Links that other sites want to give you
Content-led link outreach
The most sustainable way to earn backlinks is to create content worth linking to — data-led articles, useful tools, original research, or definitive guides — and then promote that content to the right publications and sites. I identify link opportunities in your niche, craft the outreach, and secure placements that bring both link equity and referral traffic to your site.
Turn visibility into backlinks
Digital PR & brand mentions
Digital PR positions you or your business as an expert source for journalists and publications — earning natural backlinks from news sites, industry blogs, and regional publications. I pitch your expertise to relevant media contacts and help you respond to journalist requests (via platforms like Quoted) to build a steady stream of high-authority backlinks alongside genuine brand awareness.
Win the links your competitors already have
Competitor backlink analysis
If a competitor is ranking above you, chances are they have stronger links from sites you could also earn links from. I use Ahrefs to analyse your competitors’ backlink profiles, identify the sites linking to them, and build a targeted outreach strategy to close that gap — systematically earning the same links your competitors have while finding new opportunities they’ve missed.

Link building FAQ
Common questions about building backlinks
Why are backlinks important for SEO?
Backlinks act as votes of confidence from other websites. When a high-authority site links to yours, it passes some of its authority (referred to as “link equity” or “PageRank”) to your site, signalling to Google that your content is trustworthy and worth ranking. The quality, relevance, and diversity of your backlink profile is one of Google’s strongest ranking signals.
What makes a link "high quality"?
A high-quality link comes from a site that is: authoritative (high Domain Rating in Ahrefs), relevant to your niche or industry, genuinely trafficked by real users, and editorially placed (meaning the linking site chose to link to you, rather than being paid or exchanged). Quantity without quality can actually harm your rankings.
Do you buy links?
No. Paid links are a violation of Google’s guidelines and carry the risk of a manual penalty that can tank your rankings overnight. All link building I carry out is white hat — earned through genuine outreach, quality content, and legitimate digital PR.
How long does link building take to show results?
Link building is a long-term strategy. New backlinks are typically indexed by Google within 2–4 weeks, but the ranking impact of a stronger backlink profile builds over 3–6 months as Google processes the authority signals. I provide monthly backlink reports so you can track new links and domain authority growth.
How many links do I need?
It depends entirely on your competition. I’ll analyse the backlink profiles of the sites currently ranking for your target keywords and set a realistic target for how many and what quality of links you need to compete. For some niches, 10 strong links can be transformative; others require a sustained 12-month campaign.
