Looking for an expert to manage your link building campaigns? You’re in the right place

In competitive markets, having well-organized content alone isn’t enough

When Google compares two similar pieces of content, it tends to favor the one that is most mentioned or cited across the internet. This is because content that receives many citations from relevant editorial sites, effectively becoming a widespread topic of conversation, is more likely to be chosen as the top result for certain searches.

The same goes for the answer engines, which draw on a set of sources they consider reliable on your topic. A link from one of those sources works twice over: it strengthens your ranking and it puts you where the models go looking when they have to answer.

So, if you are wondering when to start link building, the exact answer is yesterday…

To make sure search engines perceive your content and improve its ranking, you need to understand what link building is and how to take advantage of it.

5 great reasons to improve your rankings with our link building campaigns

We have the experience you need

I’ve spent (almost) every single day of my life in the sea of the web for over 15 years. During all this time, I’ve done nothing but study search engines and how they work; I’ve run dozens of tests to figure out which techniques are valid and which to discard. I’ve also banged my head against the screen several times trying to understand links and how they work.

But then I came to master the art of link building (yes, it’s without a doubt an art). This is a big advantage for you: if you choose my service, you’ll save yourself the headaches, because I’ve already had them for you!

We have the right contacts

Over all these years, not only has my experience grown, but so has my network of contacts. Doing link building properly also means having the right connections in the right place and, believe me, I have them. Over time, I’ve built direct contacts with the best editorial teams across half of Italy, who are now always available to publish guest posts on behalf of my clients.

We tailor the link building to your goals

By studying your project, your website, your service and product, I’m able to create together with you a publishing plan perfectly geared toward achieving your ranking goals.

While others throw out publications at random, I make sure that every guest post link dedicated to you is thought through, calibrated and designed to climb the SERP based on your business goals.

Did someone say Branding?

The amazing thing about link building, and more specifically about digital PR, is that these activities can impact a web project across the board. Yes, ranking for certain keywords and building authority with Google and with AI models is still the goal. But meanwhile your brand also ends up on the websites of famous news outlets read by millions of Italians.

You surely know the names of these outlets too: they’re hugely famous sites and portals where your brand can reach unparalleled scale and visibility.

Guest posts with links published on sites of this size trigger virtuous circles to the benefit of your brand and your company. It’s a very effective strategy for building your brand awareness and reputation.

Travel easy, we’ll handle everything!

After the initial calls needed to organize everything and align on the goals, once the strategy is set it will be me who gets the engine of your link building and your branding running. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is watching your traffic grow!

At that point, all you’ll have to do is wait for my timely reports on the results achieved and on the ranking changes for the keywords that matter. My goal is for you to go back to focusing on your work, while I take care of bringing home the results we agreed on, in black and white.

When to start working on link building?

Any SEO expert can confirm it: links matter.

All the leading professionals in the field agree on the weight that a good link earning strategy has on the ranking of a website.

Link earning (acquiring links from authoritative sites outside your own) remains one of the highest-impact elements in terms of ranking on search engines.

The chart shows the relevance that Google assigns to the different onsite and offsite factors

In a quality project, one that starts with solid keyword research and continues with top-notch SEO optimization, increasing link popularity is one of the main roads to follow to gain traffic…

The power of links: the numbers prove it

Remember that Google’s algorithm weighs the following in its assessment:

  • at 20.26%, the anchor text of external links pointing to the pages
  • at 22.33%, the link popularity toward the specific page
  • at 23.87%, the authority and trust of the site itself

About 42.5% of the importance in how your site ranks on search engines depends on links and on the way they are connected to other sites.

All things considered, then, you can say that about half of your site’s success depends on link building.

Do you see why I tell you that you should have started YESTERDAY?

How much does it cost to buy links?

Type of publicationAverage cost Penalty risk*Effectiveness*
Links from comments€0
Links from press releases€0 – 20
Links from PBNs€40 – 60
Links from a news outlet€100 – 250
Links from a brand news outlet€500 – 5000

Average cost per link in the Italian market.
* The rating is purely indicative as it depends on the specific case and on the choices/skills of whoever manages the campaign.

Even though tables like this one summarize the average “cost per link”, it’s important to remember that a good link building campaign goes beyond simply buying links. It’s about building relevance in the specific sector using the right anchor text, tier 2 strategies and so on…

Thinking you can buy cheap links to solve your ranking problems is, today more than ever, just a faint illusion. If you were considering it, take my advice… if you want to avoid the typical mistakes of DIY link building, it’s better to rely on an expert!

Beware of DIY link building

Recovering from a penalty caused perhaps by an amateur use of PBNs or similar is very difficult, which is why I’m telling you…

Better to leave it to those who know how, and not improvise!

What sets my link building service apart?

  1. We work on domains with high domain authority

    Links from websites with a high DA help transfer strength to your website.

    Referral traffic coming from these sites can also provide a steady source of new users. Receiving links from highly authoritative domains will help your ranking, generally contributing to increasing your site’s trust.

  2. We carefully manage the placement of links

    The placement of links on the page is a key aspect for the success of link building.

    Although there’s no relationship between clicks received and strength transferred to the linked site, handling this aspect well is extremely important to make a campaign credible, and therefore effective.

  3. We do everything we can to engage the user

    The real reason why link
    placement is
    actually relevant is that it affects user engagement, a truly crucial factor for ranking.

    User behavior, as you can imagine, is a factor that’s hard to manipulate, and everything leads me to think it’s
    gaining more and more weight and importance over time.

  4. We only publish on pages with excellent metrics

    Not all sections of a site carry the same weight. In these terms, there’s nothing better than getting a link from a high-authority page.

    Carefully checking the entire link profile of the host site is hard work, but I assure you I do it because it’s worth it.

  5. I guarantee placements on “big” sites

    Publishing on important sites is certainly central, but not ending up in a sub, sub, sub category is just as important.

    That’s why we make sure to publish every placement in the right subfolder. The closer the host page is to the site’s home, the better it performs.

  6. We pay attention to the final publication URLs

    You always need to pay attention to:

    • keeping away from pages with too many redirects
    • checking that there are no blocks from incorrect instructions in the host site’s robots.txt file
    • making sure the host site doesn’t show SERP warnings about malware or viruses (you have no idea how many sponsored articles come out on sites like that)

The answers to your questions

What is link building?

It is the work of earning backlinks: links that point to your site from other sites. Google reads them as a signal of trust: a site cited and linked by authoritative, relevant sources is considered more reliable and ranks better. The goal is not to pile up as many as possible, but to build a profile of relevant, quality links on the pages that need to grow.

What makes a backlink high quality?

High-quality backlinks come from authoritative, relevant sites with clean link profiles, high domain authority and real traffic. They also have to be contextually relevant to your content.

What risks are involved in link building?

The main risk is acquiring low-quality or spam backlinks, which can lead to penalties from Google. It is important to focus on ethical, high-quality link building practices.

What are the steps involved in a link building campaign?

A typical link building campaign includes developing a strategy, analyzing competitors’ backlinks, collecting and assessing potential linking sites, creating content and acquiring links, followed by analysis, monitoring and reporting.

Is link building useful for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as well?

Yes, and it works on two fronts. When generative systems have to answer, they draw on a set of sources they consider reliable on that topic, and the authority built through links is one of the signals that determine whether a site belongs to that set. On top of that, when an answer cites a source it points to a URL: it is the link that makes the citation attributable to you and not to somebody with the same name.
