High Quality Link Building Services for Businesses Looking to Scale Organically
Let’s get one thing straight; when it comes to link building, the one size fits all approach doesn’t work. Why? Because your industry is central to the type of content you produce and which publications you feature on.
It’s a complex process that demands a lot of commitment and technical ability. But relevant links are essential to Google and other search engines determining where your website ranks on the results page.
Great links = higher levels of authority and trust, more traffic and higher success rates.
Poor links = low levels of authority, a very confused Googlebot and potential penalties if you use black hat techniques.
- High Quality Links Built on True Value Metrics

- Contextual Text Based Links that are Followed

– NM Motors
Assertive offers a range of link building services to suit all of your websites needs. We know that every company is different, so we don’t have a standard package but a bespoke plan that will give you the best chance of achieving your goals.
As an experienced link building company we know that you want so much more than a few links. Advice, ongoing support and a multi-pronged approach from an experienced marketing agency should be a given, but so many companies offer substandard services.
At Assertive, we combine content marketing with a range of outreach techniques and white hat links to ensure you can climb up the search engine results pages.
We’re not just a link building agency, we’re a full service SEO agency and as such, it allows us to combine our full expertise to ensure links built remain on par / above Google quality guidelines.
We’re not just about traditional link metrics – TF, DR, UR, CF and all sorts of link abbreviations, we’re about building links between content that has synergy, content that is related and genuinely beneficial for end users.
Our SEO Brands
What does link building involve?
SEO link building increases your chances of first-page ranking on the search engines results page, so it’s vital to your marketing strategy. It’s also something nobody wants to do (except our amazing link builders), but something you have to attempt to navigate if you want a successful site.
A successful link building campaign can get your brand on nationally recognised publications and take your traffic from resembling a country road in the Lake District to a busy high street in New York City – when it’s done right.
Outreach (not just Blogger Outreach)
And why’s it so important?
Blogger outreach is one of the most sought after link building services we offer, and many regard it as a valuable tool in any link building campaign. By producing original content and placing it on relevant publications, your business gains the exposure it needs to grow.
We prefer using high-quality content that we can approach prominent publications with rather than using back door techniques. Not only does it ensure you promote trust within your industry, but it also allows you to become an authoritative source of information and increases brand awareness.
We’re All About Dedication
We’re not going to lie; reaching out to publications and getting a coveted guest post spot takes a lot of dedication and commitment. But when it happens, it’s worth it for our team and clients.
Each of our outreach experts knows how to approach publications and put your company in the best light. Behind the scenes, your content team is going above and beyond to make sure the blog posts we present to authority sources are too good to turn down.

How does Link Building Work?
We believe our link building services are not only some of the highest quality out there but fundamentally the most sustainable. We don’t work with quick fix campaigns nor do we shortcut with outsourcing or other lower-quality approaches. We strive to earn our clients good quality links via a number of refined & honed SEO processes.
We work to strike up relationships with key influencers, other website owners and people of relevance who will want to link to your content – because, we’ll help make your content great, we’ll then market it to earn links that Google & other search engines love.
Some of the key processes behind how our link building works includes:
Research
We analyse your industry and website to identify all the relevant target keywords. Using proxy-based tools we then conduct searches to identify competitors. From there we examine competitor link profiles to ascertain what links exist and what we can go for.
Combined Link Building Methods
Depending on your niche, budget and competitors we’ll isolate the best SEO strategy to acquire links to your domain – this will usually involve a combined link building strategy including manual outreach, niche edits and digital PR for a maximum impact campaign.
Nurture, Earn and Manage
Once we’ve nurtured and built links to your website, we’ll look for more opportunities whilst monitoring new link vs. lost link rates ensuring your link retention rates remain as high as possible and that your brand/website gets to enjoy the extra link equity & trust factors.
How our Link Building Services helped to drive strong organic growth for Warranty Direct
Assertive worked on a comprehensive link building strategy for Warranty Direct to help bolster domain rating, domain relevance and overall brand trust. Assertive created a bespoke link acquisition strategy that involved sourcing relevant publications and reaching out to earn opportunities to gain links by offering data and insights pertaining to car breakdowns, worst cars for reliability and more.

Broken Link Building Service
Broken link building is useful for businesses because when you approach people correctly, they’re likely to agree to add your links. But how does it work?
The chances are, you’ve probably clicked on a link only to find that annoying page not found message. There are many reasons why publications might have broken links, but a lot of webmasters fail to notice them.
At Assertive, we have a dedicated team of specialists that monitor websites relevant to your target audience and identify opportunities to provide webmasters with alternative links.
The approach is beneficial to all parties involved, so it’s such a popular link building strategy.
We Don’t Do Blackhat Here
A common worry of our clients is if a broken links campaign can result in penalties. The short answer is no, it can’t. Assertive only works with reputable publications, and we’re willing to put the extra work into sourcing broken links and increase your ranking. Every single link we produce is genuine, and we’re proud to be able to help you achieve your goals the right way.
Resource Link Building
Every time you read a publication, the writers either link to relevant sources or provide a resource section on their website. Each resource link takes you to an authority website relevant to the topic/industry, which means people that manage to build a successful resource link building strategy get a lot more traffic.
To be honest, people avoid resource link building because it’s challenging to connect with the right publications and create a relevant piece of content.
Building a network of publications takes a lot of time – which is why you can benefit from our extensive network. We’ve been in the business for a long time and have a network of publications and influencers in various industries to liaise with and get your links on the right magazine or blog.
Our writers can create authoritative pieces of content that people will want to include on their resources page, and we’ll always do the most we possibly can to increase your visibility.
Curated Links & Outreach
The outreach process we use in our curated links service is similar to finding and replacing broken links. Curated link building involves taking content that is already indexed and published, then changing it to include extra content.
With the webmaster’s agreement, we can add editorial links to established content – which can result in a higher level of authority and more visitors.
Instead of writing a new post, our content creators have to walk the fine line between adding a fascinating new paragraph and respecting the current content. For this reason, a lot of SEO marketing agencies prefer to stay away from curated links.
Our enthusiastic writers are always up for a challenge. Their combined industry knowledge and expertise mean we can offer a curated link package for people who want a speedy approach to link building.
International Link Building
Scale your business in international markets.
If you have dreams of becoming the next Richard Branson or Elon Musk, you need to cater to a global audience. International link building uses the same techniques as traditional link building, but we tailor it to meet your target audience members’ behaviours in each country. Using this service, you can scale your content to an international level and feature on significant publications worldwide.
The Collaborative Approach
We have international contacts that are always useful to reach out to. Our team members can use their connections and knowledge of other countries to identify the best outreach opportunities for your brand.
International link building is a long-term strategy, but if you want to increase your brand’s exposure, it’s a very useful approach.
Why Choose Assertive as Your Link Building Agency?
With so many marketing agencies around, what makes us stand out? It’s what you’re thinking, and we don’t blame you. The fact is, we’re in a competitive industry – but that makes us strive for perfection. So, here are some reasons we think we’re the link building agency for the job.
We’ve been around for 13+ years.
Yep, really. As an agency, we’ve done most of it and definitely seen it all. Any niche within the marketing industry has a lot of volatility, and the secret of our success is that we never take anything for granted.
Delivering the best link building service requires a lot of determination and resilience. Most importantly, our incredible team are relentless in their pursuit of sourcing high-quality links for your business, and they always deliver.
We Don’t Just Offer Link Building Services.
While some link building agencies believe in specialising in one service, we know better. Assertive has a diverse team of creatives, technical wizards, project managers, and designers ready to make your vision come to life.
Using this mixture of talent, we can make sure publications find your content irresistible and win you some top publication placements.
You’re In Charge
Just because we know our stuff doesn’t mean we don’t want to listen to you. You know your business better than anyone. If you wish to focus on outreach, broken link building or another strategy, Assertive is here.
We’ll always do our best to help you meet your goals and listen to your company’s most essential features, which allows us to deliver a truly bespoke service to every one of our clients.
See Our Expansive Network Of Publications.
We work with a range of publications and influencers to make sure our clients get the best possible opportunities to feature in industry-relevant blogs and magazines. Our clients are regularly featured in mainstream publications including The Telegraph, The Sun, BBC News, Yahoo News & lots more.
Our Link Building Process
As a team, we focus on providing the best experience for every client and refuse to compromise on the quality of our work and the client support we offer. No client is the same, and depending on your requirements, we’ll go through a series of steps to determine how we can best meet your needs.
1. Initial Consultation
Feel free to ask us as many questions as you’d like, and we’ll talk you through the services we think would be appropriate for you and how they could help your business to reach its goals.
If you decide you’d like to proceed, we’ll assign one of our project managers to you, and we’ll get to work.
2. Research Phase
Using a combination of white hat know-how and innovative software, we’ll identify areas of opportunity and present you with a plan of action. You have complete control over your backlink strategy, and we welcome your feedback.
3. Auditing Your Website
Before we unleash our outreach experts, we have to look at your current links and fix any existing issues. For example, if you have broken links, we can fix them before we source new opportunities.
Auditing your website is also a fantastic opportunity to see how it measures up against competitors. Ultimately, we want you to have the best chance of success, so we take this process very seriously. We also want to ensure your existing link profile is clean and free of spam.
4. Content & Outreach
Content creation is vital for outreach, so while our team identifies excellent opportunities for you to gain more links, our writers will make sure your content is compelling, informative and has an authoritative tone.
The relationships we have with publications and influencers can sometimes speed up this process, but we never rush a job – especially when you’re in a competitive industry.
With the right content and a consistent but professional approach to outreach, we’re confident we can execute any link building strategy and deliver excellent results.
5. Data Driven Evaluation
Long term results are only achievable if we can monitor which methods work and which don’t. No business is the same, and for that reason, some link building techniques might not be effective for your purposes.
By consistently evaluating the impact of each technique we implement, we can ensure you receive the best link building services possible. It’s also beneficial for you to see the work we’re doing and track how it’s moving you towards your long-term goals.
6. Organic Observation
Even if we’re only comissioned to look after your websites link building, we’ll still observe the impact that link growth is having on your website as well as top level domain metrics.
We’ll look at how new high quality links are supporting your websites organic traffic growth.
Of course if we identify any issues with your website that’ll impede link value we’ll make you aware.
Don’t settle for poor quality links.
We can deliver links that move the needle when it comes to traffic & relevance.
For over 13 years, we’ve provided our clients with premium link building services but believe that quality work shouldn’t only be available for nationally recognised brands with large budgets. We pride ourselves on our combination of quality and cost-effective prices. Something’s working because most of our clients stick with us for over 5 years! We’d love for you to be among them, so it’s only right that you should see what our loyal clients have to say.
Link Building FAQs
How much do you charge for link building services?
To provide you with the best quality link-building services, we have to look at your company’s individual needs before offering a quote. While some agencies offer packages, we think it’s essential to do a proper analysis.
We can, however, guarantee you that the cost of our service is nothing compared to the quality of the results you’ll receive.
Our link-building services start from £1000 + VAT per month.
Which link building strategy is best for me?
Any link building strategy that increases your authority within your chosen industry and generates higher traffic levels is the best for your needs. We can’t say which approach is best without auditing your domains existing link profile and performing a competitive analysis.
Whichever strategy we recommend will be the one that will deliver the best results in the shortest amount of time.
Is link building a quick process?
When you think of link building services, the phrase good things come to those who wait should be at the front of your mind. Is link building ever a quick process? It depends on the agency you choose. But any trustworthy link building agency will tell you that it’s a long-term investment.
It will take time for the links to have an impact, but our team works hard to ensure they deliver high-quality links in the least amount of time possible.
My website already has lots of links but low rankings – why is this?
We often hear this from new clients, and the answer usually lies in link quality. If you have thousands of links on low authority websites, you won’t rank highly. However, five to ten links on nationally recognised publications can give your business a noticeable boost.
How long will it take to get our website on page 1 of Google?
Again, we can’t ever give a specific amount of time because it all depends on the industry you’re in. For example, a local pet accessories company will rank quicker than a web design agency.
Once we perform an analysis, we’ll advise you on how much time it might take. We can’t ever guarantee you’ll reach the first page on Google’s SERP within a specified amount of time, but we will do whatever it takes to get you there.
What does domain authority mean?
Authority refers to two ways in which Google and other search engines measure the validity of your website.
Domain authority: Measures the strength of a domain in reference to the industry it operates in.
Page authority: Analyses how effective each page is in terms of industry relevance, backlinks and content.
