// In short

Choose backlinks when your pages are well optimised and indexed but still lose to competitors with more trusted sites linking to them. Local businesses usually start with citations; others with a few relevant editorial links. If pages aren’t indexed, Technical SEO comes first; if pages are thin, On-Page SEO. MD Shamim Mahmud builds local citations and editorial links through personal outreach to real sites, without private blog networks or bulk packages.

// Who it’s for

When links make the difference

Links help most when everything else is already in place.

  • You’re stuck behind competitors

    Your pages are good, but competitors have more trusted sites linking to them.

  • Your local listings are thin

    Few directory listings, or inconsistent details across them.

  • You have something worth linking

    Useful guides, data, local expertise or case studies.

  • You were burned before

    Cheap link packages left you with spammy links you want to avoid.

// How links are earned

From audit to live link

Each link is chosen for relevance first, then earned through personal outreach. You see every live link with its URL, nothing hidden in a bulk report.

No PBNsRelevant sitesEvery URL reported

    Your current backlinks and the links your competitors have that you don’t.

  • Relevant citations

    Directories that matter for your country and industry, with consistent details.

  • Personal outreach

    Real emails to relevant site owners, not mass templates.

  • Content for placement

  • Quality checks

    Real traffic, relevance and no link-selling footprint.

    Every live link with its URL, page and date.

// Before you decide

Earned links or bulk link packages?

Cheap packages promise hundreds of links. Most come from sites built only to sell links, which Google ignores or penalises.

// FAQ

Backlink questions

What site owners ask before building links.

Still have a question? Ask me directly

How much do backlinks cost?

Local citations start from $99 for 30 listings, and three editorial links from relevant sites from $499 (USD), about 30% below what comparable freelancers typically charge. Ongoing link building is quoted after a free call.

How do payments work?

You pay 50% to start and 50% when the links or listings are live. Every payment comes with an invoice and a receipt.

Do you use PBNs or buy links in bulk?

No. Private blog networks and bulk packages break Google’s guidelines and can harm your site.

How long does outreach take?

Citations take a couple of weeks. Editorial links usually take 4–8 weeks, because they depend on site owners replying.

What if a link is removed?

If a link disappears within 90 days, it’s replaced at no extra cost.

Do links help AI search?

Mentions and links from trusted, relevant sites help AI tools see your business as credible. No one can guarantee AI mentions, though.

Will this improve my rankings?

Relevant links help pages compete, but rankings depend on content and competition too, so no position is guaranteed.

Can you disavow bad links?

Yes. If the audit finds spammy links that could be a problem, I’ll explain whether a disavow file is needed.

Need links you can actually trust?

Send your website and two competitors. I’ll reply with the link gap and a plan.
