Links still carry more weight than any other off-page factor, which is why the market for buying them is so large and so consistently disappointing. Marketplace links come from sites built to sell links, have no genuine audience, and increasingly get discounted to zero — leaving you with the cost and the risk and none of the benefit.
The alternative is slower and works: give publications a reason to reference you. That means original data, genuinely useful resources, and expert commentary that a journalist can actually use.
What we build and what we refuse
What we build: editorial mentions in UK trade press and sector publications; coverage earned through original data and research; expert commentary and quote placement; genuine guest contributions to publications with real readerships; resource and reference links from universities, industry bodies and professional associations; reclaimed unlinked brand mentions; and foundational profiles on legitimate directories and review platforms.
What we refuse: private blog networks, paid link marketplaces, bulk directory submissions, comment and forum profile spam, link exchange schemes, and any arrangement whose only purpose is passing PageRank. These are explicit link scheme violations. They also, more practically, do not work any more — and the cleanup cost when they are discounted or penalised exceeds whatever was saved.
Original data is the strongest asset
The highest-yield link building asset is a statistic that exists nowhere else. Journalists need numbers, and a business with operational data has numbers that no competitor can publish.
Most companies are sitting on this without realising. Aggregate, anonymised patterns from your own operations — pricing trends, seasonality, regional variation, demand shifts — are publishable and genuinely newsworthy to trade press. One well-executed data piece routinely earns more referring domains than a year of guest posting, and the links keep arriving long after the campaign ends because the page becomes the citable source.
Anchor text and link velocity
A natural link profile is dominated by brand and URL anchors. Sites that get into difficulty almost always show the same signature: a high proportion of exact-match commercial anchors, because every link was placed deliberately by someone optimising for a keyword.
We target roughly 50% brand anchors, 20% naked URL, 15% generic, 10% partial-match and 5% exact-match. Velocity is kept steady rather than campaigned — a site earning three to eight quality referring domains a month sustainably outperforms one that adds sixty in a quarter and then nothing.
Toxic link audit and disavow
Most sites with any history carry links from previous agencies, expired-domain spam, scraper sites and directories that have since decayed. Google is reasonably good at ignoring these, and disavow is over-used — but there are genuine cases, particularly where there is a history of paid link building or a manual action.
We audit the profile, classify by risk, and disavow only where there is a real case. Reflexively disavowing anything with a low third-party metric removes links that were passing value.

How we work
- 1 Audit what exists Establish the current profile, anchor distribution and any genuine risk before adding anything.
- 2 Find the gap Analyse where competitors earn links that you do not, and which of those sources are realistically reachable.
- 3 Build something worth linking to Data, tools or resources. Outreach without an asset is just asking for favours.
- 4 Outreach to real publications Targeted, relevant, personalised. Volume outreach to generic lists produces nothing but spam complaints.
- 5 Maintain steady velocity Consistent monthly acquisition rather than campaign spikes.
