What are link building services?
Earning links to your website from other relevant sites. Google treats a link from a trusted site as a vote of confidence.
A backlink is simply a link from another website to yours. Off-page SEO, also called off-site SEO, is the wider work done away from your site: links, mentions, reviews and PR.
Quality beats quantity. One link from a respected local news site does more than a hundred from sites nobody reads.
Where good links come from
Real links come from real relationships and real stories.
Suppliers and partners
The firms you already work with. Some have a partners or stockists page you could be on.
Trade bodies
Memberships and accreditations often come with a listing and a link.
Local press, events and sponsorships
Sponsor a local team or run an event, and local sites often write about it.
Digital PR
A real story or your own data, offered to journalists who cover your field.
Unlinked mentions
Sites that already name you but don’t link. A polite email often fixes it.
Directory listings for local searches are part of local SEO.
What we never do
Some link tactics break Google’s spam policies. A penalty can wipe out months of work, so we won’t use them.
- Buy links, or pay to have links slipped into old articles.
- Use private blog networks (fake sites built only to link out).
- Run mass guest posts stuffed with keyword links.
- Spam blog comments or forums.
- Promise a set number of links a month.
From research to a live link
Links work best when your own pages are already strong. If they’re not, we’ll suggest on-page SEO first.
Compare your links
We use Semrush to see who links to the sites out-ranking you, and who links to you.
List real chances
Partners, local press, trade bodies and mentions: sites with a real reason to link.
Outreach and PR
We contact site owners and journalists one by one, with a reason to say yes.
Report every link
Each month you see the page, the date and whether the link is still live.
What £30 an hour buys
Research and outreach time. Site owners decide whether to link, so nobody can honestly promise a number of links.
Your monthly report shows exactly where the hours went.
| What the report shows | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hours worked | You see what you paid for |
| Outreach sent | Who we contacted, and about what |
| Links won | The page, the date and whether it’s still live |
| Mentions without a link | Follow-ups we’ll chase next month |
Mentions and AI answers
AI Overviews and AI assistants lean on what trusted sites say about a business. So the steady mentions that help your rankings can help there too. There are no guarantees either way.

How many backlinks do I need?
There’s no magic number. What matters is how you compare with the sites ranking above you for the searches you want. A local business may need only a handful of good local links. Busy national markets need far more. Our first step is that comparison, so you’ll know the size of the gap before you spend much.
Do you buy links?
No. Buying links that pass ranking value breaks Google’s spam policies. Google can ignore those links or penalise your site, and a penalty can undo months of work. Paid placements are fine as adverts if they’re marked as sponsored, but they won’t help your rankings. We spend your hours earning links instead.
Are private blog networks safe?
No. A private blog network is a set of sites built only to link to other sites. They break Google’s guidelines and can lead to a manual penalty, where Google demotes or removes your pages. We never use them. If someone offers you lots of links, fast and cheap, this is often how.
Do you guarantee a number of links?
No. Site owners decide whether to link, so nobody can honestly promise a number. What we do commit to is the agreed hours, outreach to sites with a real reason to link, and a monthly report listing every link won. You’ll see exactly what your hours bought.
How do I choose a link building agency?
Ask three questions. Where will the links come from? Will you see every link, with the page and the date? And do they promise a set number of links a month? A good link building agency names real sources, like partners, trade bodies and local press, reports every link it wins and never promises a number. If an agency offers lots of links, fast and cheap, walk away.
Should I disavow “toxic” links?
Rarely. Google ignores most spammy links on its own, so disavowing them (telling Google to ignore them) usually does nothing. It’s worth doing if Google has sent a manual action notice in Search Console, or if you know links were bought for your site in the past. We’ll check during your audit.
How long before links help?
Months, not weeks. Google has to find each new link, and its effect builds slowly alongside the rest of your SEO. SEO usually takes 3-6 months to show results. See how long SEO takes for what sets the pace.
