Link Building Services

When a trusted website links to yours, search engines take it as a recommendation. Our link building services earn those links from local publications, industry sites and best-of lists, so search engines have good reason to trust your site.

What Our Link Building Services Include

Every engagement starts with a link audit. Then we earn your links from the placements below, each one a spot on another website that links to your business or names it. If you have more than one location, we build local links for each one.

  • A link audit Before we build anything, we look at the links already pointing to your site. Some links hurt a site more than they help it, and where we find those we ask Google to ignore them, so they stop counting against you.
  • Local and regional publications News sites and magazines that cover your city or region. A link from one ties your business to the place it serves.
  • Industry sites Websites that write about your line of work, where a link shows you belong in your field.
  • Best-of roundups Articles that list the businesses worth calling for a service in an area. People read them when they're ready to pick someone.
  • Brand mentions on reputable publications Your business named in articles on sites that readers and search engines already trust.
  • Expert quotes in the press Journalists ask for people who know a subject. We put you forward, and you're quoted as an industry expert in the articles they write.

What Link Building Does for Your Business

Link building gives search engines a reason to trust your site, because a link from another website works like someone else vouching for you.

  • Pages that can compete. With trusted links behind it, your site is a stronger candidate when someone searches for what you sell.
  • Standing in your own area. Links from local and regional websites show search engines that your business is established where it works.
  • Readers as well as rankings. A mention in a local publication or a roundup is read by people, and some of them come looking for you.

We put where a link comes from ahead of how many there are, because a link from a site in your area or your line of work counts for more.

How We Price Link Building

We price link building on a monthly budget that we set together, sized to what your site needs and what your business can put toward it. For that budget, we commit to a range of links each month.

It's a range because no two links cost the same. What a link costs depends on the site it comes from and how much trust search engines place in that site. We work out where your site stands today, choose the level of sites worth going after first, and that gives us the range you can expect at your budget.

As your site gains trust, the links that keep it moving come from stronger sites, so the range can change over time.

How Our Link Building Process Works

We run link building as a loop: see where your site stands, clear what's dragging it down, earn the placements that count, then do more of what's paying off.

  1. Diagnose

    We audit your site and your tracking, including the links that already point to your site, and study your keywords and your position in your market. We rank the findings by impact, highest first. The stage ends with a strategy call, where our founder reviews the full audit with you and breaks down what it means for the order and schedule of the work.

  2. Build

    We fix what the audit flagged in your listings and your links, and we set up tracking and verify it.

  3. Optimize

    We act on what the performance data shows and shift effort toward what brings in leads.

  4. Scale

    We put more effort behind what's proven and expand into more keywords and service areas. Then we go back to Diagnose to find the next thing holding you back.

  • The PULSE Our monthly report, with the trends and our recommendations in plain language. We review it with you in a strategy session.
  • Direct access Between the two, you can reach us on Slack, WhatsApp or by email.

Why Businesses Choose Us as Their Link Building Company

Link building happens on other people's websites, where you can't watch it. We keep it in front of you: what we're going after, why, and where it stands.

  • Straight communication. We talk to you the way people talk to each other: upfront, in plain words, with nothing dressed up in technical language. You always know what's going on, why, and what it means for your business, whether that comes in a weekly update, a monthly strategy session or a quick Slack message.
  • Consistent, reliable and quick. We don't go quiet for most of the month and reappear when the invoice is due. We keep the work moving, stay in touch, and catch problems before they turn into real ones. We'd rather be proactive than reactive.
  • Built around your business. A cookie-cutter strategy doesn't work the way it used to. What works for one business doesn't always work for another, even in the same industry, and less so in a different market. So we start with an audit and market research, and let what we find set the strategy.

    I recently hired Modern Pulse Media to build the website for my new business, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

    Sean was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. He truly listened to my vision and captured my ideas for the site perfectly. The final product was delivered exactly as promised and looks fantastic.

    I will definitely be using them for my future marketing needs. If you're launching a new website or need SEO help, I highly recommend Sean and Modern Pulse Media.

    Have had a great experience with Modern Pulse Media. The team initiates and responds to everything in a timely manner. They have a thorough and customized approach. They make sure that you approve everything prior, which is important to a business owner who likes to have a hands on approach and oversight. I have been with them a few months now and look forward to continuing having them run my marketing. It is hard to find a company who can make you stand out if you have a business in a saturated market, but Modern Pulse does just that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do link building services include?

Our link building services include placements on local and regional publications, industry sites and best-of roundups, brand mentions on reputable publications, and expert quotes in articles written by journalists. Every engagement also starts with a link audit and cleanup of harmful links.

How much do link building services cost?

We price link building services on a monthly budget that we set with you. For that budget we commit to a range of links each month, and the range depends on the kind of sites your links need to come from.

How long does link building take to work?

Link building usually takes three to six months to show clear results, and longer in a competitive market. Search engines need time to find new links and weigh them, so the effect builds.

Are backlink services the same as link building services?

Yes. A backlink is a link from another website to yours, and link building is the work of earning them. The two names describe one service.

Is link building part of SEO?

Yes. Link building is one of our three SEO services, alongside Local SEO and GEO / AEO / AI Search Optimization. We plan all three from the same audit, so the links we build support the rest of your SEO work.

How will I know what's being done each month?

You get a weekly update on what we're working on and where things stand. Each month we send our report, The PULSE, and go through it with you in a strategy session. In between, you can reach us on Slack, WhatsApp or by email.
