Tips on Selecting the Best Link-Building Company

Anyone with a slight bit of familiarity with content marketing would be able to convey to you the importance of link-building. Link building lets you drive increased referral traffic as well as it also enhances the site authority. If you wish to outsource the link-building task, here are our tips on selecting the best link-building company.

Clear and Comprehensive Information 

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” You should keep this quote of Einstein in mind while zeroing in on the best link-building company. Though link building is apparently a complicated process, it is not exactly rocket science that a layman with considerable business acumen and experience would not be able to comprehend. So, if the presentation is not crystal clear, probably the company in question either lacks expertise or transparency. A telltale sign would be too much jargon usage.

Emphasis is on Content

Genuine and high-quality linking is usually coupled with captivating content. Gone is the era when you can simply purchase links and expect to rank your content on Google’s SERP page. So, the company you are going to award the contract for link building must also be a premium content producer. Your best bet would be to opt for a full-service digital marketing company.

Periodic Reviews on a Regular Interval

Any reputed link-building company would systematically provide you reports on a regular intervals to review. In fact, most probably they would include periodic reviews in their proposal itself. Periodic reviews are in a way your right to check on the generated links and their genuineness. If possible, you should also ask for their previous work. If they cannot share that with you due to a non-disclosure policy, at least they can provide you with the report of their own sites. 

Keeps Expectations Grounded 

Genuine and experienced link-building companies are aware that rankings are really tough to obtain. Thus, they refrain from over-promising. Just coz your site is participating in Google doesn’t necessarily mean that you can expect top-notch rankings. A plain fact about link building is that outcomes are not guaranteed. To rank on the Google SERP, your site needs to outperform the competition. So, in a way, your success also depends on your competition and their efforts.

Check the History and References

Just like any other vendor, you would never falter by checking the history and references for all the link-building companies in contention. A genuine company would have no issue in sharing this information with you (apart from the details of clients, who have sought privacy). If a company is too secretive or founded just a few months ago, without much of a clientele, then you would be better off refraining from dealing with them.
