Read the Lehmann case studyA backlink is another website pointing its readers to yours. Google still treats good ones as a vote of trust, and the pages that rank first usually have more of them than the pages below. The catch is that only real links count, from sites your customers would actually visit.
Our link building is earned, not bought. Every campaign starts with the pages that bring you calls, then finds sites with a real reason to point at them.
Links do their best work alongside a solid website and Google profile, so these numbers come from full SEO plans. Each one is taken from the client's own Google accounts.

Read the First Rate case studyWe don't start with a list of sites for sale. We start with your best pages and ask who would genuinely want to send people there.
Links go to the service pages, city pages and guides that turn visitors into calls. We check each one first, because a link pointing at a thin page wastes the effort.
We pull the links behind the pages beating you for your main searches, so the campaign aims at gaps you can realistically close instead of vanity numbers.
Publishers link to useful things: a cost guide, a project write-up, local data or an expert answer. Where you don't have one yet, we help write it from your own experience.
Every outreach email is written for one editor, one site and one reason. No templates blasted to thousands of inboxes.
Suppliers, manufacturers, associations and the trade partners you already work with often have pages where a link to you belongs. We find those pages and ask.
You see each link we earn: the site, the page it sits on, where it points and whether it is still live. Lost links get followed up.
Two websites can have the same authority score and be worth completely different amounts to you. This is the comparison we make before chasing any link.
A general directory with thousands of unrelated listings. The score looks fine, but no customer will ever click through, and Google knows it.
A trade publication or local news site linking to your guide inside an article its readers actually use. Modest score, real audience, real reason.
These are illustrations of how we judge sites, not placements from a client campaign.
Sometimes links are the bottleneck and sometimes something else is. The free audit tells you which.
Good content stuck in positions 11 to 30 is usually short on authority. That is where earned links tend to make the biggest difference.
Wrong addresses and duplicate directory listings come first. That cleanup lives on our off-page SEO page.
If a page wouldn't convince a visitor, links won't save it. Fix the page with on-page SEO, then promote it.
Most cheap link offers break Google's spam policies. They can look good in a report for a few months, then wipe out rankings when Google catches up.
Paying for a followed link without labelling it is against Google's rules. We don't buy or sell links of any kind.
Sites built only to pass links to clients. They are cheap for a reason, and Google removes them in batches.
Trading links in bulk and dropping links in forum or blog comments add risk without adding trust.
Earned links take time to land, so the work is steady rather than a one-off burst.
Free 24-hour audit, then a review of your current links, your competitors' links and the pages worth promoting. You get the target list before outreach starts.
We prepare the guide, data or project story the outreach needs and send the first pitches to the best-fit sites and partners.
Links start landing, we follow up and keep pitching, and each month you see what was earned, where it points and how those pages are moving in Google.

No long contracts. SEO plans carry our 60-day guarantee: noticeable results, more clicks and more interactions within 60 days, or your money back.
Work that gets other websites to link to yours. Done properly, it means finding sites with a real audience in your trade or town, giving them a reason to link and pointing that link at a page that helps their readers.
Yes. We only go after links a site owner chooses to give: editorial mentions, partner pages, memberships and coverage of something useful. We never buy links or use link networks.
We don't promise a number. One link from a respected trade site can do more than fifty from directories, so we report what we earned and where it points, not a quota.
Most earned links take a few weeks to be found by Google, and their effect builds over months. Pages already ranking on page two often move first.
Link building is focused on earning links to specific pages. Off-page SEO is broader and also covers citations, brand mentions and reviews on other sites.
Yes. We're based in Brookfield, Wisconsin, but outreach happens online, so the campaign works the same wherever you are in the United States.
