Slow, checked, permanent placements — the opposite of a bulk link package.
We work with a shortlist of publishers rather than a marketplace. That means we say no to a lot of requests, and it means the sites we do work with keep their standards intact. A link only matters if the page around it matters, so the page around it is where we spend our attention.
Nothing in the report is a score we invented. Where we quote a third-party metric we name the tool and the date it was pulled, because those numbers move and a figure without a date is decoration.
Alongside new placements, each report lists everything we re-checked from previous cycles and its current state. Links that disappeared appear in the report as clearly as links that went live.
If a placement did not happen, the report says which one and why. Campaigns that only ever report successes are hiding the interesting part.
Reports are written on the assumption that somebody sceptical will read them. Every placement carries the live URL, the anchor used, the target page, the publication date and a short note explaining why that publisher was on the list in the first place.
The publisher list is deliberately narrow and grows slowly. Every addition is read, checked and usually trialled on our own projects before a client sees it.
Yes. Reports can go out unbranded or under your own, and we are used to being the party that never speaks to the end client.
We find out on the next scheduled check, tell you, and go back to the publisher. If it cannot be restored we replace it or credit it. This is written into how we work rather than offered case by case.
We do, to the publisher's brief. If you would rather supply drafts, we will edit them to the publisher's standard before submission.
By placement, on the publisher, agreed before we start. There is no bulk discount for volume because volume is not what we are selling.
By default yes, and the report states the attribute for every placement. A natural profile contains a mix, so we do not treat a nofollow from a strong publisher as a failure.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the page. We will look at it and give you an honest read on whether publishers will take it.
A companion project of ours goes deeper into the measurement side of all this:
If you want to test us, commission the smallest thing on the list. We would rather earn a larger engagement than negotiate for one up front.
