The Problem

Why most link building fails

The industry is full of agencies selling volume, not value. Here's what they get wrong.

PBN & Spam Links

Private blog networks look clean on a report until a core update hits. These links are actively harmful and Google gets better at detecting them every year.

Zero Topical Relevance

A DR 80 link from a lifestyle blog adds no topical authority signal to your B2B SaaS pages. Context is as important as domain strength.

Vanity Metric Reports

Reports full of DA scores and link counts with no connection to keyword positions, organic sessions, or revenue impact.

Revenue By Niche

Anonymous client revenue wins
across competitive niches

Many clients do not want public attribution tied to active link acquisition campaigns. We keep names, domains, and identifying details private so there is no obvious public trail connecting your brand to ongoing link building activity.

Names, domains, and publication footprints are withheld on purpose. In competitive or regulated markets, clients want link building handled confidentially, with as little public trace as possible, so Google and competitors are not handed an easy map of the campaign.

Why Us

The Upgrade Links
difference

We're not a marketplace. We're a specialist authority partner that treats your rankings as seriously as you do.

Editorial-Only Policy

Never a PBN, link exchange, or sponsored content disguised as editorial.

Competitor-Level Sourcing

We benchmark the strongest links in your market. If an important publication is not already in our connections, our outreach team goes after it directly and wins 90%+ of qualified targets.

Revenue-Tied Reporting

Monthly reports connect placements to keyword movements and organic revenue.

Named Senior Strategist

You work with a real strategist, not a ticket queue or anonymous delivery team.

Confidential Delivery

Client names stay anonymised, case studies are redacted, and campaign details are kept private so there is no obvious public footprint pointing back to your link building.

Client Voices

Don't take our word for it

Within 4 months we went from page 3 to position 2 for our main product keyword. The publications they secured were outlets we'd been trying to get into for years.

Jamie Morrison
Head of Growth, Flowvault SaaS
★★★★★

Every other agency gave us reports full of random blogs nobody reads. Upgrade Links placed us in outlets our clients actually cite. That's the difference between vanity and authority.

We white-label their service for 8 retained SEO clients. Quality is consistent, reporting is client-ready, and the margins make it the most profitable part of our delivery stack.

FAQ

Questions we get every day

Most clients start to see measurable keyword movement within 60 to 90 days. Traffic gains usually follow after that. We track early indicators like crawl activity and keyword movement from the start.
Yes. Every placement is pitched and earned through editorial outreach. We do not use PBNs, link exchanges, or low-quality networks. If a placement changes in a way that breaks the agreement, we replace it.
Our average placement DR is 72 (Ahrefs). We work within DR 50–95 depending on your niche. We prioritise topical relevance alongside raw domain metrics.
Starter and Growth plans have a 3-month initial commitment, then roll monthly. Authority plans are typically 6 or 12 months. We don't believe in trapping clients who aren't seeing results.
We guarantee the number of placements in scope and that each link stays live for 12 months. If a link drops, we replace it. We do not guarantee exact rankings because nobody controls Google's algorithm.
