Our Link Building Services
Link building is one of the decisive disciplines for demonstrating the relevance of your website to search engines. As a leading link acquisition agency, we understand how crucial backlinks are for the site’s visibility. Especially in highly competitive markets, they are an essential factor for achieving top rankings.
In successful content marketing, the quantity of backlinks has become less important. Instead, factors such as topical relevance, authority, link context, and the selection of appropriate anchor text determine how search engines evaluate a link.
Classic Link Building
To generate high-quality backlinks for you, we rely on modern approaches that have proven successful. With the tool COBRA, we manage an international portfolio of potential publishers across all relevant subject areas.
Potential-Based Link Building
With this form of link building, we identify suitable opportunities for organic link acquisition. We analyze both the link sources of competitors and thematically relevant content on high-quality potential link sources. Through targeted outreach to site owners, we initiate conversations and work to secure links to the content and webpages.
Backlink Gap Analysis
A backlink gap analysis reveals the gaps in your backlink profile compared to your most important competitors. It shows which valuable links competitors have that you are missing. The goal of this analysis is to identify opportunities for your backlink profile and develop strategies to close the gaps.
Link Audit
As part of a link audit, we analyze and evaluate your backlink profile and, upon request, compare it with competitors’. This allows us to uncover improvement opportunities and untapped potential. We develop a content marketing strategy to close the identified gaps and optimize your link profile.
Broken Backlink Analysis
In a broken backlink analysis, we identify broken links pointing to the domain and recommend appropriate measures to restore them. Repairing damaged link structures can restore lost link equity and recover lost potential for your domain.
