🧾 Links That Impress Nobody
Directory submissions, comment links and guest posts on made-for-SEO blogs are easy to deliver in bulk, which is exactly why they're worthless. Google discounts them, and they'll never send you a customer.

Link Building Services That Earn Real Authority
Links remain one of the strongest signals in Google's algorithm, and they've become just as important for AI search - LLMs lean heavily on which sources get referenced across the web. Yet most link building services still revolve around churning out guest posts on sites nobody reads.
I approach seo link building using The Teammate Technique - a link building approach I created and wrote about on the Moz blog. It comes down to four steps: establish assets that are genuinely worth referencing, prospect for the right sites, reach out like a human being, and monitor the links you earn. That's the same thinking behind the digital PR work I've spoken about at conferences across Europe.
Whether you need link building services in the UK or you're building authority in international markets, every campaign is planned around your niche, your competitors and the gaps between you.
“Not only did he manage to dole out golden tips on tailoring HARO outreach and on structuring our workflow, he was also excellent in getting my team revved up about a link building strategy they had felt a bit insecure about.”
Why Most Link Building Fails
If you've tried link building before and seen nothing move, the campaign probably suffered from one of these.
🎯 Nothing Worth Linking To
Outreach without a linkable asset rarely gets a reply. Journalists and site owners link to data, tools, strong opinions and genuinely useful resources - which is why the campaign has to start with creating one.
⚠️ Shortcuts That Become Liabilities
Bought link placements and private blog networks leave patterns that Google's spam systems are specifically trained to find. The rankings they rent you can disappear overnight, along with more besides.
What do my link building services involve?
Competitor Backlink Analysis
Mapping exactly where your competitors' authority comes from, and which of those links you can realistically win or better.
Linkable Asset Strategy
Planning the data pieces, tools and resources that give journalists and site owners a real reason to reference you.
Digital PR Campaigns
Story-driven campaigns that land coverage and links from publications your customers actually read.
Manual Outreach
Personal, targeted outreach to relevant sites - no templates blasted to ten thousand inboxes.
Quality & Risk Review
Auditing your existing backlink profile for toxic patterns, over-optimised anchors and wasted equity.
Reporting That Means Something
Links reported with their relevance and authority in context, tied to the rankings they're moving.
White Hat Link Building, Without Exception
Everything I build is white hat link building: links earned because the content deserves them, from sites with real audiences. I've spent years on stage telling rooms full of SEOs how editorial links are actually earned - the last thing I'm going to do is risk a client's domain on tactics I've publicly warned against.
That also means I'll be honest with you. If your site doesn't yet have anything worth linking to, we fix that first, because outreach without substance wastes everyone's money. And once the links start coming, consistency matters - links can lose value over time, so building fresh, relevant links month on month beats one big burst every time.
SEO Link Building as Part of the Bigger Picture
Links work hardest when the rest of your SEO is in order. A strong backlink profile pointing at a site with technical problems or thin content won't get you very far - the links need somewhere worth ranking to point at.
That's why my link building often runs alongside broader SEO services or an initial SEO audit - so the authority we earn lands on pages that are ready to convert it into rankings and revenue. For B2B and SaaS brands especially, the combination of bottom-of-funnel content and earned authority is what separates page one from page three.
Link Building FAQ
What do your link building services include?
Competitor backlink analysis, linkable asset planning, digital PR campaigns, manual outreach and reporting - as a standalone campaign or alongside wider SEO work. Every engagement is bespoke to your niche and your competitors, because that's where the winnable links are.
Do you offer link building packages?
Not in the "10 links for £X a month" sense - fixed packages force quantity over quality, which is backwards. I scope campaigns around what your site needs to compete, then agree a monthly investment that matches it. You always know what you're paying for and why.
Is your link building white hat?
Yes, exclusively. No bought placements, no private blog networks, no link farms. Links are earned through content, data and stories that sites genuinely want to reference - the kind of profile that survives every Google update.
Should I just buy backlinks instead?
I'd strongly advise against it. Bought links leave footprints Google's spam systems are trained to detect, and the sites selling them link out to hundreds of others - diluting whatever value existed. It usually costs more to clean up a toxic profile than it would have cost to build a real one.
How many links do I need to rank?
It depends entirely on your niche and the keyword. Competitor backlink analysis answers this properly: I look at who currently ranks, how many referring domains those pages have and how frequently they earn fresh links - referring domains are a much better indicator than raw backlink counts. Sometimes what it takes is a handful of excellent links, not hundreds.
Do you offer digital PR services too?
Yes - digital PR is how the strongest links get earned, and it's built into my campaigns. Story-driven pieces, data studies and expert commentary that land coverage on real publications, with the links following naturally.
