Link Building Services with a Backlink Audit
Link building services with a backlink audit first. GSA audits your existing links for toxic, broken and lost opportunities, then earns editorial placements on relevant sites. No bought links, no networks. If you want the audit first, start with the SEO audit company or book a call.
Limited client capacity — onboarding a small number of authority clients each month
Backlink audit first
Audit backlinks before you build. The audit tells you what to keep, what to fix and what to earn next — so the retainer starts from evidence, not a target list.
What the audit answers
- Which links are toxic, irrelevant or risky?
- Which links are broken or pointing at the wrong page?
- Which mentions, competitor links and unlinked assets are winnable?
- Which pages are ready to earn links, and which need a content fix first?
Why it comes first
- You cannot judge a link campaign without a baseline.
- A disavow or removal decision needs evidence, not a tool score alone.
- Links to a page that cannot rank waste money.
- You see the target list before any outreach is sent.
If you need the audit without the retainer, the SEO audit company runs it as a fixed-scope engagement. If you want the full search picture, compare SEO services.
What the backlink audit checks
We audit backlinks against relevance, authority and risk. The report separates links that help from links that dilute.
Toxic links
Spammy, hacked or irrelevant domains, unnatural anchor patterns, and links from sites with no real audience. Each is judged in context, not by a single score.
Broken links
Links to your site that 404, redirect chains, and broken internal links on the target page. A broken link is a lost click and a lost signal.
Lost opportunities
Mentions without a link, competitor links you could earn, and pages that deserve a citation but have none. These are the fastest wins before new outreach.
Link building that fits your site
The best link is one a reader would click. A link building services retainer should add relevance, authority and trust — not just a higher third-party score.
Relevance
Topical match between the linking page, your page and the searcher. A link from a relevant site beats a bigger number from an unrelated one.
Authority
Real traffic, editorial standards and a history of citing sources. We qualify targets on evidence, not a single DR or DA number.
Risk
No private blog networks, no paid link schemes and no unnatural velocity. We show you every target before outreach and every placement after it goes live.
The backlink audit report
A backlink audit report you can act on: the finding, the evidence, the fix and the order.
What we build
A prioritised list of disavow candidates, broken links to fix, lost mentions to reclaim, target pages and an anchor plan. Every row has a URL and a reason.
What we don’t
We do not buy links, join networks, hide sources, or promise DR, DA, rankings or traffic. Those metrics are third-party estimates and can change.
How we report
Each placement is logged with its live URL, the anchor, the target page and the metrics observed at publication. You see what changed and what did not.

FAQ
Do you buy links?
No. We earn editorial placements through outreach and genuine stories. We do not buy links, use private blog networks, or place links on sites we cannot show you first.
How do you choose link targets?
We start with relevance, then check the site’s audience, editorial standards and history. You see every target before outreach. A high DR alone is not a reason to pitch a site.
What is a backlink audit?
A backlink audit reviews the links pointing to your site and the links you could earn. It separates toxic, broken and lost opportunities, then gives you a priority order and a target-page plan.
How long before links help?
Editorial links are earned over weeks, and rankings can take longer to respond. We report placements monthly and re-audit quarterly. Links amplify a page that already matches intent and is technically sound.
Can you remove toxic links?
We identify candidates and prepare a disavow or removal plan where the evidence supports it. Removal depends on the site owner; we do not claim to delete a third-party page.
What is the Audit Credit Guarantee?
If the agreed number of placements is not delivered in your first quarter, the equivalent value is credited against a GSA content or technical service. It covers delivery volume only.
Can I choose the target pages?
Yes. We agree the priority pages and the anchors before any outreach so links point where they do the most good.
Do you guarantee DR, DA, or a specific publisher?
No. We sell a retainer service, not guaranteed links. DR, DA and traffic estimates are third-party, volatile metrics from tools like Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz — we qualify targets using them at the time of publication, but they can change afterwards and that is outside our control. Placements are reported with their live URL and the metrics observed at publication. If a link is removed or materially downgraded within 90 days, we try to replace it. See clause 6.6 in our Terms.
How much do link building services cost?
Backlink diagnostics start at $199 for the Link Risk & Gap; Manual Action Recovery is scoped from $2,500; monitoring starts at $99/month. Editorial link building is scoped by invitation after the diagnostic.
