What is the difference between SEO links and brand mentions?
SEO links carry anchor text to your commercial pages and help them rank in Google. Brand mentions put your name on the listicles and reviews that AI assistants cite, so you get recommended in the answer. We run both and report on each one.
How do you choose where to get placed?
For SEO links, we look at the sites linking to your competitors and filter for relevance, traffic and spam signals. For brand mentions, we start from the prompts we track and the URLs AI cites for them. A senior strategist approves every target.
Do you pay for placements?
Yes. Link building is generally pay to play. We sometimes do swaps instead, for example reciprocal swaps if we are talking to your competitors. The publisher fee passes through at cost. Typical fees run from $100 to $500, and premium publications cost more. You can pay as you go or include fees in the retainer.
Do you do link swaps?
Only for brand mentions, and we always check with you before doing a swap. Every swap pitch names what you give back.
Can we buy link building on its own?
No. Right now, we only offer link building as part of our full-service SEO retainer.
How do you guarantee placements?
We keep placements live for 12 months, which is the industry standard.
How long until we see results?
Outreach takes about 90 days to reach full pace. Clients start to see movement within 60 days, like rankings climbing on target pages and new AI mentions.
How do you report on placements?
You get a live tracker with every placement, its track, URL, status and fee. Each month we report rankings on target pages and how often AI recommends you.
