take more effort to earn. A fixed-cost Search Diagnostic is the starting point: it audits your backlink profile, maps the gap, and produces a specific roadmap with clear scope. We quote in USD after the diagnostic.
