Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about link building

How many backlinks will I get each month?

It depends on the campaign type. Digital PR campaigns may earn fewer but higher authority links. Niche edit campaigns can deliver larger volumes. Every campaign is reported transparently with placement URLs.

Do you buy links?

No. We earn editorial links, secure niche edits on relevant sites and place expert guest contributions. We do not buy links from PBNs, link farms or paid link networks.

How long until link building moves rankings?

Most clients see ranking movement within 60 to 120 days of consistent link building. Competitive niches and high-difficulty terms may take 6 months or more.

Will link building help with AI search?

Yes. Generative AI platforms and answer engines weigh authority signals heavily. Strong, relevant backlinks reinforce the entity signals that AI search relies on.

Do you do disavow files?

Yes. Toxic link audits and disavow file preparation are part of the standard onboarding for any new link building engagement.
