What does link acquisition mean?
A key element of SEO, link building is the process of getting other websites to link to yours through outreach. Another website will place a hyperlink in an article or feature that links right through to a page on your website. The idea is simple, but link building is actually a complex and time-consuming job. Let us take the pain out of link acquisition with our link building services.
We have the tools, creativity and tried & tested processes to attract powerful links to your website – boosting rankings, credibility and visibility.

What are the benefits of link building?
Links from other websites to your own send important trust signals to search engines such as Google. They use these signals to help decide how credible your website is and where your pages should rank. Links from trusted, relevant websites are generally more valuable. Moz developed the domain authority score as a method of measuring this trustworthiness. The key benefits of having a healthy backlink profile are better search engine rankings and increased organic traffic.
Does link building still work?
Yes, link building still works.
Links are still the primary way search engines like Google explore the web. The way in which websites link to each other provides important information. Links help to give your website context and gravitas.
As a human, we search for our own signals to help us determine if we trust a website. If a website we already trust introduces us to a new site, we’re likely to trust it too. Link building works in a similar way. As long as it’s done in an ethical (white hat) way, it helps send the right signals.
Talking about sending the right signals, long gone are the days of flooding forums and directories with links to your website. No longer does paying to post on private blog networks or producing hundreds of guest posts work, link quality matters.
But, is link building really worth it?
Link building takes time, effort, and expertise. It’s only worth it if you’re building valuable links. But when you do, the effects on your organic traffic can be impressive. That’s where SEO agencies come in, as quality link building is a minefield without an in-depth understanding of SEO as a whole.
The best link building services deliver over time because backlink building isn’t just a short-term fix. Over time, link acquisition has a positive effect on your organic search traffic. It’s also not uncommon for good content to continue picking up quality links months, even years, down the line. Essentially, valuable links from relevant websites can lead to more links. It’s just important to make sure you’re getting the ball rolling in the right way.
The right link-building campaign can help to increase referral traffic and search engine rankings too. So yes, building valuable backlinks is really worth it.
