What is Link Building?
Link building is the process of acquiring backlinks from other websites to improve the site’s SEO on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs). It is one crucial facet of optimization that builds the site’s authority (off-page perspective).
Link building is a cornerstone of SEO that businesses and agencies use to get ahead of the competition in organic search results. Google sees each link as a vote of confidence in your website.
Therefore, the better quality and more backlinks attributed to your site, the stronger you build your site’s backlink profile, and the higher the likelihood of your site ranking for your target keywords.

A link building service is a solution for the optimization needs of agencies, in-house marketers, and business owners to support their in-house SEO activities, including technical SEO and on-page SEO.

Discover the exact workflow process of how we partner with agencies and businesses to achieve higher rankings in Google’s SERPs.
Strategy Call and Walkthrough
In our $2K worth strategy call, I’ll ask questions about your current SEO context, existing SEO, and link building strategy. This is a basis for setting SEO goals based on the expected acquisition of backlinks. Then, I’ll walk you through how we do link building campaigns from beginning to end.
Customized Link Building Campaign
Every business is different. We customize our link building campaign to suit your business needs and SEO goals. We start by determining the backlink gap between your site and ranking competitors. A link gap analysis report shows the number and quality of links we have to build to reach the first spot of Google’s SERPs.
Approval For Domains
Once we sign our contract (and NDA if required from your end), we use the campaign's first two weeks to create a list of all relevant, quality domains. We send it to your SEO manager (or contact person) to approve these sites/domains. After approval, we proceed to content creation and outreach.
Content Strategy and Distribution
We either use your existing blog assets (or improve them) or publish content assets based on our standard formula as bait for acquiring backlinks from other websites. We collaborate with your in-house SEO/content marketing team to develop content assets that resonate with your target linkable audience.

Will new backlinks rank my site?
This is a common yet valid question for business owners and marketers wanting to improve their organic search rankings. As a link building company, we could instantly say “yes”, but that would dismiss other factors and fully guarantee rankings based on our work.
At SharpRocket, we deeply understand and tell our clients that backlinks aren’t the only ranking factor. Investing in it as early as possible is vital, but having the foundational SEO activities done first will make link building more impactful to your site.
Here are some tips to succeed in today’s search engine landscape:
1. Technical Health
Information architecture, usability, page speed, and code quality are just some of the elements of a technically sound website that allows search engine spiders to crawl pages easily. An excellent, fast website helps with positive user experiences, making it easy for your web visitors to navigate your website seemlessly.
2. Content Quality
The substance, credibility, and length of a webpage's content matter. With Google’s Panda weeding out thin and low-quality pages from search results pages to favor websites that deliver highly credible and useful content, spending time making your content superb and distributing it across social or organic means is imperative.
3. Brand Strength
Search engines like Google show a bias towards brands in Google’s SERPs. More often than not, these brands are perceived to be trustworthy in users' eyes, so search engines follow that behavior. Building your brand through your website’s user experience, excellent operations, and customer service helps to amplify the impact of link building on your website.
4. Authority Signals
Given their adaptive algorithms, authority signals are now easily picked up by search engines. Domain rating, which is based on domain age, size, backlink profile, social signals, and brand mentions, are all indicators of the authoritativeness of a brand. The more authoritative your brand is, the greater your pages' ranking power.

Our Strict Link Metrics As A Link Building Company
We follow guidelines and metrics to ensure the quality of the backlinks we deliver to clients.
Topical Relevance
Our top priority for backlinks is to get the most relevant backlinks to your website. By getting a relevant backlink, you benefit from new referral traffic and assisted conversions from visitors of a referring domain. It also establishes your credibility and ranking power for pages you’re trying to rank in Google’s SERPs.
Authority and Trust Metrics
We use Ahrefs’ Domain Rating to gauge the website's authoritativeness. Domain Rating by Ahrefs measures a domain’s ranking power on a scale of 1 to 100. It mainly depends on the quality and quantity of backlinks pointing to the pages of a particular website. The greater the DR of a site, the more potential the link equity it passes to its destination page (your website).
Organic Traffic
The most valuable links are the ones that you send you relevant traffic. After all, you want to gain not just ranking improvements but also additional referral traffic to your site. Using SEMRush, we check the site’s organic traffic. We filter out domains with less than 1K organic traffic. This ensures all backlinks we acquire come from domains with significant organic traffic.
No History of Algorithmic Penalties
We quality potential link sources based on whether or not they were hit by any penalty in the past. Using SEMRush and Ahrefs, we see patterns of algorithmic penalties that could cause the site’s sudden loss of traffic. We guarantee backlinks from domains with no history of algorithmic penalties, giving you total confidence that your site won’t be at risk.
How Can Backlinks Help Your Rankings?
As tested and verified by Google and SEO thought leaders, backlinks are essential to SEO success and sustainability.
Vote of Confidence
Backlinks serve as a vote of confidence to the destination website. By gaining high-quality backlinks from trusted and authoritative sites, search engines can tell if your website is closely related to these entities. This makes it easy for them to improve your website's ranking power.
Topical Authority
Not only does your site build its topical authority through the massive production of related content on a single topic, but getting backlinks from trusted sites also helps bring relevance signals to search engines about what niche/industry your website belongs to.
Referral Traffic
The best types of links are the ones that send relevant traffic to your website. Through inbound backlinks, users can navigate to your website from other sites hosting the link. This provides opportunities for your brand to capture relevant visitors who could be customers/clients.
Bridging Backlink Gap
The pages ranking for your target keywords may/have quality backlinks pointing to them. When you acquire the most valuable types of links, you close the backlink gap between your site and others. Quality and quantity are both essential factors in link building. Aim for better but more quality backlinks each month.

Absolutely! We let clients see the exact domains before we send outreach emails to possible link sources.

Why Hiring a Link Building Agency Is the Better Choice
Managing link building in-house may seem like a cost-effective approach, but building high-quality backlinks demands expertise, relationships, and consistency—all of which an experienced agency can provide. Here are four major reasons why hiring a professional link-building agency is smarter.
One of the biggest advantages of hiring an agency is access to an existing network of high-quality websites. Over the years, a reputable agency has built trusted partnerships with journalists, content creators, influencers, and .edu and .gov webmasters, allowing you to secure backlinks much faster than an in-house team starting from scratch.
Agencies already know which websites accept guest posts, feature expert contributions (for digital PR), or offer link placements, cutting down on manual outreach time. They can also acquire high-value placements that are difficult for businesses to acquire on their own. At this level, agencies can filter out low-quality sites, ensuring every link comes from a relevant and reputable source.
If a business attempts link building without these relationships, it often faces low response rates and months of A/B testing with outreach templates and expanding link prospecting lists before securing even a handful of links. An agency eliminates this struggle and delivers faster results.
A reliable link building agency in the UK stays up to date with Google’s algorithmic changes in how the SERPs estate changes. For example, we now have AI Overviews with links to specific information sources. Agencies that know how to create a solid link building playbook to help the brand appear in different parts of SERP real estate have an advantage over those that rely only on editorial links from generic blog articles, which are not aligned with the changes in the search landscape.
The UK’s professional link building agencies focus on organic, editorial links from authoritative sources rather than low-value directories or link farms. They avoid risky tactics like private blog networks (PBNs), paid links, or automated link schemes, which can harm rankings. For instance, SharpRocket’s strategies are aligned with EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness), improving the client site’s overall search visibility and trust signals and getting more benefits beyond search rankings.
In contrast, businesses handling link building in-house may unknowingly engage in risky practices. Most heads of SEO teams or directors may not be fully aware of their staff’s nitty-gritty work. This could lead to penalties, ranking drops (after every Google core update), or wasted efforts on low-impact links.
Effective link building is a resource-intensive process that involves constant research, content creation, personalized outreach, and follow-ups. If a company attempts to manage all these internally, it often diverts resources from other critical marketing efforts.
A link building agency in the UK handles the entire process, from prospecting to securing placements, allowing internal teams to focus on content, technical SEO, or business development. They bring efficiency to the optimal by using proprietary tools, outreach automation, and dedicated teams to streamline the link building workflow. So, clients get better results with an agency’s established processes instead of spending months on trial and error.
It feels much worse for companies without a dedicated in-house SEO expert, so hiring an agency would prevent wasted time learning the complexities of link building while ensuring consistent and scalable backlink acquisition.
One of the challenges businesses face with DIY link building is tracking and evaluating the impact of their efforts. A UK professional link building agency provides detailed reports showing real SEO improvements and ensures that every backlink contributes to gaining more advantages in Google’s SERPs.
Agencies can track key metrics like Ahrefs’ Domain Rating, organic traffic impact, and possible referral traffic (and traffic value) from secured links. They can also provide monthly reports with link placements, anchor text distribution, and performance insights (based on individual link destination pages).
Some UK link building agencies even offer real-time dashboards like what we do at SharpRocket, where clients can monitor the progress of their link building campaigns.
Without a link building agency, businesses may struggle to measure the effectiveness of their link-building efforts. Even if they can do so, they lack the high-level expertise to track results with the utmost accuracy, making it difficult for them to optimize growth strategies. A data approach still helps ensure that all resources are allocated efficiently, delivering a higher return on investment.
The Cost of Bad Backlinks (And How to Fix Them)
Bad backlinks can silently damage a website’s SEO, leading to rankings drops, traffic loss, and potential Google penalties (which you also see during and after every Google core algorithm update).
Many businesses don’t realize that links from spammy, irrelevant, or manipulative sources can do more harm than good. Search engines are now more sophisticated at detecting unnatural links, and websites with poor backlink profiles may often struggle to recover if they don’t take action (or recover after months of grinding to solidify backlink profiles).
Below are the key ways bad backlinks can hurt your website—and how to fix them.
If Google detects an unnatural link pattern, such that you’re building an aggressive volume of links per month that are pretty unnatural, it may apply a manual penalty or algorithmic devaluation where it simply doesn’t value your backlinks.
Though you won’t receive many manual penalty notifications these days, all the links you’ve built are a complete waste of time. You should have invested in high-quality backlinks that can improve the trustworthiness of your website.
A website’s ranking strength comes heavily from the quantity and quality of its backlinks. The rule here is to send more rich signals to Google that you build backlinks that improve your website’s trust and credibility. However, a backlink profile filled with low-authority or spammy links weakens the site’s overall link equity, making it harder to compete in search results.
You must start creating and promoting valuable content by reaching out to publishers and creators to amplify the content’s reach. You can also use digital PR to attract better links, naturally from publishers considering your stories and inputs as valuable assets to their content pieces.
Bad backlinks, especially those from link farms, PBNs, or spam directories, often bring irrelevant traffic or even automated bot visits. These inflate website analytics without providing any real value from a real audience. Search engines recognize this, and many consider the site manipulative, leading to lower rankings.
To fix this, regularly monitor referral traffic sources in Google Analytics. If a high percentage of traffic comes from irrelevant or spammy websites, investigate their backlink origins. Removing these links helps clean up your site’s backlink profile and ensures you only acquire genuine, high-intent visitors who will likely convert into actual customers.
Search engines analyze the website’s topical relevance based on the quality and context of its backlinks. For example, if a business in the finance industry has many backlinks from gambling, adult content, or unrelated foreign sites, it confuses search engines about what your website is about and weakens authority in its niche.
Prioritize relevance when building backlinks, whether you do it in-house or hire a link building agency in the UK. Engaging in niche-specific outreach and earning links from trusted industry publications are critical components in building topical authority rather than diluting it.
