Increase your keyword coverage with contextual links pointing to your deeper pages

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.

What you receive

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.

How we work

  1. Review and adjustEvery cycle we look at what moved and what did not, and we change the shortlist accordingly. A plan that never changes is a plan nobody is reading.
  2. Read the site firstBefore any outreach we go through the pages you want to rank, the profile you already have, and the competitors you keep losing to. Sometimes this ends with us recommending you spend the budget on the pages instead.
  3. Write to their standardThe draft has to survive their editor, not ours. If it needs three rounds it gets three rounds — a piece that reads like filler undermines the link sitting inside it.
  4. Place in contextYour link goes where a reader would reasonably follow it, surrounded by text that makes the reference make sense. Position inside the article is negotiated, not left to chance.
  5. Agree the shortlistYou see every publisher before we approach them, with the reasoning attached. Anything you are not comfortable with comes off the list and nothing is placed on a site you have not seen.

Our standards

The publisher base

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.

Common questions

Do you work with agencies under white label?

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.

What happens if a link is removed?

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.

Who writes the content?

We do, to the publisher's brief. If you would rather supply drafts, we will edit them to the publisher's standard before submission.

How do you price?

By placement, on the publisher, agreed before we start. There is no bulk discount for volume because volume is not what we are selling.

Are the links dofollow?

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.

Do you place links to affiliate or YMYL pages?

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.

Where we focus

Ongoing monitoring
Every placement we make is re-checked on a schedule for as long as you are with us. If a link disappears, you hear it from us before you notice it in a tool.
Niche edits
Where an existing page already covers your topic well, we approach the editor about adding a reference. Cheaper than a new post and often better placed, because the page already has history.
Migration link care
Site moves are where profiles quietly bleed out. We map the old link targets, watch the redirects and chase the publishers whose links broke in the process.
Digital PR outreach
Longer campaigns built around something worth writing about — original data, a strong opinion, a tool. Slower to start, but the coverage tends to keep arriving after the campaign ends.
