Link & Citation Building
Build authority where it counts, off your own site.
Search engines and AI systems judge you partly by what other trusted sites say about you. Link and citation building earns those mentions, links, and consistent listings on the sources that matter for both search rankings and AI answers.
Your own pages can only say so much about you.
What other credible sites say about your business shapes how search engines rank you and which sources AI systems cite. Inconsistent or missing listings, thin or irrelevant links, and no presence on the sources that answer your category all cap your authority. We build that presence deliberately, on the directories, publications, and reference sites that carry weight for your market.
What we do
What we do in link and citation building
Backlink and citation audit
We review your current links, mentions, and listings to find gaps, inconsistencies, and the sources you should be on but are not.
Editorial links
We earn links through genuine editorial value, useful assets, and real relationships, not paid placements, so the authority holds up over time.
Consistent listings
We make sure your name, address, and business details are accurate and consistent across the directories and platforms that verify a business.
The sources AI systems cite
We identify the third party sources the AI engines draw on for your topics, and work to get your business represented accurately on them.
Relevant and local placements
We focus on industry and location sources that add real relevance for your market, not volume for its own sake.
Tracking and reporting
We monitor authority, referring domains, and where your brand appears, so you can see the effect on both search and AI visibility.
Our approach
How we work differently.
Every link and mention is earned through real value and relationships. That keeps your profile safe and the authority durable, rather than fragile paid links that can be discounted or penalised.
We build authority on the sources that raise your rankings and on the sources that AI systems cite, because increasingly they are the same sources.
A handful of trusted, relevant sources does more than a long list of weak ones. We build for quality and fit, not for a number in a report.

Our process
How we deliver results.
Step 1
Measure & Audit
We measure before we move. A baseline of your visibility across search and AI, your technical setup, and the competitive landscape shows exactly where the biggest, most winnable opportunities are.
Step 2
Strategy & Roadmap
We build a prioritised roadmap tiered by difficulty and phased over time, combining technical SEO, programmatic SEO, and GEO so easy wins ship first and harder plays are sequenced.
Step 3
Execution & Automation
We implement hands-on and ship in waves, from technical fixes and content architecture to workflow automation. Redirects ship with the pages, so nothing regresses as we move.
Step 4
Measure & Iterate
We monitor performance across both search and AI, report on results, and refine the approach to compound organic and AI visibility over time.
