Outrank your competitors with high quality backlinks.

SEO link building is all about building relationships with relevant websites in your industry. The best way to do this is to create quality content — or provide key information — that such websites find useful. In return, we expect these websites to connect with ours via hyperlinks or backlinks.  

Building relevant links from authoritative websites is important because Google’s algorithms consider a website’s link profile when deciding on whether it is authoritative and can be ‘trusted’ or not.

Link building incorporates many of the practices of our digital PR services and we often run both SEO strategies together.

Our link building agency UK services can help you to:

 

👉Position your website in front of your target audience.

👉Drive more paying customers to your website.

👉Make your website appear more trustworthy and authoritative. 

👉Increase your keyword rankings.

👉Boost your overall SEO & content creation efforts.

FAQs — Link building agency UK services

How much should I pay for link building?

We bundle our link building costs in with our general SEO pricing. This is because we believe link building should comprise of just one aspect of your overall SEO campaign for the best results — alongside good content/SEO copy creation, conversion-rate optimisation, UX and more. 

It’s hard to give a precise answer because it depends on so many variables. But we can give you approximations of what you can expect to pay in our SEO costs article. It depends really on multiple factors, including the size of your business and what you want out of your campaign.

How many backlinks do I need to be on page 1?

It depends on how competitive your industry is. Some industries are super-competitive and lots of backlinks might be required. Some of the least competitive industries might not require all that many.

One thing to take away though is, there is no such thing as too few high quality backlinks. And most individual webpages don’t have any backlinks at all, so just a 1-2 in this regard can really help.

How long does link building take to work?

Link building (and SEO in general) is a bit of a slow burner. It can take a while for the search engines to crawl and then recognise that a website has accrued new or more backlinks. There’s no solid science to this. Some results can take effect very quickly. But most SEO experts agree that it can take anywhere between 3-12 months for a successful link building strategy to take effect.

I have more backlinks than my competitors but they’re still ranking higher than I do — why is this?

It could be that you have poor quality/less relevant backlinks, whereas your competitor has fewer but higher quality backlinks. In the link building world, it’s quality not quantity that matters — and poor quality links may actually be harming your website.

Another factor could be that the content you’re producing doesn’t quite match the intent of your target audience. If you miss the mark slightly, Google will promote the web pages that it thinks are the best match for what the searcher is looking for. 

The truth is there are lots of factors that could influence this. We’ve listed two common reasons here. That’s why we always recommend a link building strategy that runs alongside a more holistic SEO strategy. So if poor content is holding you back, despite a good link profile, we can work on improving that content. 

How do you check backlinks?

We use SEO tools to do this such as Ahrefs. We spend £1000s a month on keyword tools that tell us how many backlinks a website has, including your competitors. These tools also tell us what websites are linking to them, what anchor text they are using, and whether they are any good or not.

What exactly is ‘domain authority’ and how can you check this?

Domain authority, sometimes also known as ‘domain rating’, is (to use Ahrefs’ definition), ‘The strength of your target’s backlink profile compared to the other websites on a 100-point logarithmic scale’. For example, a website with a DR of 90/100 has a stronger link profile than a website with 20/100. We can check your domain authority using our SEO tools such as Ahrefs.

Does link building still work?

Yes. Some influencers in the SEO world are keen to talk about how link building isn’t as important as it used to be. But we see everyday the power that a good link strategy can have on rankings and website visibility. So we still consider it to be very important — and indeed, even crucial — in very competitive industries.
