Small business link building service
You run the business — get a backlink plan you can actually execute
SEO is the thing you keep postponing: DIY research eats your evenings, and agencies are out of budget. We change that. In 5 business days we hand you a step-by-step plan of vetted local and niche targets you can work through an hour at a time — who to contact, what angle, and what to say.

Your plan is emailed to you within 5 business days of payment.
Secure checkout via Stripe. Use the same email you submitted with, so we can match your payment to your site.

How a small business link building plan compares to the alternatives
We sell strategy and research — verified targets, angles, templates, and a sequence. We don't sell placements or links, and we don't claim to be a tool. Here's an honest read on each option:
Agency
The full managed service — a team runs your link building month over month on a retainer.
Powerful if you have the budget and want it done for you. Verified small-business SEO retainers run roughly $1,500–$3,500/mo, and entry retainers broadly cluster around $425–$5,500/mo. But it's committed ongoing spend for ongoing work, and outcomes are still never guaranteed.
Right when you want execution, month after month, and can afford a retainer.
Freelancer
A person you hire to run outreach for you.
Quality and availability vary person to person, and a good one usually commands a recurring fee. If you'd rather someone else send the emails, a freelancer may remain the right call.
Right when you want someone to do the sending.
Software (Ahrefs, Semrush, Respona…)
Powerful tools for research, auditing, outreach, and monitoring — each usually a separate subscription you operate yourself.
They solve different components of the same workflow, and those components are commonly separate tools used together. We produce the strategy layer on top: who to contact, what angle, what to say. Tools and a plan complement each other.
Right for the operational work — and they don't do the human outreach-sequencing strategy we sell.
DIY
Do the research and outreach yourself, free.
Viable and genuinely free — our small-business guide covers the whole method. But it costs hours of research, target qualification, and outreach writing, and reply rates tend to be low when you're starting cold.
Right when your time is free and you don't mind slow progress.
No path here guarantees rankings — ours included. Judge any option by the quality of its research and what it honestly promises. See the DIY small business strategy if you'd rather build it yourself.
Proof comes from founding customers — consent-first
We're building our first cohort of founding customers now: they pay a reduced rate in exchange for candid feedback and, with explicit, revocable consent, an anonymized case study of how the plan works in practice for a small business. We'll publish only what real customers have agreed to share — never a fabricated result.
Until real consented data exists, the strongest proof we can show you is the sample deliverable itself — inspect the actual plan you'd receive.
Frequently asked
Is this for sole traders and one-person shops?
Yes. The whole point is that you don't have a marketing team or an SEO person. The plan is written to be executed by one person in short sessions — vetted local and niche targets, ready-to-personalize templates, and a sequence you run an hour at a time.
How much time will this actually take me?
We're honest: outreach takes some work — there's no way around sending the emails. But the plan removes the research bottleneck that eats your time. You get the who, the angle, and the exact words, in a 30-day sequence designed to run in a handful of hours a week. If you genuinely can't do outreach even once a week, a freelancer or agency may still be the better fit.
Are directories and local press included?
The targets are the outlets and people that actually matter for your kind of business — relevant niche and trade media, local press and publications your customers read, plus legitimate directories and roundup pages where they belong. Every target comes with a real contact path and a note on why they'd care about your site. We don't pad the list with random blogs.
What does 'no guarantee' actually mean?
No placement is ever guaranteed, by us or by anyone honest in the industry. Every outlet, person, and angle in your plan is real and verifiable, but links are earned by editors on their own timeline. We guarantee the research and the plan, never the outcome. Anyone promising you guaranteed links for a small business is overselling you.
What if I can't do outreach every week?
The 30-day sequence is a guide you can slow down or reorder — it's your schedule, not a contract. If weeks get missed, the templates and targets still work whenever you pick them up. If you decide you never want to send outreach yourself, we'll be honest that an agency or freelancer is the right path for you.
How does $149 compare to hiring an agency?
Agencies run link building for you on an ongoing monthly retainer — verified small-business SEO retainers run roughly $1,500–$3,500/mo, and entry retainers across the board cluster around $425–$5,500/mo. This is a one-time $149 flat fee for the research and strategy layer you execute yourself. Neither approach guarantees rankings.
