Start with the destination
Which page deserves the reader’s next click?
For B2B SaaS link building, the target page shapes the audience, story, and outreach. These fictional examples show three different routes—not a requirement to build links to every page.
Product & integration pages
/integrations/team-calendarA guide to connecting a calendar with a team planning tool.
The link helps readers understand a specific integration. The destination needs setup details, limitations, and a useful next step.
Solution pages
/solutions/agency-planningAn industry resource about planning client work at an agency.
The audience and use case match. A relevant example or workflow gives an editor a reason to include the page.
Research & useful resources
/research/team-planning-surveyOriginal findings that support an article about team capacity.
Publish the method and useful findings. Connect the resource to a relevant solution on your site so readers can continue exploring.
Inside opportunity selection
Same target page. Two very different opportunities.
A fictional comparison for an agency planning product. We assess the reader, article, and destination together; a domain score cannot answer those questions.
What we checkOpportunity A · Industry guideOpportunity B · General link list
Audience
A · Industry guideA publication read by operations leads at agencies.
B · General link listA general site covering unrelated consumer deals.
Article & context
A · Industry guideAn edited guide about allocating work across client teams.
B · General link listA list of software links with no explanation of their use.
Destination
A · Industry guideYour agency planning page answers the next practical question.
B · General link listA generic homepage link interrupts an unrelated paragraph.
Decision
A · Industry guideInvestigate further: check the publisher, pitch angle, and any commercial terms.
B · General link listPass on this opportunity in its current form, regardless of the domain score.
Further checks include editorial ownership, publishing patterns, anchor text, link attributes, destination access, and commercial terms. DR and traffic estimates provide context; neither is a pass/fail rule.

Your team supplies product facts, subject-matter input, existing assets, and a contact for decisions. We coordinate the agreed research, outreach, and reporting. Any new writing, design, or publisher expense is defined before that work begins.
Scope, cost & expectations
Before you choose an agency.
Who is this service for?
SaaS, AI, and B2B teams with useful product or content pages and someone available to provide product expertise. If the target page is thin, inaccessible, or unclear, we scope that work first. Link building belongs alongside content and technical SEO.
What determines the cost?
The quote depends on target markets, page scope, research and outreach effort, asset production, and reporting or maintenance requirements. We separate our work from any publisher fees. Writing, design, and technical implementation are scoped explicitly; the standalone service is quoted for your project.
Can you guarantee a number of links or a ranking?
We agree deliverable definitions and targets before work begins. Editorial acceptance and search rankings are outside our control. The combined SEO engagement has its own stated scope; its volume is not an automatic promise for every standalone campaign. Outreach attempts and submissions are reported separately from verified placements.
How do paid links, nofollow, and digital PR fit?
Editorial outreach, useful resources, and expert contributions are the starting point. Relevant sponsorships require separate approval and clear disclosure; paid links should be qualified appropriately. We record the observed link attributes instead of promising every link will pass ranking credit. Digital PR requires a credible story and production scope, not just a placement list.
What happens when a link changes or disappears?
Agree the monitoring period and response terms in the scope. We record what changed, when it was checked, and the next action, such as contacting the publisher or reviewing a replacement opportunity. We do not promise permanent publication on sites we do not control.
How will we judge progress?
Separate execution from results: review qualified opportunities, publisher responses, and verified placements, then monitor the relevant target pages and referral visits or inquiries where tracking is available. Compare dates and other site changes before attributing a result to links.
For paid and user-generated links, see Google’s link qualification guidance.
