Link Building Services – London & UK
For the majority of websites, highly relevant, topical and authoritative links still make the difference between success and failure.
What do our link building services involve?
Increasing credibility and authority with link building
Links are, and always will be, a crucial part of any SEO strategy. Even the most recognised brands will have limited SEO success if Google doesn’t deem them to have any site authority.
Links drive SEO performance because Google considers each link to be a recommendation. The more quality, relevant links, the better the perception of your website and the higher you can rank for your target keywords and queries.
And quality is important. Google won’t reward your website solely for the raw number of links you have pointing to you; a natural connection and context are more important here. We only seek links from reputable, relevant websites, to provide your site with the credibility and authority it needs.
Unsurprisingly, the most trusted websites – such as national news publications, government and university websites – provide you with the most authority in Google’s eyes. And we’re proud to say that we regularly secure coverage for clients on sites like these.
Content and stories too good to refuse
We put together compelling stories, engaging articles and extremely useful expert commentary, all reflecting topical issues and often containing proprietary data.
Our expert copywriters get involved, polishing and formatting copy to make journalists’ jobs easier. When press releases are well-written and clearly set out a story’s merits, even top publications are much more likely to run with a story.
Outstanding outreach
There’s an art to outreach: knowing what stories to outreach, when to pitch them, how to tell them and, most importantly, who to outreach to. And our digital PR specialists are artists.
They cut through inbox clutter with catchy subject lines and persuasive emails. Our outreaches are targeted and we constantly evaluate their success and fine-tune our approach.
We craft bespoke media lists for each outreach, using our experience to compile industry and national sites to target. The list will consider factors such as where your competitors have links, website relevance to your industry and domain and page ratings. Then the fun begins.
Of course, it also helps that our digital PR team has developed relationships with countless journalists, who know they can expect quality content from us. Some of our contacts now come to us when they’re writing around topics our clients specialise in.

Our link building services
Here’s how we’ve achieved consistently impressive results.
Link building outreach services
Links are one of the most critical ways that Google determines the quality of a webpage, and they are factored into rankings. So the more backlinks you can generate, the better.
But SEO outreach isn’t just about grabbing as many links as possible – a successful SEO outreach campaign focuses on obtaining high-quality, authoritative links back to your page. A few well-executed backlinks will do a lot more for your site than hundreds of poor-quality ones.
A backlink from the right website gives you the seal of approval from a page that Google already trusts – transferring some of that reputation to you. We’ll make sure your SEO outreach campaign gets the right results.
Tailored digital PR campaigns
Tying nicely in with ‘linkable content’, digital PR is the process of creating the news and then letting other interested parties know about it. The more relevant links and coverage we can build and create for our clients, the bigger the impact on organic performance.
We outreach to a huge range of newspapers (national and local), government organisations, universities, blogs and industry press. So we’ve got you covered, no matter your business size or sector.
Quick win methods
There are some remarkably simple ways to gain links, if you know what you’re doing.
For new or local businesses, getting your name, address and phone number (NAP) listed in as many relevant places online as possible can really help increase your credibility with Google. We source the right places and get you signed up.
We can also see where websites have mentioned your brand without actually linking. A mention adds value on its own, but nowhere near as much as an actual link. We don’t stop with this approach until we know every instance has been discovered and actioned.
Broken links are another relatively simple way to improve your link profile. Links break as sites grow and pages get removed. We identify these opportunities and make the most of them.
Sometimes sites link to you and then they don’t. Often this is due to pages being removed from their side. This isn’t great news for us, but we get notified every time it happens and then put plans in place to regain the links.
Linkable content
We use surveys, freedom of information requests and repackaged public data to create our own newsworthy stories on behalf of clients. We then tell these stories via press releases and shareable infographics, gaining links that drive rankings and create offline and online brand visibility. Our link building is done with purpose.
