10 links
- A test.
- 7 local directories, 1 Web 2.0 property, 1 guest post, and 1 social bookmark.
Backlink packages
Backlink packagesA counted set of links, then a white-label report.
Output packages that link your client's pages from other sites: local directories, niche directories, Web 2.0 properties, guest posts, article submissions, social bookmarks, and, on the largest package, social shares. Forbes (28/11/2023) is cited for 45.1% of clicks coming from organic results, and for a first-page click rate of 27.6% against 15.8% on page two. Those figures are not a result for one site.
What the links are for
You may already be doing the on-page work. These packages add the links. They aim to make the site easier for search engines to recognise. They do not, on their own, turn visits into leads.
- 01
A known number of links
Each package lists how many directories, posts, bookmarks, and articles are included. You are buying that output.
- 02
A report you can brand
At the end you get a white-label account of what was placed.
- 03
A starting point, or a larger push
Ten links is the test. One hundred is for a business that already runs a wide SEO plan.
Five packages
The mix changes with the size. Directory listings use the business details and the descriptions you check.
20 links
- A faster push.
- 15 local directories, 2 Web 2.0 properties, 1 guest post, and 2 social bookmarks.
30 links
- 20 local directories, 2 Web 2.0 properties, 2 guest posts, 1 article submission, and 5 social bookmarks.
50 links
- For a larger site.
- 30 local directories, 5 niche directories, 2 Web 2.0 properties, 2 guest posts, 3 article submissions, and 10 social bookmarks.
100 links
- For a wide SEO plan.
- 50 local directories, 10 niche directories, 20 social bookmarks, 3 Web 2.0 properties, 3 guest posts, 4 article submissions, and 10 social shares.
How it runs
Pick the package, place the links, send the report
Once the business details are in, we choose the placements inside the package and set them up.
What you check before anything is published
Directory descriptions need a grammar and fact check from your team. Those descriptions are what third-party directories will show.
Links can help traffic. They do not guarantee it. We do not turn that traffic into leads. That is conversion rate optimisation. A search engine can change how much a link is worth.
What we do, and what we need from you
We cannot write a directory listing without the business details, or post a description you have not checked.
| Task | Your agency |  |
|---|---|---|
| Once the details are in, we link the site to directories, social shares, article submissions, and the other channels in the package you chose. | ||
| We send a white-label report of that work at the end. | ||
| The business name, address, phone number, email, opening hours, and website URL. | ||
| A check of the descriptions for grammar and accuracy before they go onto directory sites. |
What a backlink package does not do
It is part of SEO. It aims to make the site easier to find and to support the public record of the business. It does not do any other job.
More traffic is typical, not guaranteed. Conversion rate optimisation is a separate order if the goal is leads. Major search engines can change the algorithm, and the value of a link can change with it.
What you can sell next
A fuller SEO programme makes the site easier to find than links alone. Conversion rate optimisation is the follow-on when the visits need to become enquiries or sales.
If the links are already producing leads, Google Ads can add traffic on the same phrases. Email and social sit alongside that.
How agencies sell it
Explain what a link does for rankings and traffic before you name a package. Lives, videos, workshops, or a chemistry call are the formats the summary suggests.
Then match the package to the industry and the budget, or bundle it with SEO or website maintenance.
