Sean Wozencroft, 8848’s Head of Content and PR looks at link building and asks if it’s the SEO secret weapon you’ve been ignoring.
Ranking high on search results pages can often feel like winning the marketing lottery. But what are the secrets to unlocking those coveted top spots?
On the back of a recent link building campaign for our client ORJ Law, it might be worth a few words to explain why you should consider doing something similar.
You should think of links as votes of confidence in the online world. When high-quality websites link back to yours, it tells search engines like Google that your content is valuable and trustworthy. The more high-authority links you have, the more likely your website is to climb the search engine ladder and reach your target audience.
Why is link building such a powerful SEO tool?
Links act as a popularity contest for search engines. The more backlinks you have, the higher your website will likely rank for relevant keywords.
Higher search engine rankings translate to more organic traffic. Users are more likely to click on websites that appear at the top of search results pages.
Backlinks from reputable websites establish your brand as a thought leader in your industry. This can boost brand awareness and trust among your target audience.
When another website links to yours, it’s essentially sending qualified traffic your way. These visitors are already interested in a similar topic, making them more likely to convert into leads or customers.
Sounds great, but how do I actually do it?
