LOCAL LINK BUILDING
Local Link Building for Contractors and Home Service Companies
We earn links from a mix of local, relevant sources, like suppliers, associations, community sites and quality business directories. The Growth plan includes 20 to 25 new links a month.
Every link is reported to you, with the page it points to.
HOME SERVICE BUSINESSES WE HAVE WORKED WITH
Why does a competitor with a worse website outrank you?
You have the better crew, the better reviews and a better website. Yet the other company shows up first. One reason is often links. To Google, a link from another real website is a sign that your business is known and trusted. Your competitor may simply have more of them.
Few real websites mention you
Even though you have worked in town for years.
Your best connections are not online
Your suppliers, your manufacturers, your local groups.
Cheap link offers are a trap
Bought links can put your site at risk.
Google says prominence, one of its three local ranking factors, is based partly on how many websites link to your business.
The good news: you probably already have the connections. We turn them into links.
So what is local link building, in plain English?
A link is when another website points to yours. Local link building is earning those links from real sources in your area: suppliers, manufacturers you are certified with, chambers of commerce, local news and community groups. Google counts links as a sign that your business is known and trusted.
Google's spam policies do not allow paying for links that pass ranking credit, so we focus on earning links from real, relevant sources.
Next, is this right for a company like yours?
Is local link building right for your business?
It is right for you if you have a good reputation locally but few links, you are in a competitive town, or you want the extra backlinks in our Growth plan explained.
It is not for you if you want hundreds of cheap links. Those can hurt you.
Local links help most for general contractor, roofing, landscaping and HVAC companies in crowded markets.
If that sounds like you, here is exactly what we do.
What you get with local link building
We find real link sources in your records
Your suppliers, the manufacturers whose products you install, partner trades, property managers and real estate offices.
Community links
Local sponsorships, events, chambers of commerce and associations you already belong to.
Local press and partnerships
Where you have a real story, like a project or a charity job.
Useful pages worth linking to
Such as a project gallery or a local guide.
A report on every link
Where it is, what page it points to, and why we chose it.
What 20 to 25 links a month looks like. The strongest links come from your suppliers, partners and local press. The rest come from community and association pages, local business sites and quality directories. We skip sites that look spammy, and we report every link.
Here is how little work this takes from you.
How local link building works: four simple steps
- You share your connections: suppliers, certifications, associations, past projects.
- We pick the best opportunities and reach out.
- We earn and confirm each link.
- We report every link and track what it does for your rankings and calls.
