Link Building Outreach SEO Services
Link Building, also known as link outreach services, remains an important SEO tactic for websites and eCommerce stores. Read below for an overview of the key options SEO providers use to acquire backlinks from external websites.
What is link building?
Link building is the process SEO companies use to acquire hyperlinks from external websites to your own.
For example, a hyperlink from a page on the NZ Herald to a page on this website would be considered a backlink. One website (e.g. the NZ Herald) can link from multiple pages to your website creating +10,000 backlinks.
Generally, because the backlinks come from an external website that you do not control, they can be removed at any time.
We recommend reading Google’s Guidelines on Link Schemes before undertaking an SEO link building program.
