Buying guide

Choosing a link building agency

Links still help pages rank, but the method matters. Paid links and private blog networks break Google's rules and can cost you rankings. Look for agencies that earn links through content, digital PR, partnerships and outreach to relevant sites.

Ask exactly how links are earned, which sites they've secured links on recently, and whether any payments are involved. A trustworthy agency will be open about its methods and happy to share examples.

Questions to ask

  • How exactly do you earn links?
  • Do you ever pay for links?
  • Which sites have you earned links on recently?
  • How do you choose relevant targets for us?
Questions

Link building agencies: FAQs

Is paying for link building safe?

Buying links that pass ranking signals breaks Google's spam policies and can lead to lost visibility. Paying an agency for outreach, content and digital PR that earns links on merit is a different thing. Ask any provider how links are acquired and where they come from.

How do I judge the quality of a link building agency's work?

Ask for examples of links placed for past clients and check those sites yourself. Relevant, real publications with genuine traffic are worth far more than a high volume of links from obscure blogs. A clear process and honest reporting matter more than promised link counts.
